Don’t go to the grocery store the day before Thanksgiving, just don’t. I knew better, but we’re too busy the rest of week. Monday night hubby has class and we only have one car so me going is out of the question as I don’t know how to get to the college, which means dropping him off and picking him up is not an option, plus I was very ill Monday. At least here pretty soon I’ll be going to the college so I’m sure I’ll learn my way very quickly. 🙂 Yesterday night we had kittens to take to the vet and once we got home we had adult cats to worm to be on the safe side and by the time all that was done, we were tired. Tonight was the only night to go pick up the stuff we forgot. I was annoyed to find that there were no pie pumpkins for sale, none whatsoever, not even any normal pumpkins. *sigh* So, if the pumpkins from our garden aren’t any good anymore we’ll have to resort to making the pumpkin pie from canned pumkin. Less work, but not as neat. We have pumpkins that MIGHT still be good from our garden. They’re supposed to last 2-3 months, we’ll see how they are tomorrow. I also had to pick myself up some soup, cream of potato, mmmmm. Because I still can’t eat much for solid foods. This is going to be one dissapointing Thanksgiving if I can’t eat any stuffing and mashed potato’s let me tell you! I do think I’m actually getting better though, I’m still having some bad stomach cramps but the uh, other symptom that sends me running to the bathroom endlessly, seems to be subsiding. YAY! Anyway, the grocery store was a mad house, there were people everywhere and there were limited numbers of everything I needed for the pumpkin pie. Silly me, trying to buy pumpkin pie ingredients the day before Thanksgiving. God forbid I ever forget to do that on our regular grocery night again.

I’m still pondering the diary chapters. I like them, I think they’re neat, but I don’t like how they appear above my graphics on my front page. If I can’t figure out how to move them around on the page I’ll have to nix them. It makes the page look funny to me. Otherwise I think they’re nice to have so it makes it easier to find things. I’m forever looking for postings I’ve made in my OD, searching and searching and getting frustrated because I can’t find one or something.

We haven’t heard much on our equity loan. We were supposed to be notified if anything else was needed. The earliest the checks could have been mailed out is today so I hope they either got mailed out or will on Friday. If we get a call on Friday saying that they need something else there will be hell to pay. That will mean I have to pay bills I was waiting on the loan for. Since the credit cards are being paid off with the loan, and the checks are going to already be made out for the exact amount we owed at the time of the loan approval I’ve been waiting to pay them since it looked like we’d have it in time. I’ll have to make hubby call loan dude on Friday to check on it so I’ll know whether or not to pay some cards, I don’t want anything to be late.

I’m happy to be on vacation. Well, hubby is working behind me. He had some stuff he had to finish up. We took some time off next week, we’re not going back to work until Wednesday. Tuesday is my birthday and also the day Hordes of the Underdark is being released Woohoo 6 days!! So we took Monday and Tuesday off. 🙂

I guess that’s about it for now. If hubby isn’t going to be done anytime soon I might just have to go pop in a Southpark DVD. Or I could always load up Neverwinter and make him jealous! I could also be nice and go read quietly, I am reading a really good book right now, it’s “The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature” by Steven Pinker. I started reading it awhile back but got distracted. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in books of that sort. Anyway, I’m really going to go now. 🙂
