T minus....a couple weeks

I'm reading "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. The murders of the family in the book occurred on November 15, the very day I read about them! Coincidence??? Unknown.
I started some Thanksgiving cooking today. I made a savory biscotti with lemon zest, browned butter, and capers. They turned out well. I also made sweet and salty nut clusters (NOT dietary in any way--corn syrup, honey and sugar). They taste good, but they didn't really firm up into clusters--it's kinda just a goopy pile. People will have to look past the presentation to the impeccable flavor.
I got my visa back from the Vietnamese embassy today. Hooray! Now I will be allowed on the plane! It's only for a month, though, so if I want to stay longer than that I'll have to figure out a way to renew it.
In other news, I sent in my final law school application last night. I'm glad they're all done and I don't have to worry about them till....Jan 1, the very day I get kicked out of Vietnam. That's when I hear back from the U of M.
Yesterday I had my last day of work with the Habitat crew. Again, what a nice group of people. One gentleman was in the peace corps in Nepal. He gave me the name of the city he and his wife were working in, and said he might be there in March too! It's a small world.
I'm getting excited to travel. Yay.
Aaron is flying in from Nashville tonight. We (me, Mom and Dad) are going to pick him up from the airport and then straight to the cabin! He hasn't seen it yet, so I think he'll be impressed. Plus, it'll be fun for the four of us to hang out.
I've had "Viva Las Vegas" stuck in my head.
