Nov. 26th, 2008 02:50 pmWe got a day off today as comp time for a training we endured before work started at the beginning of the school year. This is a big yay! of course, but I wish I could spend it in the studio rather than cooking and cleaning for tomorrow. Still 'tis good. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dancing_guru was giant help when she came over Sunday and doing a lot of pre-cooking and tidying up for me. This meant I can do some different things such as making the potatoes and turkey more interesting (due to inspiration from my lj f-list.)
As usual, the whole family won't be here *sigh*. HGS couldn't afford to come home, we'll get him home for Christmas by hook or crook tho. It probably bothers me when they are alone on a holiday more than it does them. The Guadalahara kids are going to visit the ruins of Teotihuacán on t-day and are excited about that. I would be too.
Having some "challenges" here. My oven isn't working right. Argh! What a terrible time to have trouble. I plan to get up several hours earlier to start the bird in the oven. If worse comes to worse I will fire up the old wood cook stove for the cooking.
I am sorry to report Amby's behavior has been terrible. On two occasions he shoved past me and ran outside, then wouldn't come again when called. He circles past me at a dead run with a goofy grin on his face. He comes close enough that I can't quite reach him, I can imagine him saying: "nyah, nyah". When a friend came over to talk pottery he made a complete dork out of himself; he also jumped on the counter and ruined a pie crust when I turned my back for just a second. All of this before 12:00 noon. This is the thanks I get for buying him a new toy today.
