thanks... given

i had to pack a stuffing and mashed potato sandwich and put on the only pair of pants that still fit and drag myself to the gym today. lordy lordy we are in the midst of a terrible storm of eatin' -- just be glad you couldn't see me sweating gravy on the treadmill earlier today.

our thanksgiving was quite nice this year- good food and good company. after the all day eatfest on thursday we got up to fix brunch for my parents and basically went right back to feeling insanely full. that was solved by two laps at castle island later that day (i can't believe how warm it has been!), but then completely undone when we came home to have 'leftover bowls' followed by a trek to brookline for sushi with the butter queen, her mistah, and friend sondra.

so here are some pics from the past few days... hope everyone's still finding stuffing in the strangest of places ;)
