[peaches9 3]

O.k. Ladies, don't expect to hear much from y'all today... you'll be busy stuffing turkey, and then stuffing the TURKEY down your gullets!!

Oh how I miss you all today!!! Have a wonderful time with Family, and Friends and know that this Crazy Canuck is with you all in SPIRIT if not the flesh!!!

Feeling Pretty good today, the little bit of swelling that I had around my mouth has subsided... still have to get a picture up on here to show you. DH still hasn't noticed!! Can you beleive it?

Actually, the change is quite subtle... I still look like ME just without the wrinkly upper lip.:ohmy:

Gosh, I never noticed that my NOSE looked so big.... It must be the lousy camera angle??? Crummy photographer!! LOL

Candice you are brave. I don't know if I could handle botox, I'm not fond of shots. How I manage to give myself 2 shots a week is beyond me. But it is in the outer thight AND I feel so much better.

Karla, the BOTOX shots don't hurt at all... they use the tinyest of needles.... very quick too.

Now for the work around my nose and mouth... they have to use freezing... just like at the dental office.. so no pain there either!

Janet, before I forget, I discovered that my local coffee roasters does mail order!! I like the medium roast of the espresso and have it ground to espresso size. I'm am trying the dark this week. It really is good. Here is the website if you can't find one locally.

Hunter Bay Coffee: Gourmet Coffee, Coffee Gifts & Wholesale Coffee from Missoula, Montana!

The house was shown today and the people's realtor called and left a message that the house showed well. I will be glad when my stomach no longer tightens into a vise when someone is looking. All I keep thinking is, "This is it, these people are going to buy my house! Now I can move on!" But if figure anyone who looks at a house during Thanksgiving week have to be serious lookers, so keep your fingers crossed. My stomach got so bad I had to go to the nurse for some antacid. I really think it was more of an anxiety attack than indegestion. I went into the library where one of my quilting friends works and had her rub my shoulders and did some deep breathing. I managed to get settled down and without too much pain before my class arrived. Tomorrow is early out and then I am getting my hair trimmed. DD#4 & I are going to 'highlight' each other's hair this weekend. I have watched the beautician do it with papers for years and I figure what the heck, I can do that. DD#4's will turn out good, but mine??? who knows.

Oh I am getting so excited about your showings... sounds like it won't be on the market long... and with that price, its something all first time homeowners can afford... so that is in your favor too.

Well, I'm home alone this evening DD#4 is off to a video night at a friends, and DD#5 is on her way to Wyoming to meet the boyfriends family. So I'll be sitting here grading papers and watching TV drinking darn good latte's. I couldn't eat lunch today, so tonight I think I'll go with something simple like my usual Breakfast and maybe some 100 cal kettle korn.

I'm off to take a shower, TTFN

Denise, Kari, Karri, Linda... all you lurking girls out there. be well and Happy Thanksgiving :ohmy: :confused:

Candice, we have a skift of snow, but not very noticable. The people liked the house and the realtor raved about it. But will probably NOT be making an offer, the bedrooms are too small. My realtor told me that this is excellent, I have had two showings in a week. Actually he finally said that the house seems to be priced correctly and that it is showing well. He reminded me that in the current market there are houses that don't have showings in 6 months. I know that with all the prayers that it will sell. THANK YOU! I pray everyday that God's will be done, AND that I will accept what he has planned. That is the hard part for me. Trying to stay positive without being demanding.

Good day at school. Got out at 2:05, then hair cut, then shower, then nap. Doesn't get much better.

Janet, I never make my pies until Thanksgiving day. This is my 1st band Thanksgiving so I will only be making one pie and YES I am eating a piece with homemade whip cream. I'll skip lunch and if the weather holds I will go for a long walk. We are having turkey, no dressing (neither DD#4 or I like dressing, mashed potatoes & gravy, and yams.

My small pants are too big, even with a belt I can't keep them up. So hopefully I will get a pair for Christmas. I have asked Santa for a pair of jeans.

Can you believe that Christmas is only 3 weeks away?

Phyl, I hope your birthday was fabulous!! My family never did much for birthdays. I think the last time my parents got me a gift was when I was 12 or 13. The last time my kids got a gift from them was when they were about the same age. My parents also don't give my girls Christmas presents. We are expected to give my parents gifts, but they NEVER reciprocate. Oh well, I'd blame it on mom, but dad doesn't do anything either.

Hope you all have fun on black friday. I will run to the roasters to pick up my coffee order and then back home. Shopping isn't in the budget.

Check in later, Phyl tell us all about your birthday! TTFN

Well I must be stressed to the max - just had a bad stick on salad - I think it's finally out and down - but I know I can't eat right now and I am hungry..

Karla - Neither my Son - GS or GD like stuffing/dressing so don't feel like the lone ranger - I make it cuz I like it - and it's thanksgiving we all are having pie...

You won't find me out shopping on Friday - I think I am going to the show w/Debbie & her daughter on Friday afternoon - while the kids are visiting DIL Mom..

The turkey will take 3 hrs - but gotta warm the ham - so will do that 1st - then cook the turkey - I have only one oven

I wouldn't mind going to the new Twilight movie. My students are really into the series, so if I go, then I have something to talk about with them.

Have my unit proposal almost done. Should have it done before bedtime. Then all I have to do is the review of another persons unit. That will take about 3 hours. Finish up with planning my next earth science unit and then I'll be done with school work.

Thanks so much for all your birthday wishes!! I had a GREAT fun-filled day! I had my very favorite spaghetti & meat balls for lunch at one of my favorite area restaurants... brought home enough leftovers for three more meals! Went to see "Blind Side" this afternoon.. great movie! Then Earl took me to Starbucks, and we ended the day at Walmart! I had phone calls from my Mom & Uncle Ed (who sang me their traditional birthday song), one of my sisters and all four kids (though one didn't seem to remember that it was my birthday)! I always had a birthday cake growing up, and even at 66, it doesn't seem like a birthday without birthday cake. So at Walmart I thought I'd buy myself a cupcake. But they had these little squares of birthday cake for $1.50, so I bought one! Perfect!!

I was serenaded with "Happy Birthday" at TOPS, at the restaurant here at our park... one of my friends was there and led everyone there in singing to me, all the Water aerobics folks, my SIL over the phone, grandkids.... over the phone, and Mom & Uncle Ed! What fun! I feel really loved!

Looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner with old friends tomorrow. They emailed me directions this afternoon, and turns out it's right down the street from Janet's.

Man, I'm the last one up this morning?? I did sleep in. Finished my unit proposal at about 11 pm, so it is sent off. Woke up this morning and realized I forgot to take the turkey out of its Water bath. I had forgotten to take it out of the freezer, so put it in a tub of cold water to 'safely' thaw it. Away I hope it doesn't give us good poisoning. I'm not stuffing it, so I think I will throw some apple chunks in the cavity. Will make pumpkin pie after breakfast.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

LOVE THE DRESSED UP DOXIES too cute :thumbup:

Pie is in the oven, I have forgotten the sugar for the last 10 years. Usually end up pulling the pie out part way through, this year NO difference. DD#4 razed me about forgetting the sugar and good thing she did, forgot the darn sugar. At least it was before I put it in the shell. Had to run to the store to get shortening for the crust. I have been doing such little baking since I got the band, I didn't realize I was out.

Little miss molly has been sick all morning, shivering and vomiting. Hopefully she will bounce back, don't want to think about having to take her to the emergency vet.

Enjoy your families! TTFN
