Thursday....original title, eh?

Well, a week from today we will all be sitting down to tables full of delicious food, with family and friends, remembering what we are thankful for. According to my comment section, people are most thankful for green bean casserol and mashed potatoes! LOL....I have to say, I am not a huge fan of the potatoes! Isn't that strange? Most people love them. This year my mom is making a perogi potato casserol instead of mashed potatoes. I'm telling you, it tastes like one huge perogi....delicious! I caved last night and made sweet potatoes as a side dish....I was trying to hold out till Thanksgiving, but they just looked so good! LOL. I didn't prepare them like I do for the actual holiday....I just put them in a casserol dish along with brown sugar and maple syrup. I did, however, top them with marshmallows....yum!

Betsy is staying after school today to see the school play. She gets extra credit in drama class if she attends. She also told me she is trying out for the spring play. I was in theater in high school and I loved it. I think she would have a lot of fun. She was also nominated for an award for two of her pictures in her photography class. I am so proud of her! I haven't seen the prints yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing them. She is leaning toward a career in journalism, which I think would really fit her personality. She has an eye for detail and a flair for the dramatic....but then, most teens are rather dramatic, aren't they? LOL....especially when she has me for a mother....

It is going to be 79-80 for the next few days. I knew that was going to happen. I will bet you a sweet potato pie that it's 80 again this year on Thanksgiving. Yuck! Well, if it is, I just hope it is cloudy and rainy. At least that will make up for the warm weather. I like my Thanksgivings cold, wet and cozy!

There isn't much going on today....kids are at school, dh is at work, and I'm sitting here while the dog scratches himself. He really annoys me with that. He does it at night, and growls whilst doing it. It wakes dh up and I end up throwing a pillow at him. (the dog, not the dh)

I actually have a sweatshirt on! I'm so excited. Of course, I haven't been outside since I put it on this morning, so I probably don't need it anymore. Yesterday, I was sitting in the computer room, on the couch and I noticed the outside of the windows looked smudged. So, I got my step ladder and went around the entire house and cleaned all the windows. I forgot all about it until just now....dang it! I wanted to see how they looked as the sun was coming in. Now I have to wait for tomorrow morning to check the back of the house. I hate when I do that! I'm happy with this window though....it's so clear. I'm just waiting for the first bird to fly mach 5 into it. I've never had that happen before, thankfully (not just for me, but the bird too!).

Okay, time to get down to business. I think I'll go get my book, sit my lazy butt down, and read for a while. Please! No one call 911, I'm alright....I am actually going to relax for a while....I know, I'm just as amazed as you are, but it does happen occasionally!

Have a good one....
