It won't die on my watch

Don't worry Lauren, I'm watering the tree. Just in case you don't believe me, this is for you:

I guess I would hallucinate tootsie rolls too

Thanksgiving: movies, key lime pie, apple cider, Chinese buffets and Mom getting a Gmail account. Family, food, food, more food and Mom trying to get the mouse to work. What more could you want for Thanksgiving?

P.S. the Red Panda Buffet has sushi! All you can eat sushi. Now true, its not great sushi but its all you can eat.

Have you noticed nobody really talks to each other at buffets? Its more of a "Wow, this is really good"; "I'm going to get more of this"; "Aww, its all gone, are they going to put more out?"; "Oh, this is not so good, don't get that"; "Hey, where did you get that?"; "I'm so full, I'll just eat this last thing"; "Where is the dessert?".

The whole meal you are either getting up to get more food, thinking about what you are going to get next, deciding if what you are eating is good enough to get again, worrying if it'll be gone before you get up again or trying to figure out how to get the most food in the least trips. Basically there's not much room to think about the people you're eating with. Its really all about you and the food.

Who's ready for Christmas?

Last week, with Chipper's help; we went across the street, and over the fence, and through the woods, and over the creek, and watched out for the campus police, and cut down our Christmas tree! P.S. I stole these photos from your blog LoBo, so if they look familiar....It turned out to be a little bigger than it looked in the woods, but Janoodle trimmed it up nicely. It only looks slightly pregnant from a certain angle, but that's appropriate considering the room it's in. We do call it the Living Womb after all.

Pardon Me (I Didn't Knit That for You)

Hahahhah! So ridiculous....

Aquariums ARE pretty important

My new camera came! I haven't had one since running down Main street on Halloween night. Its a long story...

I bought a Canon SD790 thanks to Nantan's recommendation. Same price range as my old camera but the photos are ten times better! I still don't know how to use 99.9% of the features but I'll work on that. The camera manual is over 200 pages long. I've had textbooks shorter than that.The camera maker must have thought aquariums were pretty important since they included a mode just to take photos of aquariums. Not underwater, there's a mode for that too; this mode is just for aquariums. Good thing I have an aquarium, hmmm?

There's one in every family

Last night we found out Mowgli is even weirder than we thought, or rather Kristin did.

Its never dull when you're giving people drugs

I spoke with an elderly couple today and this particular couple had gotten married many years ago when they were young. They then got divorced rather quickly and married other people. Thirty years later both their spouses died and they got back together! There they sat today, back together and happy as Mowgli eating pumpkin bread. Neither of them could stop giggling long enough for me to do any kind of teaching.
