Thanksgiving has come and gone. November 28, 2008
Posted by Staci in : General Ramblings , 1 comment so farWell the holiday is over. It passed pretty uneventful this year. My sister, her husband, and 2 of their 4 kids visited for about an hour in the morning. The baby is getting so big. She can say Mama, Dada, and Baba. When she is happy she smiles, laughs, and claps her hands. I can’t believe how big she has gotten since I saw her just 2 weeks ago.
The remainder of the afternoon/night it was just me and my mother. We had turkey (made in a slow cooker this time), mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, and of course pumpkin pie. We didn’t worry about using the good china or even eating at the formal table. We sat in the living room and watched NCIS on dvd pretty much all day. A nice relaxing holiday.
I am Thankful for a lot of things. More then I can put into words. I have a great family, good friends (both real and imagined *grin*), a good job, and my health just to name a few.
I have one more week of work and then I am on vacation for a week to get all my shopping done. I have done a bit of it online already, but I know I will need to get some stuff in the stores so the week off work will be nice to have. I can get up a bit earlier then usual, spend the day shopping and the evening wrapping presents.
Well that is all I have for now. There are a lot of nights I think of things to post on here while I am laying in bed, but the next day I either don’t remember clearly what I wanted to write about, or I don’t have the time to do it. I really need to keep a notebook by my bed so I can write down the fleeting bits of inspiration that I have late at night while all alone with my thought.
