Well, I'm cheating a little with the first one:
Adopted Oliver the Cat (10/30)
He's an orange tabby, and about 11 months old. He's playful, likes crinkly-foil balls to chase around, and enjoys meowing at 3:00am. We're working on that.
Election Day (11/2)
The lovely Jennifer & I got up and went to the polling station before work - a gamble, I know. The polling place is on the way to work, only a couple of miles from the house. Our early arrival paid off - I was one of the first 50 voters, and was only 30 minutes later than usual to work. I've done worse. This is also the first election I've voted in ON election day - there is no early voting in Alabama (I absentee voted in 2008 because I was going to be on TDY for the election that year).
House Guests: Jennifer's Parents (11/5 - 11/6)
Jennifer's parents came up to see the house now that we're settled. They also hauled off some excess furniture, so that's great.
House Guests: Nan & Pop (11/12 - 11/14)
Nan & Pop came up to see us the next weekend. Pop helped me put in some shelves in our guest bathroom (there isn't a linen closet, just an alcove. Now, it's built in shelves. Nice.
Thanksgiving in Memphis (11/24 - 11/28)
The traditional Thursday triple-whammy of turkey totally tripped a triptophane tsunami. Thank you, even I'm impressed by that. Actually, the day-of went as smoothly as possible. The only hiccup was trying to find Stop #3 (Jennifer's aunt & uncle's place). It's along a section of Raleigh-Lagrange Road that only quasi-exists. The Tomtom was very confused, but we made it. Also, we decided that since we'd seen everyone we needed to, we were able to get on the road around 10:00am, which got us home a lot earlier than we usually do. It was a good call.
More in December.
