It ain’t cool being no jive turkey so close to Thanksgiving

Jump to Comments

I went to the grocery store with Zoe this morning & it was practically empty. Note to self: grocery shopping after Thanksgiving = awesome.

Then we went to Target b/c they were having a Hamilton Beach toaster for $15 (regular retail $30) and it was in-store-only. And there was no crowd at Target! I mean, there was a regular Saturday crowd but by the time we left, cars were parked well beyond ours. And I got my toaster. “Black Friday” shopping on Saturday = no crowds, but same deals. Yay!

Kids played outside, sledding & such, this afternoon. Zoe decided that eating icicles is as much fun as eating snow.

The kids’ new favorite movie is Trading Places. We watched it on TV the other day & they were laughing. So we held back to see if they’d quit laughing. No chance. They were falling out of their chairs during the train scene. Now we just say, “Beef jahky?” and they laugh.

Tonight’s holiday dance segment was kick-started by “I Have a Little Dreidel” (Barenaked Ladies):

I’m putting our Xmas music on the iTunes. I can’t find the CD for Rudolph but I have the case. Naturally Zoe’s crazy for Rudolph now. She makes me explain to her why Santa & Donner are such pricks. Well that’s not her term but it’s the sentiment. anyway, if you have any suggestions for your fave Christmas or other holiday music, feel free to comment. I’m looking for suggestions. We usually get a new album a year.

Hawk’s feeling much better. Tonight was his 20th high school reunion. We were naturally disappointed that we couldn’t go but S will report the “trainwreckiness” of the event for us. And most of the people we’d be talking to know why we weren’t going. Hawk’s theory is that he got sick b/c he’d just written the check for the reunion reservation.

Hawk’s PICC line is kind of odd. The weight of it is kind of loosening the dressing, which won’t be changed until Monday. So he’s walking around with his arm slightly up. He says, “You know who I remind me of? Otter.” All he needed was a laurel wreath and a toga & the image would have been complete.

Slight disagreement between Zoe & Holden tonight involved the following declaration from me: “First we’ll watch Iron Man, then Hulk. Is that okay?” It was. And now that I’ve seen Wall-E approximately 27 times, I can say that Ratatouille is still m fave Pixar movie. Zoe’s is Wall-E, Holden’s is Cars & Hawk’s is The Incredibles. What’s yours?

I think that’s all the little stuff I have right now. I’m sure I’ll come up with something right after I post this.
