I feel sheepish about my previous post, which showed what was clearly a case of poopy pants on my part. I thought about changing it or taking it down, but then I decided I should be letting my true colors show - all of them. And sometimes I'm tired and discouraged. BUT!! Let it be known that, on this day of giving thanks, I have a very full life. It is bursting with people who love me and whom I love.
On my birthday I heard from kajillions of loved-ones, and I felt it. I got really thoughtful gifts that I've arranged on the dining table and that I'm looking at right now. I got a hilarious and vulgar e-card from AmyW. I got to hold a beautiful newborn. I had delicious posole soup. And, again, it was heaven to hang out with my family.
Today we were able to go to Woodworker's parents' house despite the icky weather. I didn't have to lift a finger. Thanksgiving dinner was delicious, relaxed, delightful. Buckaroo even took a little nap there. And he was very cuddly with his grandparents.
I'm eating apple pie right now.
I'm reading "The Agony and the Ecstacy" these days. I don't know why this didn't happen sooner. I find it gripping, in an art historical kind of way. Its replete with witty Florentine aphorisms, such as "God bends the back to the burden." Ahhhnnnn.
My husband finally wore the argyle sweater I got him for Christmas last year. Incredible. Yay.
I just finished the pie. Like, the pie pan is empty. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love, Nellie
