As you may have guessed, I've been working a lot my Skype tutorial which is due this Saturday. I even took off yesterday (Tuesday) to work on it, and I'm also taking off Friday. I've typed up a good chunk of it, Tonight with my teacher's help, I finally figured out the chat function. I think it will work out all right.

Then I have another project which is called a memo, but is really more of a proposal. We have to write a memo convincing (an imaginary) library to adopt some sort of technology. I didn't have a topic for that so I asked my teacher what he thought and he suggested offering Skype at the library. I'm not sure I'll be able to get five pages out of that, but I'll try. There is some controversy around Skype so I'm sure I can dig some of that up to make it interesting.

I can't believe I haven't even posted about Thanksgiving. Me who loves holidays! The meal was completely vegan and Sweetie did most of it:we got the Tofurky kit, but he roasted the Tofurky in the this yummy caramelized onion and sour cherry relish type stuff that he made. He also made Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish, which is getting to be his annual tradition. I cooked up some green beans (fresh) and mashed pumpkin (from a can), and I also made an apple crumble pie (completely from scratch of course). His mom brought a fruit salad and an orzo pilaf of sorts.

It was just Sweetie and I and his parents. After we ate, I brought out some old photographs I have from my mom's side of the family and everyone seemed to enjoy poring over those with me. The ones from my grandmother's wedding in 1926 are always quite the hit. She was beautiful. I also got to hear some stories about my mother-in-law's family that I had never heard before. Fascinating stuff. I love family history. I am really blessed to have such nice in-laws. My mother-in-law even called later Thanksgiving weekend to say what a nice time they had had.
