I'm thankful for:

~having a talented and thoughtful daughter who prepared the entire €hanksgiving meal.
~having a son who pushed me to go to his grandfather's house to share their Thanksgiving meal.
~having the means to be able to do some Black Friday shopping
~having a strong roof over my head and a strong family within its walls

gooble gooble

this year will be the first Thanksgiving in close to 30 years where I have not been responsible for cooking the meal. It's not like I am passing the torch - I would much rather be home now brining a turkey - but I am in for a lengthy work day so I asked my daughter for help prepping the meal. that turned into my mother taking over. The menu so far: turkey, honey baked ham, prime rib, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, au jus, dressing, pumpkin pie and turkey tetrazini. Note the lack of vegtables. I fear for our lives.

go away bug

why is it, that on one of the busiest work weeks of the year, which happens to also be the week of my son's birthday AND the week before Thanksgiving, do I have to come down with a bug ......for the 2nd time in a month. Enough already.....I got things to do - not the least of which is knitting a buttload of Jayne hats and planning a party for 100. Calagon take me away.

men who stare at goats was not great but was entertaining any movie with george clooney and jedis will always be on my must-see list now its knitting time
i am working on a jayne hat (huge surprise, right?), a dropped stitch scarf using lorna laces, some Scar socks (remember SWII?), and plotting out one or two pairs of fetching gloves.
