What a Day!

Phew! Damn, I need more turkey for that trip-whatever they say makes ya sleepy! Good excuse for the Wife!!

I had a wonderful holiday with family, and the Reverend Mother's giblet gravy (I have Ziplocs of it to take home). Sis did damn good with her green bean casserole, and the winner is me and my two older boys. We ended up staying this night at my sis's whilst everyone else went home. I think it had to do with the two boys playing 'World of Warcraft' for the first time, and me, just hanging, watching movies and drinking the big ass bottle of Gentleman Jack the BIL picked up (I Love him so much!).

So here it is about 3QAM AZ time, and the oldest son and I are both doing mail/blog things. I am trying to get him offline to bed, but it is taking awhile. Meantime, I have been checking movie trailers. Lotta good stuff coming out - well, more bad than good, but some good stuff mixed in there.

BLACK FRIDAY - geez, that is tomorrow. The sis said she would drive me and the 2 boys home sometime, which is good for me. No shopping for at least a couple days. Okay - oldest is heading to bed - gotta go.

Countdown to the Gravy

Happy Thanksgiving Day! Be sure to remember those who won't be home for this holiday in your prayers, and what a fine job all the vets have done for this country.



I am counting down to time for the gravy. The Reverend Mother makes the best giblet gravy....

My Favorite Week

Thanksgiving Day is only 2 days away and I am excited. This is my favorite holiday of the year. I have been pacing myself preparing for the food that is going to be presented and feasted upon throughout the whole afternoon. I may fore go alcohol just to get more turkey and deviled eggs down - oh and the giblet gravy too!!!

Last week I pretty much accomplished avoiding the Wife. Which is why there were not any updates. Wife and computer at home means no way to access unless I went to someone else's house. Only prob is the other person actually has a job. Hopefully that is changing soon. I received a nice lead from a someone I know for a position selling vacation packages - no cold calling - and only 5 minutes from home. I am checking it out as soon as I am done here. You, my esteemed readers, come first.

Saw Trans-Siberian Orchestra Sunday night with the three older kids. The youngest made it halfway before falling asleep. As my buddy Smitty said, I was not too impressed this year. Seemed the same type of show, with few changes. I still enjoyed the second half when they play several of the well known songs. Either way the kids liked it again, and that goes for a major portion of their Christmas. They seemed okay with that - for now anyways.

Thanksgiving - A time I feel one should reflect and think about what they are thankful for over the past year. My list is pretty basic: My Wife and kids, a home for us, and many extra things (like a computer, eating out, etc). I try to keep it simple.

Thanks to you readers too. It's not always interesting here, but I am sure you have laughed at some point. I'll be sure to have a quick thought of you between forkfuls of turkey and pumpkin pie. Happy Thanksgiving!
