I'm Supposed to Tell You What I'm Thankful For...

Today is the big Turkey Day. I just woke up, had an argument with The Husband, and am getting ready for work. Boo hoo, I know, but it's not so bad because:

I am thankful I have a job,
I am thankful my mother loves me and the hubs enough to postpone Thanksgiving to Friday,
I am thankful that The In-Laws love us enough to postpone dinner to Saturday.

I am thankful for my husband and his willingness and patience whilst putting up with my batshit crazy self, and if I were him, I would be thankful for my patience with his body odor.

There it is. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday :)

Kiwi (İske) Wednesday

Nap time (and the ever watchful kitty):

Plans

Plans for The Future:
This semester The Husband applied to many jobs in aerospace and was unable to find employment. Can we blame the economy? Maybe. Though it doesn't really matter, seeing as we will stay in College Station through at least May. He will continue his education and continue to collect his stipend. I will continue working at The Bar. And so our limbo extends for another 6 months. I've begun to decorate our apartment. Take that, limbo.

Soon The Husband will apply to doctorate programs in other states. To spice it up a bit, I suppose. He says something about educational inbreeding but all I hear is "spice." I like spice. Speaking of spice...

Plans for The Near Future:
Thanksgiving! It's COMING. We will drive to Dallas for dinner at my mother's on Friday, dinner at his parents' on Saturday. SO MUCH EATING. I'm bringing my stretchy pants, and that's all I'm going to say about that.

For Christmas we're going to Michigan for 2 1/2 weeks. We'll leave MI on January 5, my grandmother's EIGHTIETH birthday! Insanity. I don't know how we'll celebrate, but don't clowns and strippers sound appropriate? But not clown strippers, that just sounds fucking terrifying.

I'm not sure how I'll keep everything updated during the holidays, but I'm sure going to try. I can probably get away with many posts of the animals dressed in embarrassing holiday attire. Yes.

Texas Fall

Further proof of Texas autumn.

Taken at an until-recently-completely-unknown-park within 5 minutes walking distance from our house. Nice.
