Happy Turkey Day!

Hello all! Happy Thanksgiving! Hope this finds you all either stuffed or preparing to be stuffed. I am of the latter. Dinner is almost done and the house smells heavenly. It is just me and DH this year...and of course all of the babies...I haven't updated on the animal front in a while. We currently are up to 5 cats (still just B and Will in the dog department). This outdoor cat that adopted me (I may have mentioned her before) moved in on Labor Day weekend because of a mishap with motor oil and on Tuesday morning, she added 2 more to the clan. Ok, now I will back away from the tangent....

I have been cooking most of the day. Don't get me wrong I haven't been doing THAT much work...but I do have a ham, dressing, greens, deviled eggs and I will making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. YUMMY!

As for as the thankful part of today, I am thankful for a lot...for everything I have. DH, my babies, my friends, my health, my family, everything. Okay enough of the sappy stuff....

Besides it is time to go back to watching the Cowboys game!!!! And dinner is ready!

Later days!

So I didn't make it back...

Okay guys! Sorry I didn't make it back on Samhain...I was furiously typing a paper that I had to finish and then I was with my group pouring all of my energy into my feast. Anyway...Hope everyone had a beautiful holiday and are enjoying the fall weather.

I haven't had a training/weight stuff update in a while so...I am up to running a 5k (that's 3.1 miles!). And I actually run the whole thing. (Just in case I never mentioned it before the most I have ever ran at one time is the length of a basketball court!) DH and I are riding about 25 miles on the road bikes. I have been slacking a bit these past few weeks, school (as I mentioned before) has been a bit demanding. I am down to a size 14 (started at 22) pants! :D Yippee!

Well unfortunately it is time to work on yet another paper... Later days!
