Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

My two "non-essential" food items are done. Now somebody kick me to get my butt in gear to make me get dressed to go to my brother's. It's raining heavy here and I don't feel like getting out the house.

Apple Pie is done!! Stuffing is ready for the bird, the birds are all defrosted... ds came in, "how long does it take to cook?" 3-4 hours. Well, why are you cooking now? So it will be ready at 2. "TWO?? Mom, that is so wrong, dinner at TWO?."

*sigh, so we can eat leftovers for dinner sons, "Mom please?" They said please!!

Well I am so happy you guys are having a great holiday. Thanksgiving has a way of making you think about the people you love in your life and remember the ones that are gone.

I got some sad but expected news this morning. Our great aunt passed away through the night. She was almost 99 years old, had a stoke almost 2 weeks ago and was in pain for the last few days because of other things I won't go into. She was kept heavily medicated thankfully and finally it is over for her. I am sad that she is no longer with us but can be happy that we had this extraordinary woman for so long and so relieved that her suffering is over. This has been a hard year for our family , between my husband and I we lost. 2 uncles, one each, my close cousin's son who was only in his early 20's, my father and his Great aunt Dot. With all this we are thankful we are still blessed with our own good health, and our children who are doing well. You know out of all this there is some good, it has certainly made all of us closer and thankful that we have each other and I am trying to be a little more patient with my usually annoying family and just realize that although they can be trying that I am so happy that that I have them.

We were going away for the weekend because our anniversary is on Tuesday so will be putting that on hold until next weekend probably. I can't believe it is 26 years coming up, where did the time go.

Jeez. How much do I love Mary J Blige? She was SOOOOO good during the football halftime--just finished--and somehow I have never gone to see her in concert. Add that to my things to do list.

Who's shopping tomorrow? Anybody else make plans? I bought the paper, ToysRUs opens at 5AM, I like to hit the earliest places and buy the early bird specials then move on. I hit places that are having 2 days sales late in the day or on Saturday!!

OH SBG>>> I see that Walmart has a crockpot on sale for a mere $4.95!!! 5 bucks for a crockpot!! I'm telling you, this can be fun!! :)

Well, I'm finally done with the Thanksgiving thing.

Somethings that were wonderful today:

(1) My brother and I got to share some quality time and wonderful moments today, just he and I. We both work alot, so it's rare we can just visit.

(2) My grandmother who just had surgery was there, I so adore that woman!

Something that weren't too wonderful:

(1) Mother, as much as I love her, pulled the old "pack your bags, you're going on a guilt trip" routine as she usually does when there is more than myself and 2 people in the room. God love her, but people like that keep therapists in business, LOL.

(2) An uncle who I hadn't seen in many years mistook me for my 60 year old aunt. Now we do look alike but come on! Gheesh. He never was my favorite uncle anyway, LOL.

All in all, I put a grade of A on this whole day. Spent the day with ones I love, didn't eat too much and got a good nap in this afternoon. All in all, you really can't ask for more than that.

Good morning after turkey day! Hope everyone had a good time. Now for the shopping!

I love leftovers - had dressing and turkey with gravy for breakfast. I think lunch will be red velvet cake (my own homemade). I promise not to get on the bathroom scales until February. That will give me time to repair the damage I will do in the next 3-4 weeks. LOL

I am really enjoying these days off work (even tho they did call me Wednesday - are they helpless? LOL). I'm not even going to think about next week.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

ToysRUs, 5AM, omg!! I am so thrilled!! And they had the lines all open and ready, I didnt wait at all, filled my cart, (Bratz dolls was the most hectic, trying to find the Maygan doll!!) and wanted to look for a Christmas movie I hear may be out... but the lady said I was in line, so fine, I'll check out, lol, no waiting!!!

I got to $20 scrapbooks at michels for $9 - w/ coupon and sales!! :) no waiting. I avoided Circuit City, WalMart, the mall... I do need to get some Yankee Candles at Linen's and Things, but my blood sugar/b/p are low, so I came home for food and vitamins!! :) :) :)

Mak1, thank you so much for the answer! That kid was amazing! Do you know the name of the show? Peter Allen was such a talented man. Such a shame he died so young. If I make it to NYC I'm going to make it a point to see that show. That boy has a great future ahead of him.
