thanks for giving, bugs!

i am thankful for fingernails so i can effectively scratch all of my bug bites from thanksgiving weekend.

i'm not sure where they came from - either from when we were outside or maybe while i was sleeping because they are mostly situated on my left arm. good thing too, since i'm right-handed (makes scratching easier). i've decided to name my new friends - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? so far i've come up with:

> nervinder and gervinder (they're two bites really close together)
> julie and jolie (ditto)
> david and goliath (one big, one small, i'll let you figure out which is which)
> el scratcho
> collar-a
> outkast
> knucklehead
> clarisse

bug bite amigos aside, we had a lovely thanksgiving weekend with the family, enjoying some down-time, beautiful weather and yummy food.

when i returned to work on tuesday, my japanese co-worker gave me a box of japanese sweets! for some reason, no one else was as excited about my green tea-flavoured mochi with red bean paste inside as i was. that's ok, that means there is more for me!
