Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I have a lot to be thankful for today, and I am so fortunate to have so many things. Also, it is a great time to say a prayer for our military. Many of them are away from their families. I really appreciate what they are doing to keep us safe, and for all the sacrifices that they make for us all!! We are having dinner at my sister's today, so I am thankful that I have family close by to spend the day and I really miss those that are not here this year!! Have a great turkey day!!
Also, for my good friend, Ganny in India and his family...I pray that you all will be safe!! I was so glad to hear that you were safe in Mum bi and out of harm's way!! Stay strong!!

Cold!! BRRRRRRRRRRRR!
It was 29 degrees today!! T is sick. I took her in on Friday for shots and she has been stuffy ever since then! I think the flu nose spray might have caused the stuffiness, but she has not had any other reactions, so I think she will be okay!! This is the first day she has missed school! She had perfect attendance, so I am a little bummed about that!
I have been really busy these past weeks so posting has been scarce! My husband took a fall over Halloween, and broke his wrist on one arm and a finger on each hand, and one of his ribs. He is getting stronger as the days go on, but not able to do much to help out!! And oh, the whining is unbearable!!! I have had to have a few Martini's each night just to cope with having my days rearranged!!! It has been a long three weeks!! We had some relatives visiting (from the hubby's family) , did a lot of painting and prep for that with a handy man that required constant supervision, and a good friend of ours passed away on last Thursday and his funeral was on Sunday. His death was a shock to us all as he was only 51, but he had been ill for sometime. I know we will miss him dearly, especially with the holidays coming up. He was a part of our family after his wife died a few years ago, and we all had adopted him as an uncle. I think my sister and her family will miss him too. She has lost two "best friends" in a few years!! I can't imagine what that feels like! Anyway, I will try to do better on the posts as I have been lacking for awhile now!! Have a great day!!

What kind of muffin are you??
Chris,
I took your muffin test and here are the results:
What Kind of Muffin Are You?
You Are a Bran Muffin
Some people have accused you of being all work and no play. And that does describe you most of the time.You are very career oriented. When you're not working making money, you're working to improve yourself.You have very little room in your life for fluff. You want to live as good of a life as possible.You are competitive and driven. You like to surround yourself with other motivated people.While you are a go-getter, you are by no means self centered. Quite the opposite.You are a caring, together, and stable friend. You are grounded enough to be there for people.

Monday's blog..
It is cold today and very windy! Last week was really busy, so not much time to blog. We had contractors in for new carpet in the basement, painting, and I even got someone in to empty the closets and carry the heavy things up into the attic. I have lots more to do today, but after spending most of the day at Home Depot, it probably won't get done today!! I lost the nuts and bolts to the table that goes into the basement, so I spent hours at Home Depot trying to find the correct fittings so I could put the table back together! So, that is probably the only thing I am going to do!!
I also plan to make French Onion Soup tonight, if I can get time to go grocery shopping!
Over the weekend, we went out to lunch in Acworth and walked into a lot of shops, and it was very relaxing for a change. I got some neat ideas of what I could do to decorate the guest room upstairs. We are having guests in two weeks for a few days, so I need to do something to spruce it up in there.
Well, hope all of you in blog land had a great weekend! I will try to do better with my blogging soon!!

News from T's day!
Today was a "first" dance at T's school. She didn't seem to be nervous, but excited, as she was going to hang out with all her friends. I asked if she was going to dance with a boy, and she said no, gross...oh, the joy I felt when I heard that!! HA!! I don't think I am ready for the "relationship" horrors yet, but I do have information from the best friend that she has two boyfriends..ha! Hopefully, it will stay that way for awhile!! With two, I can rest assured that she will be too busy to think of only one, and that her little heart will remain in tact for at least another year!! I tried to remember what I was like at that age, but it is hard to do at my age. She has had boyfriends since kindergarten, so I expect that I should just be thankful that she is a normal kid and that she is growing up healthy and happy!!
Other news, my step daughter got a ring from her boyfriend last week. She is in college and has a few years left, so she says they are not rushing it. Hopefully, she will make the right choices and he will be the one for her. I have not met him yet, but received an email and a picture of him and the ring. Those modern day ways of communication are a changing!! Oh well, at least she told us!! Have a great day!

