Okay, despite what I just wrote, I promised y'all an update on my Thanksgiving/birthday adventures, Tango and Luna and my two front teeth. So, briefly ...
In keeping with my tradition of traveling for my birthday and Thanksgiving -- which happened to be on the same day this year -- I went to Spokane. I know, not real exciting, but the coast trip I'd been planning just seemed too overwhelming, especially with a new kitty at home. So I ended up spending two luxurious nights at Spokane's finest hotel, the Davenport. I started off my visit with a 50-minute deep-tissue massage and a 25-minute cranial massage in the hotel spa. On the Big Day proper, I saw "The Polar Express" movie at the IMAX theater. (Which was sorta creepy, sorta cool.) That night I had a lovely fireside dinner in the hotel's knockout lobby, while reading Gay's birthday present to me, "The Sweet Potato Queen's Field Guide to Men." Let me tell you, this book is a scream. It was all I could do to maintain my composure while reading it in public. After checkout Friday, I did some shopping before heading home. My only complaint about the whole thing is that it was much too short.
In the next day or two, I will upload a batch of new photos to Flickr, which will include some shots from my Spokane trip. They'll join the rotating collection in the upper-right corner of my pages.
Tango and Luna are getting along smashingly. Well, Tango is still hissing and growling on occasion, but tonight I caught him and Luna playing together. Warmed my heart. Yesterday they both had vet appointments, Tango for his dewormer shot and Luna for a general checkup. The vet surprised me by pronouncing Luna about a year and a half old, based on her teeth. She's so kittenish, I thought she was younger. But I guess her teenage pregnancy stunted her growth. Today, Luna went outside on her own steam for the second time, and I nervously let her out of my sight. Later, before I had to leave, I called her to come home and was about to give up when she came running. What delight!
My two front teeth: They're almost straight. I kid you not. My first adjustment is tomorrow and my teeth are 90 percent straight after less than two months in braces. I can't wait to see what the orthodontist says.
Okay, that's it for a while. I'm not posting again until my finals are finished!

finals done?
Noooo ... I'm halfway done. Twenty pages of fiction to write this weekend. Then I'm done.
I hope your finals are going well, but I'm ready to hear how the cats are doing...and you, of course. :)
