giving thanks

sorry it's been so long, but lots going on.

turkey day was great -- mom & dad arrived early, and we had a nice midnight chat. then i had a couple of days before the atlanta crew showed up. turkey day consisted of everyone cooking and kids running around and food (of course). i believe the tv was even turned on for a bit of football, but i'm not 100% sure...

friday everyone came here for dinner to celebrate mom's 60th birthday. all went well until dessert when i cut my foot open on a piece of glass. i had two great doctors (my music man and my father -- who could ask for more?!). and determined that no visit to the emergency room was necessary. i'm now walking with barely any limp.

saturday saw an early departure for mom and dad and the atlanta folks, i went back to bed and then proceeded to sit on the couch all day. felt good. my music man came over for dinner and to make sure i was staying off the foot. sunday saw another lazy day. and my man left late in the day. helping out to his car with clean clothes and some food for his evening meal, we found his driver door open, all the change cleared out and his ipod stolen. not only did i feel responsible for this theft, but it scared me since it took place in my driveway!

if only the flood light worked, if only he had brought his ipod into the house, if only, if only...but we do have to give thanks that neither of us caught the thief in action, who knows what could have happened -- no telling what they might have done if one of us had stood in his or her way.

so neither of us is harmed, and i give thanks that my family all arrived home safely, and so did his.

now i start preparations for a holiday party on 12/16, getting all my gifts purchased for christmas, and baking cookies!

hope everyone's turkey was moist and filling.
