over the river and through the woods

well in all the excitement of packing and everything, i didn't get a chance to update to tell you i was going to new hampshire to visit the grandparents. i got in yesterday morning to freezing cold weather, we went to a restaurant i've never been to in durham and then we hung out for a bit. aunt carol and i ran some errands while spanky went to physical therapy for his sciatica.

i love being at my grandparents house. it always smells the same, the fridge is full of things i like, there's tea-aplenty. we go shopping and to our favorite restaurants. i took the fancycam with me, so i'll upload pictures when i get home. for now, i'm on my old toshiba that i gave gram and spanky when i went to taiwan so we could keep in touch.
(these are the frozen raspberries that gram and spanky picked just for me this summer to eat with vanilla ice cream!)

today we went shopping and i found a cute skirt and a couple of tops. gram and i have been sewing away on my halloween costume. all we have left is the hem. it's pretty cute, i can't wait to upload the pictures. i even kind of sewed in a straight line on the machine. i can't figure out how to get the pedal to push down evenly though so i either drive way too fast or i crawl along. who knows. gram is the expert here.

anyway we watched the UT game tonight until they switched it to "the more interesting" USC game. chicken on the rotisserie, fresh brusselsprouts, salad and sweet potatoes tonight with ice cream sandwiches from roberges and apple pie for dessert. deeeelicious. i think i've gained 5 pounds.
