Songs in heads

We went to see Rent last night. It wasn't bad - lots of nitpicky stuff to complain about, but overall, it was well done. The problem is now I have random Rent songs stuck in my head. At least they're good songs.

There was much visiting of families this weekend, of course. Went to Chuckro's parents' for Thanksgiving. And a very pleasant Thanksgiving it was. A staggering amount of food - like two pounds of turkey per person. And almost as many desserts as entrees. (Two different pumpkin pies, two lemon meringue pies, an amaretto cake, a chocolate raspberry cake, my Tollhouse pie, a cheesecake with cherries, brownies, cookies, homemade whipped cream, whipped cream in a can, and Pumpkin Pie in the Sky ice cream from Coldstone Creamery.) My Tollhouse pie went over very well, which was pleasing.

I left Chuckro to study and visited my folks Saturday. My mom and I bought a bunch of craft supplies - we're making everybody new stockings. Ours are all really old and starting to get dingy, and Chuckro needs one of his own. We got some really gorgeous stuff - velvet with metallic swirls and lace and ribbon and trim and silver and gold bells. Squee!

And I'm pretty much done my Christmas shopping. Squee again!

Guess that (Christmas) song

When the song meme went around a few weeks ago, I had the idea of doing the same thing for Christmas songs. And since I consider everything to be fair game for Christmas once Santa passes by in the Thanksgiving parade, it's close enough I can actually do it.
