stephanie is: 
sleepy…
today was a nice day…
i had set my alarm for 8 am but we woke up before then. i stayed in bed until 8:30 watching some of the today show, though. our goal was to clean and cook for our thanksgiving feast early evening.
i got all our donation items moved into the living room downstairs (a lot were in the foyer and there was a huge dresser we had to carry down the stairs. once the foyer was clear i swept and mopped it. danny vacuumed and steam cleaned the bottom two levels, and i cleaned banisters and the powder room, then got boxes i had packed for storage put away. the girls got their baths around 11 am. they were stinky and china was in need of a “butt cut”. i showered after i was done since i get all covered in clipped dog hair. we stopped for sandwiches with danny’s old friend 
lgdizko. afterwards, danny worked on prepping a lot of his dishes (like delicious sweet potatoes and green bean casserole). i swept and mopped the kitchen and got the table set for dinner. i used my first ever table cloth! how adult! i was ahead of schedule on my cleaning by that point, so i did some more holiday decorating. i got the rest of the banister decorated with pine garland, put up my little xmas window paintings, and decorated the french doors (the outside part).
right around 4 pm, our other guests, magnetic99 and his lovely wife, arrived. they brought us beautiful flowers and several dishes for our feast.
hopefully, everyone had a good time, especially since magnetic99 and his wife had not met anyone there but me yet. i think they are great people and they make conversations fun and interesting. so nice to actually get to *talk* to friends instead of shouting and nodding in a loud club!
magnetic99 took a lot of pictures that i am looking forward to stealing. i only took these 4…

danny and lgdizko are busy playing video games together now. i am thinking it might be a nice night to pop some popcorn and watch a netflix in bed. i am too scared to go to any of the holiday sales tomorrow. i think i’ll stay in to braid my hair and do computer work. i might venture out for my first present shopping of the season on saturday. four-day weekend! woo!
i hope everyone had as nice a thanksgiving as i did!
