Have a Happy Thanksgiving with the Farm Turkeys !!!
Well crap. Look at the time. No research again tonight then.
I sent out a reminder email at work today about the SPCA and Food Bank drives. I must have hit a few guilt buttons because some people brought money over to me. I went out tonight and picked up a few things, mostly for the food bank. I forgot to copy the wish lists so I didn't go crazy with the buying. Besides, last year I must have shopped at least three different times for the drives, so I know I'll be going again, and I'll remember the lists.
A week from tomorrow morning is my exam. I'm not even done my first read-through of the material. Crap x 2. I am taking Friday off to study some more, then I'll also be off on Wednesday. The only good thing about all of this is that my exam will be done by late morning and then I'll have the rest of the day to goof around and maybe do some Christmas shopping. Oh, and I'll be missing the client cocktail again this year since it's the night before the exam (although Boss seems to think I should pop over for it since it's only two hours long - ummm, no). I'll wave to the bottomless shrimp as I weep over my textbook.
Edgar's meows tonight are quite clear and loud, especially when he's sitting up in my lap and looking me in the face when he does it. I'm sure it means something. Maybe he's trying to tell me that even though our Thanksgiving is over and done with, I should be making him turkey to celebrate with his US kitty friends tomorrow.
Okay, I have to go to bed. I still have a few days left to finish up NaBloPoMo with a blast, right?
Mr FD has started describing people as being "about our age". As Mr FD is eight years older than I am, I am not sure that I am happy about that at all! Thin edge of the wedge!

I love tourists ... really I do because they help my local economy but..
- please stand to the right on the metro (train) escalators so that we locals, with things to do, can walk past on the left. There is even a sign asking you.
- and when you get to the top, or bottom, of the escalator please do not just stop there while you figure out where to go next. There are 50 people about to trip up behind you.
- Oh - and if a machine has a diagram of how a ticket should be inserted they really want you to insert your ticket that way!
I think someone needs a drink .......
I wish all Americans a Happy & Safe Thanksgiving - even the tourists!
...I would invite every one of my handsome, adorable, clever neighbors to my apartment for Thanksgiving dinner.
If I could, I would expand my list of invitees, like a sparkling balloon, to include parents, children and all manner of pets. How I would love to be introduced to them all.
If I could, I would alter the design of my dinner table into something Dr. Seuss or Lewis Carroll might design - curving into space, higher and higher - until it had lengthened sufficiently so that every one of you could find a place.
If I could, I would alter the space continuum so that my kitchen would be BIG ENOUGH to accommodate the positively epic, Edwardian dinner I would plan for you.
If I could, I would alter the time continuum so that my far-flung precious ones would be able to find their way to the Aubrey domicile with ease and economy. And yet still be able to travel first-class.
If I could, I would place a glass of flower-like, art nouveau proportions at each place setting. It would be full of champagne, and glittering at the bottom would be either a diamond bracelet, or a brace of diamond cufflinks. They are for you.
If I could, I would arrange the champagne toasts thusly: they would not be to your hostess, to your family, or to your loved ones. You would not toast this innocent North American holiday. You would, instead, toast yourselves.
Because words fail me.
Happy Thanksgiving, all.
