Poor Thanksgiving

Poor Thanksgiving.

Every year, it gets overshadowed by it's siblings. First comes Halloween, with it's costume sales and spookiness and candy. Then, the day after Halloween, people start in on Christmas, completely skipping over Thanksgiving. Poor Thanksgiving is just forgotten in a corner, while Christmas music goes on about the "hap-happiest time of the year".

Poor Thanksgiving. I always feel bad for it.



(On the plus side, we are getting off work at 4pm today. Not as early as I'd hoped, but still, early. Also, the breakroom is FULL of food.)

WHY DOES THIS EXIST

WHY DOES THIS RECIPE EXIST. WHO REALLY NEEDS TO EAT FRIED BUTTER. HOLY CRAP. EWWWWW






(I kind of want to make a batch and feed them to someone I don't particularly like, just to see what happens. I bet the recipient would have an explosive heart attack.)

Tesla is a funny kitty

So I'm taking my cat to my parents' house for Thanksgiving tomorrow. This will be interesting, as Tesla historically does not like other cats. As in, she sits in the window and waits for other cats to walk by so she can try to fight them through the window. And my parents have three cats. Of course, Tesla has been declawed (I didn't do it, Megan did, I don't like declawing kitties) and the three cats at the house have not, so Tesla should learn pretty quickly that fighting is a Bad Idea, and that Maulie is the Alpha Kitty. It will be interesting to see how she reacts to Mena, though. Mena is the dumb one who like to "play".

So I went to Petsmart tonight and got a kitty harness (since collars are not good for cats if you are planning on using a leash) and a matching leash (they have stars and moons on them! yay!) and a cardboard cat carrier to use for this trip.

I put the harness on her tonight.

Oh, hilarity.

She kind of just kept rolling over and over, trying to bite at the bit behind her back. And for a while she wouldn't stand up, she just belly-crawled everywhere. I should have taken video, but I was too busy laughing hysterically to do much else. But she is used to it now, and is walking around like normal except for occasional belly-crawls. I think I will take it off before bedtime so she can cuddle up comfortably under the blanket.

It is cold tonight! The temperature pretty much dropped like a rock starting at about 11am this morning. It is 41 degrees right now. It is loooooovely. I'm trying to decide if I want to crack open my window before I go to bed. I probably will. Yes, I am THAT person.

OH OH OH OH. AND. AAAAANNNND. And. AND. I bought. With my money. NEW MAGIC HEADPHONES. Except they were $20 cheaper in the store than online. Weird. ANYWAYS. They are SUPAR COMFY and TOTALLY AWESOME and I LOVE THEM. AAAAAAAAAND. I feel all kinds of cool because I totally budgeted for them. I kind of want to just pet them.

So I made a smores pie for Thanksgiving tomorrow. I can't wait to dig in to it. I made it with more marshmallow fluff than the first time I tried it, so it should be good and marshmallow-ey.

I should go to bed so I can get there early enough to spend lots of time with my daddeh (and I guess my mom and brother) before my daddeh leaves to go shoot things.
