Lost in Outer Space

I am so excited for Thanksgiving weekend because I get to spend time with my mom, both my sisters, and all the kids. We will have several meals together, play together and at some point, open Christmas presents together. I can't remember when that tradition started but I love it. I am one of the few people that can get just about all their shopping done before Thanksgiving!

I am making a double batch of peanut butter balls and also two loaves of bubble bread. I will be making a toffee trifle and whatever else that I feel the need to bake. I am also making homemade meatballs to take to Walter's Aunt's house tomorrow and sausage gravy and biscuits for a special breakfast on Sunday at my sister's house. Walter is going to make an all meat chili for dinner on Saturday. I'll probably have to make some homemade biscuits to go with that.

Everything just sounds so yummy. I am probably going to gain 15 pounds over the next 4-5 days.

There is so much that I have to be thankful for this year. Quite a few people I know are posting status updates on Facebook each day to say what they are thankful for. Its great to see but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. So, instead I am going to end this posting with a list of things I am thankful for.

1. Walter
2. My family.
3. His family.
4. My best friend.
5. A roof over my head.
6. A reliable car
7. Yummy food in my belly, ALL the time.
8. Fairly good health for me
9. An amazing doctor for both Walter and I
10. A great Chiropractor to keep me lined up.
11. A therapist that asks the tough questions but also knows when to just let me vent.
12. Health insurance to help me pay for it all.


I know this list should probably be so much longer. I know there must be more. I'll keep working on it. Maybe in a few day's I'll post some more.

I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving and that you are just coming out of a food coma at this time tomorrow.
