I loved the Velveteen Rabbit book. DD must have been awesome in that role.

I'm with you in feeling that we need to save jobs for bakers! And also in hating wall covered mirrors in gyms. I like having one in the house to consult on hemline, length of pants or shoe coordination, but that's a quick look. No workouts in front of them.

I love that your DSD and her fiancé enjoy spending time with you!

That's one of the problems with cleaning. You keep finding additional stuff to do! I was reading something the other day where it suggested emptying all your kitchen cabinets once a year, cleaning them and putting new liner in. Once a year!!!
I would do the trip on Thanksgiving too. Traditions are so important to keep as long as you can because you never know what the future will bring. But I bet you will need downtime the next day.

I SWEAR I posted this morning, but clearly I must not have pressed submit and it's long gone. I plead mush brain.
Guest-a-palooza came to a successful end! I think everyone had a nice time. Here is a picture with my Bff and our former boss. So nice to see her again, it's been too long! I wouldn't be mad if I lost another 10 pounds, but I am fine with where I am too.
I had planned to do nothing today, but realized I needed to get to Costco for my prescription (those of you who know Costco will get that this was a fatal error) as it's Thanksgiving week and I am busy tomorrow. So I drove 1.5 hours there to brave Sunday-before-Thanksgiving crowds and found the pharmacy isn't open Sundays. It never occurred to me!! I got the rest of my list, but I'm really mad about the fact I need to go back to get it or transfer it to another pharmacy who may not have it in time. Grrrrrrr. So mad at myself for not thinking to check.
I have tidied the house yet again as the designer comes tomorrow to bring the banquette bench for the family room and some other things. I also have a dentist appointment in the morning. Busy day.
Anyway, that's all for me! Take care!
My high school is doing Oliver! this week. Last year they did Mary Poppins. No flying though, we're not ready for that. When my DD was in high school she was in Beauty and the Beast, Hello Dolly, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. My favorite performance of hers was not a musical: The Velveteen Rabbit. She was the skinhorse. The director imagined the skin horse as a faded southern belle. DD was costumed in a mink coat and pearls. Hot on stage, but looked awesome.
Greetings all
Off and on rain today. Eggs for breakfast and then I went to the gym for my daily waddling. Up to 16 minutes. No grunters. It always strikes me as amusing that they have mirrored walls in gyms for the wight lifters. Yeah I know they need to observe their form but seriously. Of course I always hate seeing myself in those. Residue from observing myself in dressing room mirrors at fat stores.
Well DD, the Mikado in Scotland! What a great idea. I wonder if they could do Brigadoon in Kyoto. It could work. High school musicals are such a great thing. I wonder what schools are doing these days. Some of the themes of the classic ones seem sort of quaint these days. Like South Pacific. Fabulous music though. Love show tunes.
And DD sorry you have to spend so much of the holiday in the car but it will be worth it. I bet your mom indeed rises to the occasion.
Paula the comedy club sounds fun. Glad it was good.
Just got my assignment for thanksgiving dinner. Green beans. I am going to do them with toasted walnuts and bleu cheese. This time of year better use frozen. Fresh might be tough. And dinner rolls. No I am not going to bake my own. It would be wrong for me to take business from a bakery. .
So after the gym I made a CVS run for coffee and then to the studio. Place was busy. I made some new things and finished others. Came home to DH watching some sci fi movie. Last night I watched Dune 2 with him. He owes me big time. I hated it. But we also binge watched the second season of the Diplomat. Its terrific. Super surprise ending.
Facing the dinner conundrum. Might be time to liberate some space in the freezer.
