Evangelist

One of Daniel’s co-workers took my advice to start reading The Name of the Wind, and he TOTALLY LOVED IT. He sped through it and then waited for days to borrow The Wise Man’s Fear from us so he could keep going.

He said he was going to spend all of Thanksgiving reading it. I am so pleased! It really seemed like something he’d enjoy so I’m glad it worked out.

Imagine me running my hands together and cackling – another convert to the Kingkiller fandom!

Morningtime

This morning, I woke up and peeked at the clock. 6:58. Too early for me. I closed my eyes, guessing that Wesley would probably sleep for another 30 or 40 minutes.

At 7:00 I thought, ugh, I’m not going to fall back asleep, may as well check my email. I had thirty glorious seconds to myself before Wesley appeared before me.

WHYYYY

He only ever gets up early on the days where I should be able to have a little bit of quiet time in the mornings. Like, if I were to get up early to get something done, that’s the day he’d manage to not sleep in. The days where I have to leave for work on time? I’m waking him up at 8:03.

Then he always asks “Is it morningtime?” Which, yes, technically it is. But I just wanted a few minutes to check my email and Twitter without a toy train whistle being volume-tested by my face!

I don’t know. Mostly it’s just baffling that I can be clomping around the house getting ready for work and he’ll sleep through that, but heaven forbid he sleep through my quiet unlocking of my phone.

Friendsgiving

Our friends host a Thanksgiving dinner every year, and this year we volunteered to bring stuffing and a pumpkin pie.

Mostly I volunteered the stuffing because I love boxed stuffing mix! Everybody tries to get all fancy with celery and whatnot and I’m just not into it.

Our pumpkin pie recipe is actually vegan, but if I say that then it sounds weird. The main difference is that instead of using eggs as the base, it uses silken tofu. I’ve served it to my very meat-and-potatoes family before and they totally couldn’t tell it was made from tofu – it’s really good.
