COR BLIMEY!
Sorry, I've been playing a lot of Dragon Quest VIII the past few days. :D
Thanksgiving went well. We even had people over that evening for Rummikub, which Bryon adores. Friday was a pleasantly relaxing day off, and also involved Rummikub... got to see Kim and Sara, who I don't get to see very often, as well. (Would have been a COMPLETELY fun evening had I not uncharacteristically opened my big mouth and started a conversation down the wrong path...)
Anyway, on Saturday, Bryon, his parents and I visited the Curtiss Museum to see their dollhouses and miniatures exhibit. There was a vendor show that day too, and they also had a special rate for museum admission. It was pretty interesting. I haven't been there for several years. Saturday evening was Jesse's birthday party at Danielle's house. We had a fantastic time—I think we were there until 3 a.m.—and I got to see Kansass (with her marvelous baby news) and Meisha and Meisha's husband Dave, who introduced me to the wonders of the Nintendo DS Lite through the hospital game Trauma Center: Under the Knife (which I swear, is the most fun you can have with a pancreatic tumor!). I was very impressed. The party was a great success. We played DDR (and DS), watched the Magic faceoff between Bryon and Dave, and Bryon and Jesse... ate lots of good food, chatted a lot... it was just great. :D
After that it was a pretty quiet weekend. Bryon's mother had two extra tickets for Hairspray at the theater, and asked if I wanted to go. Not only did my mother and I go and have a fun time, but Bryon's mom gave me the tickets for my birthday! Talk about a nice gift!!
Now I'm just sort of stumbling through the rest of the week, trying to get things done at work and keep on top of everything at home.
Feline update: I ordered some SoftPaws for Bishop (in blue, of course)—little vinyl claw caps to keep him from scratching the heck out of everything. Ripley doesn't need them, because he only scratches on the appropriate toys, etc. Supposedly Bishop won't even know they're there... we'll see how it goes. I hope it works out well. He lovvvvvvvvves to scratch on things, to the detriment of various household items.
I leave you with something amusing that D showed me today:
Cat Haiku (the "elevator-butt" and "Humans are strange" ones especially apply to my cats...)
