Our Thanksgiving was very busy. I have to start on Wednesday. Our sink backed up and I called the manager who got the maintenence guy over here. He sucked all the yukky water out of the sink and poured some chemicals down it. Didn't work. So they called a plumber to come snake the drain. At around four o'clock, the plumber got here and started the snaking. Well, the snake never came out of the other end of the drain. The maintenence guy came in and said the pipes had rotted through and the only way to get to them was to jackhammer the floor in the hallway between the bedroom and the bathroom. Because the job is a long, involved mess, we have to move into another apartment. Oh, and can we be out by Monday?

Well, luckily the apartment is right across the breeze way from this one. That's the good thing. We told him no way can we be out by Monday, but maybe by next weekend. So yesterday morning, we took the cats and a few things over to the new place (because the maintenence guy had to come in here and run a pipe from the bedroom to the bathtub so the upstairs apartment can use their kitchen sink. It's draining in the bathtub.) so they could get settled. The kittens freaked out. They were really frightened (Kira-cat was all 'Shoot, across the hall? You all should try five states.') and were trying to hide everywhere. We brought our toiletries over and took our showers there. Then we took off for his folks' house. We had a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner and spent the day with his folks and his Granddad and Granddad's girlfriend. It was lovely. I received many compliments on my pies, but damn it, the friggin' pecan pie stuck to the pie dish!! WTF?? Is there some southern secret to making a pecan pie? C'mon, Southern f-listers-- Spill.

So, anyway, we came back and moved our bed and a tv and vcr into the "new" apartment. We had soup for supper and then popped in a Monty Python tape (no cable over there, which is why the computer is still here, heh) and after that we went to sleep. The kitties calmed down enough to come sleep in the bed with us--a first for the kittens. This morning they seem like they have gotten used to the place because they woke me up at six with their galloping around.

So, this weekend and next week will be spent moving. Luckily it's right across the hallway, because that means we can just walk a lot of it over without having to pack everything in boxes. Oh, and I forgot to say, we stopped by Wal-Mart last night on the way home (not venturing out today, my momma didn't raise no fools) and picked up a few things including a new desk. I'll take pictures as soon as we set it up. I told Hubby we have to run our coaxil cable out the window and into the other place and duct tape it to the sidewalk until the cable guy comes to transfer it. (Which I have to check their website to see if I can order that online.)--*called the cable company, they will be coming on Monday, yippee!)

So, that was our big holiday adventure. We're supposed to go meet his brother and family to ooh and ahh about their new house--which is in Lebanon and will be delivered to the property on Monday or Tuesday. Grr.

Chapter 10 of "The Binding..." was emailed to the betas tonight. Snape's revenge! W00T!! I love how it turned out. So Slytherin.

The next chapter will have much lemony goodness and Lucius Malfoy. But I think I'm going to detour a bit and work on the KA Christmas Challenge first...

Hubby and I spent a quiet day at home...we are going to spend Thanksgiving at his folk's house in the country and stay over Thursday and Friday nights...it'll be nice...

I miss my family in Ft. Lauderdale most at this time. The holidays with that gang of people are just like what you see on tv...and I miss that. Maybe next year I can go down for one or the other...

That's it for now, gonna go play a mindless video game and try to coerse my dear one into bed... with ulterior motives! Buwahahahahahaha!
