I hope that you've all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend; I've enjoyed my trip to the chilly Northeast, but the food on Thanksgiving wasn't up to my Southern standards. My homemade cranberry sauce was a hit with the Yankees who were used to the canned stuff.

I'll be back at work on Tuesday night. It's time to get out my Santa's Little Helper outfit, I suppose. I always love dancing to some of my funny Christmas music. I've always wanted to work up a little Chanukah routine too - I'm thinking a blue miniskirt with a Star of David on the butt and a little menorah in my hair, dancing to some klezmer. There isn't that much of an audience for that in Austin but if I lived up here I'd try it for sure.
