Magic Box

After two weeks of it sitting idly in the corner of our bedroom, on a whim, I sat down in front of our destitute, brain-dead computer and gave its little power button a tap, and VOILA!...It came alive! So folks, although it's quite possibly short-lived, our sweet little Dell is back in action--and I didn't even have to stick it in the freezer. It truly is a Thanksgiving miracle.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, Matt and I are sitting at the SD airport as I write this, waiting for our flight to St Louis (via Minneapolis, of all places). Northwest Airlines is on my hit-list these days, so I hope make it through this flight without blowing a gasket. If I'm feeling inspired, I'll share my NWA experiences of late with you sometime. Frankly, if they don't cooperate with my demands, I'm going to threaten to smote them publicly on my blog. Ok, I need to stop. I can feel my blood-pressure rising.

In other news, I'm going to eat 25 pieces of pie tonight at the annual Kirkland Pie Night festivities. Wish me luck!

So glad you guys get to go home for PIE NIGHT! I'm jealous. :)

We talk of the fabled Pie Night often in the Mildren household, waiting, just waiting, for the day when we will either be invited (we know it's hard to get VIP in the Kirkland Klan) or start our own tradition! Probably the latter, sadly....a girl can dream..... Well, we give Thanks for our wonderful friends, the Kirklands! Even if they get Pie Night and we don't......

Oh my, the "wish I could be invited to pie night" list certainly is a long one.

Wow 25 pieces of pie. That's a lot of pie. Eat a 26th piece for me:) Maybe you could smuggle it out and ship it to me. LOL.

Pie Night! I heard your momma is going to be there! Lucky! Hope you guys have a great time!

Yeah... People always get so jealous of Pie Night. I wonder why they don't make that a new tradition in their family. There aren't too many people that would say, "no thanks. That doesn't sound like a very good tradition..."

Not that I'm trying to make our uniquely awesome tradition the norm...
