jmc_bksIt all started with the birthday cake. Well, birthday brownies. It is acceptable to have cake for breakfast on your birthday, but I had none, so instead we had birthday brownies for breakfast.
The Biochemist gives the best gifts. Queer as Folk -- the UK version! And a t-shirt that reads "Republicans for Voldemort". And a collection of magnets for my cabinets. I have her a copy of a Barbapapa book I found online (we both loved those books as kids), Mapping the World of Harry Potter, a variety of funky socks, and a magnet that reads "You can't handle the truthiness!" We were both pleased, I think.
Then we headed up to Mom's where we ate Thanksgiving dinner. Regular dinner, heavy on the dessert, since relatives came over for dessert. Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, banana cream pie, pumpkin gooey butter cake, hummingbird cake.
This morning I participated in Black Friday for the first time ever. Now I can say I've done it. Meh. Not worth the effort, IMO.
On the book front, I've read Shana Abe's The Smoke Thief, which I loved.
