It’s Thanksgiving this weekend!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The weather is absolutely GORGEOUS! \u00a0The fall colors add to the beauty that greets me when I step outside.<\/p>\n

I am tired from a busy, make that extremely busy, week. \u00a0The weekend is copying the week… but it is just as well as it keeps my mind from focusing too much on my up coming visit to the OR. \u00a0Actually, I am not even too stressed about the surgery as much as the IV. \u00a0I hate needles. \u00a0I have not missed the irony, being a diabetic.<\/p>\n

This Thanksgiving weekend is at our house. \u00a0Sanj’s high school friend is here, with two of his sons, \u00a0to celebrate Thanksgiving. \u00a0The house is busting at the seams with the already overflowing testosterone. My in-laws will be here today for turkey and all the trimmings… and my mom will be following them shortly after.<\/p>\n

I have two turkeys ready for the oven because all the big ones were frozen and would have never thawed by our dinner. \u00a0I do this every year… you’d think I’d learn. \u00a0 I need to just buy a big turkey and then plan on thawing it.<\/p>\n

I am not a huge lover of turkey… a bite or two of dark meat and I am set. \u00a0I just love \u00a0all the trimmings… the stuffing… my absolute favourite… that yummy green bean casserole with French’s fried onions, squash, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy… drowning my food. \u00a0I’m making myself hungry.<\/p>\n

It’s a lot of work. \u00a0My feet are achy. \u00a0They haven’t really recovered from the exhaustion they felt this week. \u00a0How sad that a stay in the hospital actually sounds restful? lol<\/p>\n

Did I mention it’s beautiful outside? \u00a0Being a Canadian, we really appreciate the surprise of a warm fall day, weekend, rather than the surprise of snow! \u00a0The fair is this weekend too. \u00a0Josh insists that we go, as he has something displayed there. \u00a0He doesn’t even consider us not<\/em> going! lol<\/p>\n

Last night I put both turkeys in the oven at 200\u2109 and let it cook all night. \u00a0It is almost done and this leaves the oven free for my many other sides. \u00a0I hope it is yummy.<\/p>\n

I am all over the place in this post, I realize. \u00a0I am just needing to write and yet find my thoughts scattered. \u00a0So let me just say that I am so grateful for …<\/p>\n

*A great life<\/em><\/p>\n

*Health for myself and all those I love…<\/em><\/p>\n

* My loving husband…<\/em><\/p>\n

*My boys… who keep my life as unpredictable as it can get…<\/em><\/p>\n

*My family…<\/em><\/p>\n

My friends… they make my world a happy place…<\/em><\/p>\n

My computer… self explanatory, isn’t it?<\/em><\/p>\n

For a God, who loves me in-spite of myself.<\/em><\/p>\n

For long weekends!<\/em><\/p>\n

Happy Thanksgiving!<\/strong><\/p>\n
