wow. the holidaze

it was a busy little break, yes it was. starting the saturday before Thanksgiving, i began the great move to the country. the boys and i had beds set up, a washer and dryer in place and a couch and a piano and even some food in the house, all thanks to the pick-ups&muscle brigade. there were many laughs, only a few scrapes, and overall everyone is pretty happy.

the kittens have joined us in the country and gabriel is joining his "cousins" over a different mountain altogether for a bit. all in all, i think the relocation is for the best.

Over the holiday itself, the boys and i cooked all sorts of weird but wonderful things, beginning with cookies and ending with a double-layer orange cake with cream cheese frosting and tangerine wedges for decoration. While not moving or playing or cooking, i managed to read quite a bit. I finished up Lamb and returned it to Jffn. Man, it is on the Highly Recommended list. Then i delved into some Terry Pratchett that had been lying around: The Amazing Maurice and His Highly Educated Rodents (which Tiger read the day after i finished with it), The Colour of Magic, and The Light Fantastic. I'm just now starting Sourcery, finishing up the Rincewind set. I'm in love with the Luggage.
