It’s been a crazy few days. Amandapants came back from her trip, only to find that her pissed off kitties pissed on her pillows. We spent the next few hours doing laundry. Then we went to dinner. It didn’t sit well with her, but she said she enjoyed the place :) I felt bad.

Lex, due to come to help me with the sewing machine again on Saturday, slept till 4 on , when she finally woke up, she threw (and I giggle at that image) the kids in the pimpmobile, and hauled ass down here. Meanwhile, Amandapants finished laundry. But on Saturday I think we finally solidified the menu for Thanksgiving. Lex and Amanda are working around the menu with me. This whole thing is  big deal to me. I live to entertain. Besides, D and I went to his familys’ house every year, and then we hung out with friends. This time around,  we are in a new city without that circle we used to have. It feels good to have the family here. My only concern is that my brother in law is allerigc to cats. I’m going to be vaccuuming the shit out of my house.

I printed out my novel (I’m working on it) and Amanda was here.

“Is that it?”

“What?”

“Your novel?”

“Yeah, why?”

“I just got goosebumps”

It’s hard to think about everything I need to do to this thing, but I’m still working on it.

Lex decided against going to Colorado for Xxxxmas. What does that mean? We are heading up to Tacoma (with Amanda in tow) to do the HappyJesusDay with them. Hopefully my family will come, at least my Mom. She’s hoping papasan will show up, but I doubt he will if he knows I’m going to be there. Then again, he may surprise me, because he loves his grandson more than almost anyone. I’m not sweating it though. I’ll be happy to be near the fam again.

D and I may have some great news in the coming weeks. Cross your fingers and your toes for us. :)

My nephews played Ratchet and Clank on my PS3. I have an egg timer. They can only play for an hour, but let me tell you, they had a good-ass time with that hour.

It  stopped raining. After I make dinner, I think I am due for a good run.

Now, It’s time to make salsa!
