Happy Windsday, Piglet.

I sure do need a lot of sleep.  And I still have bags under my eyes.  Going to go to bed early tonight.

I had plans for this evening, but they didn't become realities.  We did some Thanksgiving planning instead.  So many people are coming!  I'm really combining two Thanksgivings: my grandmother's, and Josh's mom's.  I think it is going to be great!

Still love my library.  I wish I had more free time.  I kind of want to re-organize it.

We've had some weather lately.  We had a 100 Acre Wood Windsday last week. Some flashing blew off the house, and something happened to our garage door, too.  Bub is coming on Saturday to help Josh fix it.  I hear there might be snow this week.  Sadly, the are predicting rain on Thanksgiving.

Last weekend, I had a super great day.  We had lunch with friends at The Fountain On Locust, and I had the Royale and pickle soup.  I never would have ordered pickle soup on my own.  The waitress recommended it.  It was amazing, while still tasting pickley.  Strange and incredible.  Everything was.  The kids had fountain sodas:  Abbie chocolate and blueberry for Grant.  We saw an IMAX movie at the Science Center, and I got to see Grant playing with some of his fiends from JET.  After the Science Center we went to The London Tea Room.  My jasmine tea was there.  I drank a pot of it.

It was a wonderful day.

My hands are so cold.

Cross your fingers that none of us get sick before Thanksgiving!

Keeping On.

I guess you could say that things are rocky right now.  I thought we were all adjusted, but Grant is having a rough couple of months.  I don't want to get into it, but if you see giant green clouds of discontent out your window, there is a chance they came from my house.

We are all in health, though.  Josh still likes his job.  Abbie loves the new school.  The dogs are great. 

I think other than Grant, I'm doing well.  But that is a little too close to home, and has affected me greatly.  

We are having Thanksgiving this year, and I've been using the planning as some stress relief (and a little bit of taiko).  But Josh just pulled in all the junk from the garage, so the house feels claustrophobic, and I am tense here.

The good news is that we are definitely going on our long anticipated trip to Orlando this January.  Yay!

I'm still reading.  Recently, I read Girl Waits With Gun, The Thirteenth Tale, Island of the Sequined Love Nun, and Girl On The Train.  I'm currently reading The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde.  Love him.

And you.  Muah.
