We just got home from dinner. A family in the church adopted us and we had a great time with their daughters, their husbands, and the extended family that showed up. I made my family’s orzo recipe and got rave reviews and requests for it. After dinner, we took a walk through the snowy woods and played pool and talked. It was great and I came home to two lovey, sleepy kitties.

To all y’all in the U.S. and abroad: Happy Thanksgiving!

My gingerbread cat is a bit angry with me. First, I chopped 8 inches off of my hair this morning (and I will post pics when I get them back on Sunday — I promise) and then I had Jon take a picture of both of us… WITH THE FLASH!!!!!! He sulked under the bed for the rest of the day.

After Jon left this morning, I went for a walk around the neighborhood and took pictures of the snow before it melted. We went from a marshmellow world this morning to a melted world this afternoon and was perched on the chair waiting for me, so I got some very nice pictures of him — he is such a photogenic beast.

This evening was the community Thanksgiving service. I was standing around before the service and got impressed into carrying the banner for St. Paul’s. This banner itself is about 6 feet long (vertically) and the pole adds another 3-4 feet. I’m all of… 5’1″ on a good day. I did manage to maneuver OK and though I think I almost gave Bill a heart attack, I did pretty well. It was a nice service and the music was all stuff I knew.

Tomorrow
Tomorrow I have to assemble the pasta salad that we’re bringing to dinner. And…. I GET TO SLEEP IN!!!!!!!

Meanwhile… Robin Williams is on Whose Line!

I was getting a little too impatient about waiting until Advent actually starts to open up my blog so… I announce the grand opening of Magnificat, a weblog which will now house my thoughts and such. It will be done in Greymatter until I learn how to manipulate MT a bit better.

The color scheme is blues and purples and candles because this is an Advent layout. Advent is the liturgical season that happens during the 4 weeks preceding Christmas. It is a time of preparation for the birth of Christ and is probably my favorite liturgical season. So… enjoy the layout and I’ll start posting some more here later!

Oh yes… I have a re-direct script (muchos gracias Krissy) at /blog, so if you are coming there off of that link, please update your links. Thanks!
