Oop. I had a little bookstore accident. I went in looking for an Anne Perry book, and they didn’t have it, so I ended up with three Ian Rankin books and a … book by somebody else. And oh, yeah: a book of ice cream recipes. Now, this was all at the used bookstore and it was all on credit and we still have over $200 worth of credit, so it was hardly an accident at all! I’ve just caused all my friends to edge away from me nervously by…
conspiracy!
I am CONSPIRED against! Conspired against by ANGIE and EMILY and SARAH and by my VERY OWN HUSBAND! I can’t put it better than they did, though: Sarah: See, we’ve received advance notice that there will be a large gathering in the south of the state known as California, sometime early in February.

pleasant evening!
Wow, what a very pleasant evening. Ted cooked the ridiculous 19 pound turkey, and stuffing (two sorts, his mom’s and my mom’s) and greenbean casserole and corn on the cob and mashed potatoes, and we had 8 people over for dinner, and we ate ourselves silly. And I got to talk to *girls*! Three of them! One was Mom, whom I often talk to, but two were NEW girls! Robin, who looks and sounds remarkably like Tamago, and Jessica, who doesn’t. :) They both cross-country ski, apparently, so Jessica and…
