Thanksgiving...etc

Ok...so I will in fact be "escorting" Mommie DREAREST (haha) to Super Sib #2's for the holiday afterall...cannot wait! Ok...maybe I can just a little.
We are looking forward to it though. It will be a nice change of pace, and I am in charge of bringing the "apps" and have made some bitchin scrabble, picked up nice cheese, crackers, artichoke dip ingreds., and some shrimp....I think some salmon may be in the offing as well...oh, and a bottle of bubbly too! YUM

Kyle got his report card yesterday...Honors. Good thing...he was in the dog house til I saw it...was failing two classes at the time of parent conferences only a few weeks ago. He pulled himself out of that hole, but fell into a couple others by not turning work in and thus dragged a couple grades down lower than they were back then....oh well, all in all a good card. Needs to get the Spanish grade back up though!
He went to a semi-formal with his new girlfriend...had a nice time I guess(?) He seemed to have had anyhow. Can't wait to meet this young lady soon.

I am getting a new very "hi tech" brace this week (hopefully) for my leg. The boot is irritating the wound and so I saw some folks at Hangar Orthotics who fitted me for something else...it should be here Monday...it will wrap around my shin but not actually touch the scar, yet still keep my foot at the neutral position while I am wearing it. I am not exactly sure how it works or will look...the Dr. couldn't even describe it...just said it was pretty specialized and made of black chromium steel....should be more comfortable than this damn thing. Maybe I can even wear pants again...not just sweat pants!!! THAT would be nice! I have to wear an open backed shoe or at sandal in it I guess as it won't have a foot bed like the boot does...Like I said, I cannot even imagine what it will be like, but I will see soon. Like to have it before heading to Deed's.

Ok...dinner needs fixin as it just doesn't get done on its own...or by any rats in the kitchen...I just saw Ratatouille this morning....Cute!!

Soooo, have fun with all of that!
Ear plugs work well! So do magazines, just flip through them!
Course you cant do that while you're driving.

Sorry about Kyle and the BB thing. Ty still swears this is his last year. Breaks his fathers heart.
