update: thankgiving and what not...

as I sit here on the 26th, in my kitchen, eating some rotisserie chicken, I think back on the day I just spent with the Strong family for Thanksgiving. it was a really good thanksgiving with good food and friends, I just wish I could have been awake the entire time to share with it even more, but I fell asleep and woke up just in time to go to work (as if  really enjoy doing it...) so I'll tell this in Blog until I get to their house again: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! if it hadn't have been for that family, I would have either shared thanksgiving with someone else or probably have shared it with myself by eating rotisserie chicken just before I walked outside to get to work.

although... it IS really good chicken... I'll have another slice

okay, I'm back.

I just got tagged on Facebook with some old baby pictures of me and (as always) "Ferrous" and, in a few of them, "Chappy". it kinds funny how there is never a lone picture of any one of us, really, we all just kind of stuck together as children.
well, I gotta catch a bus to eventually go to my last night of stocking before I move to working days at the same store. less hours, but at least I'm living.

so long and remember: totus tuus ego sum sancta maria santissimi dei!

oh, goodness gracious...

so. I went and bought a camping cot today.

I'll let my sister explain this one:

go to HERE to find out how badly I fail at measurment.

in my defense, I wanted to get a camping cot that would not leave body parts hanging off. including my feet.

well, I guess I don't have to worry about that! next step: finding some way to use the rest of the space I have... any suggestions?

post scriptum: this thing weighed almost 40-45 lbs (by my estimate) definitely the sort of thing to take on a hiking trip, right?

...right?

OK, fine! FINE be that way!!!
