flipping SNOW?!!!!!
Oh for goodness sakes! The weather has once again *intruded* on my plans - what's new, right?
Aaron took the bus from Presque Isle this morning - he is at his grandfather's house now.
It's incredible, when the kid lived at home, all we did was argue and get at each other's throats - now that he's not living at home, a simple phone call can run on for a good 45 minutes! And, I am going to see him when Kev picks him up tomorrow. But, he seems to WANT to talk whenever he phones - it's kinda nice. (Well, not 'kinda', it's damned nice).
My husband once told me that I didn't have to worry about Aaron and I having a troubled relationship forever, because "little boys always need their mothers". This was in response to the fact that I confided in Kevin that I was afraid that Aaron and I would never get along.
In any case, I am really glad that he is coming home for Turkey Day - it will be good to have the whole family together again. I do miss the kid.
I finished up my shopping for Thanksgiving dinner earlier, I needed.....
Eggs for deviled-eggs (they are Aaron's favorite)
All the 'fixings' for a green-bean-casserole
A gallon of milk
A jar of sweet gherkins (to replace the one that I ate the other night)
A Sara Lee pumpkin pie
Whipped cream for said pie
A block of mild cheddar cheese (allegedly for a snack on Turkey Day, but I doubt it will make it that long
and
Two 3-liters of soda (orange and fruit punch)
I also got a little container of Egg Nog, but I drank it too fast and it made me sick. But damn, it does go down so frickin smoothe! You'd think I would learn by now, but I haven't.
My NaNoWriMo sweatshirt hasn't come in the mail yet - boogar snot. Maybe tomorrow - it's so cold though, it sure would be nice to have it right now.
I did get my USB bracelet - it's a cool concept, and I keep my NaNovel on it, but I don't like to wear it, it's too *clunky*. I also picked up my book (with it's new cover) yesterday
to the page that the book is on.
I am also signing up for a course to get my creative writing certification next month - it's a special, $50 - (49.99) but it adds to my credentials, and it will keep me busy until I can get into an affordable MFA program. I guess I forgot to mention that this is what I want to do - pursue an MFA in creative writing.
Okay, my feet are cold, I need to go put on slipper/socks and get that frickin fire going - I've been battling with the stupid thing all day. My frustration limit is right about at the full-line right now. Blrrrgh.....
