Long Weekend Wrap-Up

Tabby's first Thanksgiving was very enjoyable. She ate her turkey and squash with great zeal and really really enjoyed having the rapt attention of all of the people around her.

We had five lovely days of time off as a family and I think we made pretty good use of them. Honestly, a lot of it was used doing boring stuff at home, but we made it to the zoo with some friends on Saturday, which was fun, though I forgot the camera. Too bad, too, because we saw a joey who climbed back in his pouch. Very cool.

Miss Tabby has, regrettably, been a bit under the weather. She's had a little cold and is possibly teething (there's a LOT of drooling going on). This has caused her to be very clingy and easily upset and frustrated. She needed much more attention than usual which hindered the progress of our various projects, but of course, we were happy to give her what she needed. She seems to be doing a bit better.

Some stuff did get done, however …. * put away the clothes that don't fit Tabby and rotate in ones that do
* take a family Christmas picture AND design a card
* cut stencils for and paint the rest of the onesies and totebags
* clean out my freaking office (it's better anyhow)
* have a fun outing with Tabby & Matt and whomever
* make a Christmas shopping list
* decide which cookies to cook for the big weekend
* play a couple of video games that I haven't touched in months
* work on Tabby's scrapbook
* send a couple of packages
* go on a photography expedition
* organize some recipes
* get new tires for my car
* clean out Matt's car
* return Christmas dress to Children's place

We tried to get new tires for my car, but we ran out of time and we wanted to shop around a bit. Sears seemed to be charging quite a bit.
