In a few days, we in the U.S. will be getting together with family and friends, or if you’re like me, will be celebrating with a meal for one (as I write this, I only need the game hen because I have everything else, including dessert) and calling family because you have to be at work on Friday and the kinfolk are just a little too far away for a quick trip. But don’t feel sorry for me; if I get in a fight with someone in the family, I can just hang up. Being further away when the parties involved have sharp, pointy objects at their disposal is safer for everyone.

I’m gonna be a killjoy here … remember, those foods are too rich for your puppers and kittehs, so it’s best not to give in.
They will make you feel guilty, though. Very guilty.

One of the reasons I had part of what I needed delivered Saturday (and partly because I forgot it last week). But I’ll still have to go to the store today. Pray for me.

I have to get in as much practice as I can. Don’t want to pull a muscle.
