After I snag my brassieres from the washer, I hang them on my bedroom doorknob to dry. Once they are dry, they... um... stay there until I grab one to wear.
I need more drawer space, but I think that the hanging bras really indicate that I'd rather have more closet space, preferably in the form of a walk-in.
Do you think Santa could help? He got that house for Susan Walker after all.

The return of Thanksgiving haiku
Balloons in Macy's parade
are my favorite
Missed seeing Snoopy
in the parade. Made me sad.
Huzzah for the web!
Brown leaves cling to oak
tree. Grey skies with peeking blue.
Bright diffused sunlight.
Ooh, I love this song
"Walking on Air" by Kerli.
Jigglin' in my chair.
From 2006:
Already the house smells great:
Anticipation
What's up with mincemeat
pie? No meat? I might like it
if not for its name.
From 2005:
while Mom is throwing snowballs
up at my window.
In reply, I stuck
out my tongue and waved at her.
It looks cold outside.
Check out the comments on those posts for more T-day haiku from other bloggers, and feel free to leave one here. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

pre-thanks
When I was growing up, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving meant half-days at school and leaving to visit relatives. A drive that could be done in 9 hours under ideal conditions would take 11 on this day, sometimes 12 if the weather was bad.
It might not have been quite as long if I'd skipped the half-day, but by middle school all my teachers made a point of covering something pertinent, and I hated having to make work up. Once my brother left for college, we didn't drive down for Thanksgiving as often.
Part of me misses the long table with all the people, but the last time we were all down at the farm 10+ years ago, my brother and his wife were late and my aunt kind of wrote them off. Now my grandparents are dead, I don't much like those cousins, and I'm sick of being stranded while my cousins, brother, and his wife go out to smoke, or to a smoky bar, or most enviously go home while I remain for days.
On that note, I'm grateful that I'm not in a car right now enduring all the extra hassles of traveling on this particular day. Also, I'm thankful that I'll be with my parents tomorrow enjoying my quintessential T-day meal.
Have a pleasant tomorrow, everyone.

Life images online
In the realm of damn cool, Life magazine has put their photo archives online at Google Images.
My new favorite search (within Google Images) is:
source:life
The totally cool thing is that you can narrow that search with a category or person's name. E.g.,
source:life Katharine Hepburn
source:life war
source:life home
source:life airplane
source:life Ansel Adams
Clicking on a thumbnail image will provide details about the photo's content, where and when it was taken, who shot it, as well as enlarging it.

21 degrees in November?
In early afternoon?
You know, that's into negative numbers in Celsius.
Uf.
