Thanksgiving week, 2005. So far, off to a great start. The best prepared eggs bruschetta I've ever had at Lazy Daisy (eggs actually over medium, toast non-soggy, tasty winter watermelon). A lengthy and girl-filled afternoon in Santa Monica with Jo (i.e. Charlie and the Farmer's Market, boy talk, bra shopping) complete with matching green and penguin panties and bottle opener belts (what will they think of next?). Then the tastiest chocolate chocolate cupcake ever, coupled with an iced gingerbread latte (because I can't get enough of those this holiday season), and off to Rent, the movie. Then driving down to the South Bay with little sidestreet traffic, the four take-out favorites from Ayara, "Time Bandits," and heading to bed and waking up early all snuggly warm. All I need to do is kick Matt's ass some more at Super Monkey Ball and make sure the turkey turns out tender and juicy, and we're set for Thanksgiving. :)

I am thankful.
