December 2

I'm not sure how anyone else feels about this, but if I was that blue car parked in the middle there, I'd be really irritated at the jerk who parked a motorcycle in there.  It's potentially going to be really hard to get out of that spot without knocking that bike over.

Happy December, everyone!  I am loving the unusually warm weather and sunshine today and think it's great that so many people are still able to commute by bicycle.  I'm sure the campus buses will get busier once the snow starts falling.  This bike caught my eye.  No post from yesterday as I was in bed for 14 hours fighting a migraine.  Boo.

Just me being silly in the car on my way to visit a friend in the Quad Cities who was home from Chicago for the holidays.

We went and saw New Moon.  The movie was better than the first, and it followed the book pretty well.  I'd give the acting about a B-.

A nice sentiment from the inside of a fortune cookie.

This outside pumpkin had some nibbles on it.  I thought the teeth marks were cute.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!! Hope you had a wonderful day and were able to spend it with family and friends. I'm thinking about all of my loved ones, both near and far this holiday. Spent some time at the in-laws today, and was amazed to learn that DH is an extremely good fussball player. I mean, like, freakishly good.

Also, I'm not into the whole Black Friday get-up-at-4-a.m.-so-I-can-get-a-$5-television-I-don't-need shopping thing, but if you're looking for something cool to buy, check out TOMS Shoes.  They send a pair of shoes to a kid who really needs them for every pair that you buy.  Pretty cool organization.  Check them out.

Tonight DH and I went to my folks' house for a Thanksgiving dinner, and had fun playing my new game Quelf and some Mexican train dominoes. That's my winning dominoes hand.

We also drank some homemade dandelion wine out of fun martini glasses that lit up, and Dad made a TurDuckHen this year. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Today we drove to the Quad Cities to visit our favorite baby! (See Jan 31). We had fun playing with her, and she had fun playing the drums on DH's head.

DH and I went for a walk to enjoy the crisp November air. Here are some self-portraits we took.

Why I hate tail-gaters, Part 1. So I went down to do laundry this morning (which is in the basement), and I have to go through the storm cellar door. Some awesome person that my landlady let park in her yard decided to dump their grill contents basically right on my porch in front of my door. Awesome.
