My poor hubby is sick today.  Of course we knew something was going to happen because my day was good yesterday and his was icky.  Let me explain.  It always seems that if things are going well for him they tend to go bad for me and vice versa.  For example, if he loses some weight then I gain, if he has a bad day at work something good happened on my end.  It's almost like we have to be the opposite balance in each others cosmos.

As far as I am concerned my holiday decorating is complete.  Yesterday I put up all the lights and garland outside and today I trimmed our tree.

I kept it simple this year and cut out the ribbon.  It doesn't look as finished with out it, but I wasn't about to chance dangling ribbon with two cats.& ...

Here are the pictures from Thanksgiving that I promised.

Here Scott is helping Travis set up his own website!

We missed swing dancing again last night, which we seem to have a habit of doing lately.  We end up saying we will go and then we don't.  I think our motivation has dropped for wanting to be there.  That was going to be part of my exercising yesterday since I also missed the gym.  Lot of good that did me!

I skipped the gym yesterday to brave the massive crowds and I didn't find this last present I still need.  I ...

I am sitting here eating some stuffing from last nights dinner which was at my parents.  It's funny how leftovers can taste great if they are consumed sparingly and your parents made them.  For me that is how it works.  I only like holiday leftovers, since it tends to be food you don't get all the time, same goes for it being made by your parents.  For those of you that still live at home and have a family member that is a decent cook, you will understand what I mean when you move out.

Happy Thanksgiving! 

I hope you all eat good meals till you burst!  We are off to my parent's house this evening for dinner.  I am in the process of making pumpkin pie.  Here's to hoping the crust turns out well.  I have only made one other pie from scratch before (app ...

I was surprised that I was able to make it out of bed at all today, let alone before 9 a.m.  These past three days made me never want to see alcohol again...well almost.

I tend, like most people, to drink a lot less the older I get.  So when you have three days worth of outings, and they all involve drinking, you better be ready for a hang over on at least one of those mornings.  I had not anticipated that the hang over would com ...

It appears Wegmans will be my useful store for all our future wine club tastings.  Since our first session is this weekend, I went to the store today to get cheese, baguettes and ingredients for bruschetta.  Not only did Wegmans have the cheese Michelle D. said I would never find, they had a massive selection of others.  I purchased one type for each bottle to be at the tasting. 

I wish cheese wasn't so expensive ...

The wee hours of this morning brought massive winds and tons of rain.  My cats must have gone into playful prancing mode without me noticing.  The rain can often cause them to go into this heightened hyper state and chase each other around.  When you have come in from a late night and are still in deep sleep it appears you really will sleep through anything.

I woke up this morning with these very faint little scratches over my che ...

<------ a lot of these are now missing on my site.

You're getting a lot of little squares with X's in them.  I did this for a reason.  I deleted all my icons that I couldn't remember where I got them from and am starting fresh.

I originally could not figure out how to credit the makers of the icons I was using on my site.  Now I have found a wa ...
