Only a few days before Thanksgiving and I still don't know what I'm going to do. I've gotten a lot of invitations. Haven't made up my mind yet. I might just stay home this year. Last year I went to TT's aunt and uncle's and we had a big fight on the subway on the way there. Dinner was pretty tense, to say the least.

I spent the day working on a new song. "Never Gonna Be Mommy". It's coming along very well. I started it last night.

That company finally sent me a project to work on. Only it wasn't for PowerPoint. It was for Visual Basics, which I don't know at all. I accepted the work because I thought it just involved doing simple macros but once I figured out how to do macros (which took two days), I realized it was a lot more involved than that. I found a guy in Germany who sent me a rough draft of the project. I'm waiting to hear back from him as to what his price will be and then I'll decide if it's worth farming the job out. Meanwhile, I guess I'll be learning Visual Basics next. So much to do, so little time...

I watched The Wire earlier. It's such a good show. The writing is excellent. I made some popcorn to eat during the show and I'm afraid I put a bit too much salt on it. Now my mouth feels like it's about to blister. I guess I'll be drinking lots of water tonight.

I cut my hair. I like it a lot more this time than I did the last time I cut it. I feel so light and free. Miss P's mom came by to have her hair braided on Saturday. She was quite surprised when I opened the door and she saw my hair. "I almost decided not to have my hair braided this time," she said, "and just wear it like yours." I guess that was a good sign. Meant she liked it I suppose. I always feel so guilty charging her to have her hair braided. After all, she's Miss P's mom. But then I remind myself that wherever else she went, she'd have to pay and wouldn't get nearly as good a job as the one I give her. And I'm giving her a discount.

ECB's driving down on Tuesday. I'll probably spend some time on the island with her. Looking forward to getting some sleep. There's not much else to do out there. Except go to the movies and watch television.

We're not going to visit SS. The drive is just too long and ECB's only going to be in town for five days. I Know SS will be disappointed. Maybe we'll drive down for Christmas. SS's husband is going off to Iraq and I know she's going to be bummed out about that and worried about him. I plan to go down for a bit and take her mind off of all of the horrible things that might happen to her hubby.

Well, that's all the news that's fit to print.

More soon...
