what am i supposed to do with all this free time?

Actually, I already know some of what I'm doing with my free time--making a pie. I'm even *gasp* going to attempt the crust. (I have a backup plan just in case.)

This year for Thanksgiving, my family is trekking over the mountains to the coast, where we will huddle together in the family's old, decrepit beach house, and I will be astonished at the amount my two much-younger cousins have grown.

Tomorrow, we shop! I really have nothing much to buy for most people, but I'll be out and about, picking up random things here and there. Then I will avoid the malls for a month.
