<p>Greetings, all.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Go go <strong>Philly Peeps</strong>! Fast Feet to you all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Bob</strong> - that is great news to hear of your Mom. Hope today has been nice and quiet and relaxing for her!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>KJ</strong> - Ooh, if you can, join us for the HM event! I mean - yeah, it's summer, and yeah we know it's not an event to run for time... but right now, there are several of us chicas who have committed to attending. I think we are going to have a GREAT time. Consider it a girls' weekend, with a HM thrown in for good measure!

<p>No running for me today. I'd planned on it, but I haven't been home long and I'm kinda beat. Had a good day though. Ran some errands. Scored (with store discount + Kolh's charge discount) a pair of my favorite Levis jeans for $40, and then met up with some friends of mine from when I was working at an arcade during my college years. We had a blast.

<p>I am thinking ahead for turkey day. I'm in the HM that morning. Dad is in South Georgia, and mom will be working that day, probably 2nd shift as usual. I'm thinking of actually cooking a few very minor (easy) things, and after the HM (and cleaning up of course), dropping by her house with a care package with a plate or two of food that she can nuke later. She won't even know until she gets back home and finds a note on the fridge with instructions.<br><br>
Even if she has some turkey for dinner at 11:30 at night, it counts right? Then I remembered my lack of experience in the kitchen. eep! Nonetheless - this shall be an adventure.

If it works out - cool. If not, well, she has no idea I'm doing this, so no harm done there, I suppose.

<p>Speaking of food, the beasties are fibbing to me and telling me that it is suppertime. They're about 45 minutes early, but I think I'm going to feed them now anyway.
