Charlie Brown is TONIGHT!

I love/hate the Charlie Brown specials. We'll be watching the Tgiving one tonight in my house fersere.

I love this picture. Chef T saved me in the grocery store the other day. Jack loves those little round individually-wrapped cheeses, but only the pansy flavors like cheddar and American. Of course the store is out and I'm digging through all this stuff w/ which I'm totally unfamiliar. Never fear! I just put in a call to Tracie, who had two minutes to tell me to go pick out cookie cutters and cheese he likes. Genius! So here is Jack having a very entertaining dinner of turkey cold cuts and cheddar slices. I wonder what else I can use those for...

Tomorrow we head to Austin for Tgiving and we are all really excited about it! We are blowing off grandma and great-grandma and staying in a hotel on Town Lake. Suck it, relatives! The hotel has hot breakfast for Mike and an elevator for Jack and a second room in the suit for me to read in all night peacefully!

We are watching our pennies for this hopefully-soon trip to Mexico so this is our BIG DEAL trip.

That Michael Connelly book in the background of Jack's pic is my Dad's bday present. He's so wierd. I tried to get him that new biography of the Thames or the latest HW Brands and he's all "hmmmmm--I think I just want the new Michael Connelly before it's in paperback." I can't wait to get old enough to stop feeling the pressure to improve thyself!
