We spent the long weekend w/metahacker's mom, canuckmum, and do thanksgiving (observed) plus birthday stuff for multiple people w/his family.

Was a very busy weekend, unfortunately involving giving my cold to both metahacker and galaneia, the latter of whom is now miserable.

I was quite nervous about my first thanksgiving with his family. It went well, though. Long day. Very long day! But there were tasty foods (I now want a recipe for sweet potato pie, even though I will probably fail to ever make it. It was so tasty!), many conversations and helping with necessary big groups of people chores, and a large variety of presents. Including for me, to my surprise. (to be fair, i did have a birthday recently) I got a broomstick skirt from his mom (I have a fair number of said, so if that was a guess, it was an _excellent_ guess), a couple pieces of nifty art from metahacker (I did know I was getting something unclear and possibly card-like from him), and a lovely knit lap blanket from galaneia which I must post pictures of. Although I'm not sure the colors will photograph well.

I'm really impressed with the sneakiness with which she got me to pick a pattern for it! Neat viney plant growing pattern thing! Sneaky girl is sneaky!

I did notice she was knitting a bunch, but she knits a bunch anyway. And I did notice that she wanted to finish something in time for gift giving, and she jumped a few times when I came into a room unexpectedly, but at no point did I ever more than briefly wonder why. Nor did I have any clue what she was making.

Ok, yes, I'm perhaps a bit oblivious. :)

Good thanksgiving. People are still clearly a bit baffled by the whole situation, but they are also clearly trying to actually get to know me. Which is good. :)
