Happy Thanksgiving week! Do you ever say things like “Thanksgiving is next week!” and in the
following sentences you say stuff like “and such
and such will be up on the blog?” But it doesn’t really sink in that it’s
really Thanksgiving week until two days before Thanksgiving. I’m one of those people who say stuff like
that not really thinking about it and then panics because I now realize how
much shit needs to be done and blogging is put on the back burner once again.
Sorry for the crappy pictures but here’s the
Radicals turkey pumpkins we made a couple (or maybe one) of weeks ago. We got these pumpkins the weekend before
Halloween and I didn’t want to just throw it out because they were still
good. I thought it was a fun project but
the Radicals gave up two minutes into cutting out the pieces. In the end I was the one who cut them out and
they got to color and stick the pieces onto the pumpkin. Here’s the link if you want to try it out
next year.
We have a busy week so I probably won’t be back
until next week. Me and my big Betty
Crocker mouth thought it was a grand idea to make pumpkin pies and cookies and
now? I’m kicking myself because 1) I’ve
never made a pumpkin pie in my life and 2) I have so much stuff (like homework
and laundry and cleaning) to complete before we leave on Thursday. I’m praying for myself and for those who will
eat the pies. It can’t be that hard
right?
And since I’ve been seeing the ‘What I’m
Thankful For’ lists going around, I thought I’d say what I’m thankful for too. Not to get off track or anything, but I want
to work on being thankful every day, not just during this time of year. I mean, I’m thankful every day but I don’t
get all sappy like I do now. Anyway, I’m
thankful for…
…my Radicals.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, they are my world. If not for them, I wouldn’t be who I am today
and I wouldn’t have learned all that they have taught me. Love, patience, multi-tasking, how to open
the eyeballs that has miraculously grown on the back of my head.
…the Mister.
Without him, I wouldn’t have Radicals and the fact that I know more
about fishing than I’d actually like to know.
LOL!
…the parentals.
Advice, guidance, and always being there for us. Life lessons and the times I thought I was
getting the crappy end of the stick which prompted the dramatic “my parents are soooo unfair!!!”
…my brothers.
They make my life that much more interesting.
…my besties.
We’ve been through a lot of ups and downs and in the end, we still are
besties that will grow old together hanging out in our rocking chairs on the
front porch drinking our brew and shamelessly hollering and waving our canes at
the luscious young eye candy that pass by.
…my Momo.
The sister I never had even though we rarely see each other. I’m looking forward to the for real coffee
dates and hang out sessions that will come soon. Very, very soon.

…the SIL.
Without her, I wouldn’t have my very first nephew. And it’s like having another sister I never
had.

…the rain.
I’ve never been so grateful for rain until I moved here because it fills
up my tank.
Okay, so this post was longer than I
expected. Sorry. There is so much more I am thankful for but I'll be kind and stop now.
I hope y’all have a Happy, Happy Thanksgiving. Eat lots of yummy food. Enjoy the time with your family and friends.
And we can’t forget my beloved Macy’s Day
Parade!!! I’m on a mission again to make
it to Kona before it starts. I just need
to give the Mister a really good excuse as to why we have to leave before the crack
of dawn. I’ll be happy to be the driver
while my family peacefully sleeps.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Jenn.
