Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great one at our house. Lots of great food and conversation. Good times! :) We only had 4 people at our house, but I still made a LOT of food.. we love leftovers! My sister's friend, who came to the dinner, claimed it was the best Thanksgiving dinner he ever had, so that made me happy!

I didn't do any shopping on Black Friday, and after reading this story, I am really glad I didn't! I can't believe how greedy and horrible people can be. It really makes me sick to hear about it and I hope the police can press charges on the people responsible (all of them). They deserve to go to jail, IMO.

In happier news, I did get some great yarn that I ordered for Christmas gifts in the mail yesterday! I don't have any pictures of it now, but I will take some to share in the next post. Instead, I'll leave you with a picture of our Thanksgiving table:

Finished gloves and T-Day

Turkey Day is approaching and I am so excited! I absolutely love Thanksgiving. Making turkey, stuffing, yams, and so many other yummy things just makes me happy. This year there will only be 4 people here - compared to last year's 9 - but that's still fun! I have bought lots of good wine and a fresh turkey and now it's time to start working on my schedule for the day. I hate being behind on the cooking, so I'll make a very detailed schedule with what needs to be done when. I hope it will make me less stressed... that and a glass (or two) of wine while cooking!

It's been absolutely FREEZING here in NYC. It's very strange for this time of year, but it looks like it's finally thawing out to a normal November temperature. Though of course accompanied by tons of rain... blech. The good news is that it's not too cold so it's just the PERFECT weather for me to break out my finished fingerless gloves/wrist warmers! I am absolutely in love with them. My first pair ever AND I get to wear them this year too! Yay!





Kubrick decided that he just HAD to get in a picture... after all, mom was using his ball (and his bed!) for a shot and he wanted them back!
