Christmas shopping

Hmm. The other day I kept hearing someone shouting, "Put your Mickey ears on, we're going to Disneyland!" and then suddenly my family was gone. So I did what I usually do under these circumstances.


I went to Seattle to go Christmas shopping.


And what to my wondering eyes should appear...


but a miniature sleigh and five tiny rain-pigs.

Huh.


Well, mine not to question why. Mine to do quite a lot of shopping instead.


You know, the Space Needle looks a lot less tall in person. Just saying.


I wonder what my family might like for Christmas.


Perhaps a festive film?


A Good Kitty ornament. This shopping trip just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Eventually I found the perfect gift (not shown here so as not to spoil the surprise) and made my purchase. And then I hitched a ride home so as not to be missing when my family returned.

I'm so sneaky.

Turkey dreams

As I slept off the turkey feast, I had a very strange dream.


I dreamt I was in a strange place.


Indiana Jones was there...


and for some reason he tried to rob me.


But all of a sudden this grey-bearded wizard showed up...


and he turned Indy into a chicken.


It was about that time that I decided I should run.


Unfortunately I was so busy running away that I didn't watch where I was going.


Luckily (?) the wizard turned me into a chicken as I fell, so I wasn't hurt.


But just then some evil wizards found me.


Although they turned me back to myself again...


they decided not to let me leave until they'd made me one of them.


So they did!


Gahhh! Just about then I woke up, thank goodness. I didn't really want to be an evil wizard.

[Many thanks to Erik for documenting my dream!]

Thanksgiving Day

Did I mention I got invited to a friend's house to celebrate Thanksgiving this year?

I didn't?

Maybe it's because I've been sleeping it off ever since.


Nice wreath. Can you see me in it?


While waiting for dinner to be served, I wandered around and looked at all the decorations that were out.


There were a lot of them.


My friend is an artist who likes to decorate for the holidays.


I was getting hungry... but just around the time I started thinking about breaking into the oranges, dinner was served!


Look at this bounteous spread! Mmm turkey.


The food, a little closer. Mmmm.

We ate and ate until we could eat no more. But even then we weren't finished!


It was time for dessert.


There was cheesecake with raspberry sauce.


Ohohohhh cheesecake.


There was also pumpkin pie. Ohohohhhh pie.


And there was even more food to take home! Really!

While everyone else played games after dinner, I fell into a deep food coma.
