Bahchoo humbug
While M and Zozer are getting over their colds, I’m sinking down into the snot-infested pit of headcold hell. Blech.

Ahead of schedule
The weekend was spent in a last-minute flurry of getting the display ready (M) and getting our train board and tree up (A). All is on schedule (dare I say, actually a bit ahead of schedule), and we’re even ahead on classwork so all is good.

Floored
Last night at dinner Zozer started acting funny. She wouldn’t eat, and just wanted to be held. After dinner we bundled her up, strapped her in the car and drove home. She fussed a bit on the way, and was just generally not herself. Upon arrival, we got her coat, hat and gloves off her, and when I picked her up to carry her to her room, she felt like a little furnace. Uh oh.

Better late than never
Since we’ve called her Doodlebug for years (before she was born, actually), Zozer was a Doodle Bug for Halloween…costume courtesy of Grammy (who rocks with a sewing machine more than anyone else I know).

Happy Thanksgiving
Yes, that’s her handprint. Yes, it appears she has only three fingers and a thumb. Judging from the other turkeys I saw, the pinky was supposed to be brown. Maybe she didn’t like brown. Maybe she was being proper and had her pinky raised. Maybe she knows the aesthetic rule that odd numbers are more visually pleasing than even, so she decided her turkey would have only three feathers instead of four.

And now you know
Zoe informed me today, with a very serious demeanor, that her big toes are toes, while all the other ones are piggies.

Not out of my gourd(s) yet
Shot some gourds today. Way back before Halloween, when we took Zozer to the pumpkin patch, I purchased four interesting gourds to photograph. They’ve pulled double duty by serving as fall decorations on our buffet in the dining room, and finally today they migrated to the darkroom.

All together now, “Awwwww!”
So as I was not drifting to sleep last night (I seem to be battling insomnia again these days), I was thinking about the blog and what I’ve posted lately, and I’ve decided I’ve become one of the most boring bloggers on the planet, due mainly to our having started grad school.

One down, one to go
Wahooo!
