It's Almost Thanksgiving!

Hooray, a short work week here in America, as we prepare to eat turkey and travel to be with our families and go to weddings. What's that, you say? You don't have a wedding to go to this weekend? I guess that's just me.

Tonight, I go home and pack. I'm thinking of also attempting to bake some cookies to take with me but I'm not sure; that might be overly ambitious on the eve-of-Thanksgiving-eve.

Tomorrow, I go to work for the whole day. And then around 6:30, I get on a train. That's right, I am riding the rails this Thanksgiving, all the way from Washington to Clemson, South Carolina. It takes 11 hours. I get in at 5:30 am. I hope no one expects me to be cheerful, what with a night of sleeping in a chair and all. Can you get jet lag if you a. don't fly anywhere and b. don't change time zones?

Then my family is driving to Kentucky, to go to the wedding of a family friend. I hope it's fun.

And THEN, my parents are driving me to Nashville, where I hop a flight home. Well, sort of home. To Baltimore, where my friend Courtney so kindly offered to pick me up. (I offered to baby-sit in exchange, but as they have a live-in houseguest right now, I don't know if my services will be needed.)

What are YOU doing for Thanksgiving? Or, hey, if you're not American, then, for the weekend?

Also? I made two hats. In one weekend! I know you are impressed.
