Shrinking Violets - Part 5!

[mdrai 3]

Your day sounds like mine, Laura... I woke up & started baking! IToday I need to make: molasses sugar Cookies, French apple pie, pumpkin roll, caramel pecan, coconut cream pie, 6 pumpkin breads & 2 dozen pumpkin/cream cheese muffins (for the horse show today, oh yeah, I have time to go to a horse show... :ohmy:).

Tomorrow I'll do the green bean cassarole, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed pots, gravy and oh yeah, the turkey!

I've already done the muffins & 3 pump breads... I *thought* the cookies, too, but they're a mess because I put in twice as much butter as I was supposed to & caught the mistake too late (when the cookie sheet came out of the oven w/1 big cookie all oozed together on the pan). But it tastes great -- I crumbled it up & put it all in a zip bag to use as crumbles on top of ice cream! When life hands you molasses sugar cookie goo, make topping!

I'm taking a break now... I need to SLOW down when I re-enter the kitchen!!

My editor sent me 2 "urgent" chapters, as well this morning! WTF?

Hope you're all doing well in your kitchens!!

Good morning girls~

Woke at 6 w/ intentions of working out...stayed in bed w/ Sus until 7:45 instead. Those days are too few to pass up. Gonna skip the gym. I can't workout again until Monday anyway cause of the Lipo. Monday is pushing it, but I am going to go.

Went out last night and had 2 margies w/ some friends...it was nice to start the 5 day weekend that way. I was told NO DRINKS...but I did anyway...o well!

I need to go to the grocery store for some this and that and get gas. I have about 6 papers to grade and then post the grades. I want this done so I can not worry about it.

Waiting for Adam Lambert on the early show. Love him!!!

Going to see Old Dogs this weekend too!

Having my procedure @ 4pm (they just called and changed it).

WISHING ALL THE V'S THE HAPPIEST AND SAFEST HOLIDAYS!

LOVE YOU GIRLS!

XOXOXOXO

Good evening, Violets..

I've been in bed all day. Got up feeling queasy and dizzy so I took a motion sickness pill and went back to bed. I slept until 3 this afternoon. Luckily we did not have Ethan and I had no appointments or meetings today.

I wrote the eulogy for my friend that will be delivered by the head of the teacher's union on Saturday. I think I am just stressed out about everything and my body needed to recharge. I haven't had anything to eat today so I guess that's a good thing.

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. We are going to Kris's at noon for the rest of the day and evening. Then we leave for our get away Friday morning and won't be back until Monday afternoon.

Love and hugs to you all!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Violets! I am thankful for the true friendship and caring that we share. Peace be with each of you and your families today.

By 3pm we had dinner (turkey, mashed pots, steamed zuccini, gravy and rolls) and already cleaned up! Now...relaxing while we digest a bit so we can get in some cheesecake and peach frozen yougart! Life is great!

Feel much better after 2 naps this morning. The swelling has gone down and the bruising has started. Plus, by face is purple from his marker, lol.

Hope everyone is enjoying family and laughter today! love love love you!

Good evening, Violets.

Just got home from Kris and Nathans. food was wonderful. I snickled some before we ate so of course after my first bite, I had to pb. sighhh.. I only ate a bite of stuffing, squash, corn pudding and sweet potatoes. Of course I ate a whole piece of butterscotch pie. siggggghhhhhhhhhh again.

I feel better at least. Tomorrow we leave for a 4 day getaway. We have to come back for the funeral, but then will return to the hotel after that.

I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing day even if you had to cook all day!!! Family time is the best. Grady giggled, Ethan sang and Bob behaved. It doesn't get much better than that. Of course if the Lions had won it would have been great. Also a miracle.

Everyone have a good evening.. sleep well.
