Pepper, big game bird hunter...
Nov. 27th, 2015 06:18 amHere we have documented Miss Pepper's journey from "don't mind me I'm just sitting here enjoying the ambiance" to "screw it, I'm gonna sit on the rolls and eat this turkey"...
And yeah, yeah, I know, I should have shoo'd her away from the table, but it was just so funny watching her that I had to grab the camera instead. And she didn't really sit on the rolls... just sort of hovered. LOL

Rainy wet Black Friday....
Nov. 27th, 2015 07:35 amWe survived Thanksgiving. In spite of still not feeling my best (but feeling better than I was before meds--still coughing but I can at least sleep at night now), I managed not to screw up cooking the turkey or anything else. The new oven baked the bird perfectly. The oven has a temperature probe that you insert into the meat and plug into an outlet on the stove wall, then you set the 'target temperature' (which for turkey is 165F). When the meat reaches the target temperature, the stove switches from baking to 'holding' until you're ready to get it out. Neat. We also discovered that the kitchen is the social gathering spot we'd hoped it'd be. With the breakfast bar, my sister was able to sit and chat while I cooked and at times all four of us ended up hanging out sitting on the stools or at the dining room table while things were cooking. Fun!
Hubby and Dink got up at the crack of dawn to dive into Black Friday shopping. Since they stirred up all the animals, I went ahead and got up as well, though I wasn't interesting in shopping in the least. Black Friday crowds are firmly atop my 'avoid like you would zombie hoards' list. They have a rainy, rainy day to do their shopping. It's going to rain all weekend, in fact. We've gotten almost 2 inches already and it's barely started, so I'm sure by the time this massive system finally moves on the rain gauge will be completely full once more, which will potentially make it 10+ inches in less than two weeks. Feel free to send me a snorkel.
My productivity since getting up so early: I made a new Bucky icon from an image from the trailer. *points* That's it so far. I'm going to see if I can't do a little writing before my sister gets up. Once she's up, we'll probably spend the day chatting, plus she hasn't seen Man From UNCLE yet and we liked that movie so much we bought it on DVD. Such an underrated film.
I really, really wish The Martian was out on DVD, but it won't be until after Christmas. *sigh* I need some Happy Sebby to offset all the sads the Civil War trailer gave me. I've been hiding out in that fandom a little, reading what little bit of Johanbeck fluff I can find, just to escape the angst. Yes, I said Johanbeck. Even though cutesy ship names make me grit my teeth, and even though I'm not much of a shipper at all, I love that little romance in The Martian. So sweet. It's the perfect thing to offset my Bucky-Steve-Tony-argh-would-you-guys-just-get-along frustration. Working on my Bucky WIP will also help in that regard. Writing fic while canon is still unfolding is always risky and my current Bucky WIP doesn't match up at all with MCU canon, but I'm staying with my vision. I need a lighter, happier Steve & Bucky reunion+going forward than what we'll likely see on screen next spring or what they gave us in the comics (Steve & Bucky rarely together afterward), so vive le AU!
Have a good Friday, everyone!
