a message from luna and stella

Hiya readers! We’re looking to you for some understanding.

Mamma’s under the weather and also under deadlines–and those are not nice together.

So we’re going to wish all of our fellow Americans a Happy Thanksgiving now and take a blogging break until next Tuesday–when we’ll be back with a fabulous book giveaway!

Hey, whatchu still lookin’ at?

We said we’d see you in a week!

Ciaooooooo!

Sorry to hear that you are under the weather and under stress at the same time. You really don’t need ‘Double Jeopardy’ in your life! I’m sure that ‘P’ and the pooches will guide you through this.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Michelle — sorry you’re not feeling well and have work to do too! As Gil said, no fun at the same time (no fun separately!). Hope you’re feeling better soon, and thank Luna and Stella for stepping in for you! The gals did great!

Well OK, but you’ve just removed one more thing from the grateful list… balanced by another one added: I am not sick! Tra la, tra la!!!

Luna and Stella are excellent typists, considering that they aren’t cats. Hope you feel better soon. And have a wonderful holiday!

Oh, you snuck in with the “Thanksgiving is iffy” comment, while I was typing mine out. So instead of a wonderful holiday, I’ll instead wish that you have a restful Thursday.

I guess your turkey will have a wonderful holiday, though. Okay, I’ll stop commenting now.

Indeed! I was thinking of holding a press conference pardoning the turkey in front of a man slaughtering other turkeys, but now I fear it’s overdone. Damn that Palin!

Tell your human that we hope she feels better, that deadlines are GOOD (because that means work is rolling in) and that I hope she has a great Thanksgiving, too!

Thanks so much everyone; I have been feeling better as the virus progresses.

And yes, Diana, there are turkeys in Italy, but they tend to grow them *huge* so that they are sold in parts in stores unless you specially request one whole from the butcher (and then you better have a big oven)!
Frances on 26 Nov 2008 at 11:02 pm #

Lovely girls, snuggles and pets to you both.

Meanwhile, I’m guessing it’s 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. over there in Calabria on the last day of NaNoWriMo. How’s your mama doin’? She going to make it?

(Don’t interrupt her to ask. Tell me later.)

I hope you are feeling better? And have gotten plenty of rest. Happy ‘belated’ Thanksgiving to you bella. I didn’t celebrate here. I miss that.
I hope the girls have kept your feet warm.
Now I’m off to do some catching up here. I missed so many good posts.