Cool! Fall is here!!
It is 58 degrees today and T is getting ready for school. I had to take her to the doctor on Saturday, as she was coughing and stuffy. She got antibiotics, so she is some better today. She is still coughing, but wanted to go to school, so I let her.
The weekend was quiet, as we have been sick for weeks, so we stayed in and ordered food out, and only left the house to go to the grocery store and the doctor. Pretty boring, huh? I am anxious to go to the mountains for the fall to see the leaves and pick some apples. I am hoping we are all well soon, so we can make the trip. Have a great day!

Feeling better and Friday's thoughts...
Today we are finally feeling a little better after two weeks of a bronchitis bug. It seems that the culprit was a guy at D's work, not our T that gave us the bug. He came into work coughing his head off and that was all it took for D to bring the bug home. It was a two week sickness and we were very lucky that T managed to stay healthy with both of us hacking all around her! Even though we are better now, the sinus stuff is staying around a little longer than it should. You would think after two rounds of antibiotics that we would be fine!! Oh well, maybe the change in season is the reason that we are having some allergies still, and not the bronchitis. Anyways, it is nice to wake up and find that our ability to breathe and talk has returned!!
About the debate last night, I think Sarah Palin did well. I did not know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised when she held her own in the debate. I was not that impressed with Biden, as she was able to use his own comments against him, which I thought was a significant blow to Obama's credibility. Two things that really struck me odd with Biden was his comment that he was doing well with a nice big house and a so to speak senator's salary?? I thought this was a bad judgement comment, considering that most of the Us population is in financial ruins...and the comment on the Constitution and the Vp responsibility was also a boggled comment. Check out the article for yourself...he got it backwards!!! It also did not help that some of his attacks on John McCain's voting records were not very well represented. Did he not think that the media would have the proof it needed to check the facts?? BTW, this is just my opinion, but I think he also represented a "old policy" view on many things that I personally am not interested in hearing again. To boot, it seems that the democratic party is not all together this year. First you have the Hilary thing, and then this..how can you change things with the same old Biden and the wishy washy comments about a party united, when they can not move forward on the issues at hand, but still are stuck in the past, blaming Bush and using each other's comments against people in their own party?? Biden was onto Obama in the previous months prior to his VP pick, so how can he change his comments now that he is the nominee to make people think that he truly feels that this guy is what this country needs?? Did he lie previously when he attacked Obama's voting record, and what about his previous support of John McCain??? What is he doing here?? Does he feel that we all are that naive that we can trust someone like him to do anything when he can not decide whose side he is on here??
To Sarah Palin's credit, she did fend him well, but at times, I was very proud to see her look into the camera and talk to America. This is something that put her in a "real person' status for me. I don't always agree with the political rhetoric, but I found this to be a positive spin in getting her true self out there. I think that the media needs to give her a break, and I also think that even though most people voted that she was not that experienced, that she showed that she was willing and able to go into Washington and fight for Americans...the proof will be in the next four years, but honestly, with all that is going on in the world, McCain might be the right choice because I just don't see how Obama can change things with the same "old Biden" who literally told us he would not change in the debate.. We have to have someone in authority that has had experience in the military, and in Washington to get anything done here, and even though I might not agree with all of his policies, he just seems to be the safe person here. This is a race that will go down in history..and it is not one to take a gamble on when there is so much at stake in the world. As I have explained here, this is my opinion, and even though it is not worth the blog it is written on, it stands the same and I think every American should think about what is at stake here when they go and vote. The real truth is that you can never really trust an elected official to do what they say, but in these times, we have to vote on someone to do the job. What other choice do we have here???
Well, enough said on that...I am sure that I will get some nasty comments, but all the same, like I said earlier..it is just my opinion, for what it is worth...
Hopefully, the world will still be standing after November 4th....we can only hope that we make the right choice and get the reform that is needed to get our country back into shape and move forward...have a great weekend!
