Noodly appendages!

valarltdOr not.
Three of us are covered in flour, but we have NOODLES! they're drying now, and will be sliced tomorrow to dry more for Thanksgiving.
I'm getting a shopping list around for the pies
Pumpkin and chocolate truffle, maybe pecan and eggnog
Bun's boytoy, Pele (not his real name), is joining us. Given a choice between thanksgiving with a father who dislikes him and a 18 year old stepmom who can't cook, and one with 4 good cooks and at least 6 people who like him (and two who are looking forward to meeting him)... well, he made the obvious choice.
We're pleased to have him along. He's a great kid.
Dad and my sister,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jlm122, are coming down tomorrow. I have to work. Then I work on Friday.
Work is really stinging us on the pay this year
I drive Tues and Wed of Christmas week, then Tues/Wed of New Year's week (or would if I weren't having vacation). That's 2 days without pay, and one with $40 holiday pay.
On my check, that's $326 net instead of 715. My deductions are $124.50, before taxes. UGH!
Shopped tonight. Glass etching creme is more expensive than expected. $12 for 3 oz. Got pots for my plants and a glass mermaid who needs a jump ring to fit on the satin cord (she's mine). Also used the Circuit City card for a camcorder... I have a brilliant idea for a book trailer for Eight Days Ablaze.

We...were underwhelmed. There's no need to entangle us in your Southern Gothic, white male privilege. He needs to be bottled and the label Absolut Asshat put on him.
The son is delightful. He's smart, cute, funny, caring and almost exactly what I would pick for Bun. The mother is great. So his mom and I let the kids see each other at our place or hers, and it's working out well.
