I’ll be here, all day most likely too. I was suppposed to go out for dinner, but my little sister has developed a case of chicken pox, so I volunteered to watch her for my 'rents. The only thing I’m going to regret missing is the sweet potatos. I love them, and I only get them once or twice a year. Sigh. I only wish I could remeber if I have had chicken pox before or not… ---

I’ll be here off and on, in my new jammies. I’m cooking an 18lb turkey for me and my daughter. Anyone in NorCal looking for a meal? ---

I’ll be around, I suppose. Between my fathers birthday on th 26th and my mothers best friends birthday _on_ Christmas, I’ll probably have to go be sociable and have drinks and stuff…and you know how I hate that. [sub]Right **Nym and VB**?[/sub] ---

I’ll probably drop in at some point. As long as I’ve got my days of freedom (down to 9 now :(), I’m gonna milk 'em for all they’re worth. ---

[sigh] Probably not. Much as I would adore to spend the entire day posting and socializing, we have to do the over-the-river and through-the-woods thing to Grandma’s house (and yes, I know there are lonely Dopers out there who would KILL to have to do the over-the-river and through-the-woods thing to Grandma’s house, so sue me.)
