I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving and had a great meal.  We just finished ours up.  Harold’s turkey was tender and juicy.  I went back for 2nds (my portions are small) even though I shouldn’t have and knew I won’t be able to finish it.  I was letting my taste buds overrule my better judgment…..grin..but it is turkey day, so why not?

We are just having a quiet day at home.  It is Harold’s birthday.  So I also made him his upside down pineapple cake that he loves along with our pumpkin pie.  I got him a dvd on the Colt’s Superbowl season, a few xbox games & a drill bit set.

I’m feeling better on breathing….still not fully normal.  Still going through a bit of tissue…which sucks.  But I’m not using as much meds.  =)

We finally got our bedroom set!  Holy cow, I’m so glad that this came when I was home.  I have no idea how Harold would’ve handled it on his own.  It was on 2 pallets (that luckily the driver was nice enough to keep), 6 pieces with the total weight of 1500#…icks.  One piece was 175#.  We unloaded the semi on the driveway during some big wind gusts, brought the pieces in, while they were downstairs unpacked them….holy cow…we now have 6 bags of Styrofoam and 6 huge bundles of cardboard.  Of course, it now needs to stay in the garage until next week, since it is too damn windy to put it outside, and since trash day was yesterday…..lol  It took us longer to clean up after the trash then it did to put it together.  But we didn’t find any damage to the set….which amazed us.

We got it together.  Not many pieces and easy to figure out, just heavy. The bedroom seems empty with only 1 dresser……..lol  And even though I have empty the other dressers and took things from the closet shelves, we still have some drawer room….very cool.  The clothes move took me less time then I thought it would.

Holy cow, that bed is higher then I thought it would be.  With the mattress, it comes to my hip, luckily the bed came with a step stool.  But it nice as hell not to be sleeping on a mattress on the floor.  =)  It is so nice to finally have our bedroom put together.

I called and talked to my family today.  I always have to pester them on the holidays………lol….even though I’m seeing them in less then a week.

I’m starting to stress…..we have work that we need to do for our business, I have work to do with my job, plus get ready for payroll that needs to be ordered Sunday/Monday, pack, balance our books, put my tree up, get the xmas cards done and my nails….icks…freak out time.  I will be starting full steam ahead tomorrow.  Which I need to start off with going to the gym since it has been a week…between being sick and then waiting on a delivery for 2 days…gggrrr I’m not happy about that, especially since I won’t be going to the gym the 3-14th….not good.

Trying to stay out of the office most of the day and moved my laptop to the living room.  I’m going to close this and work on moving some pictures around on my hard drive.  =)

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Well, Purdue lost horribly.  Knew we were going to lose, but this was ugly.  I couldn’t even finish watching it.  =(  It is going to be a very ugly season for us.  At least Penn St won over Michigan…..but it took almost a whole half before Penn St showed up.

We got our election ballot Saturday!  Very cool.  We have been wondering when it would show up.  We had received all of our Oregon Voter’s Guides which is something that I find very useful.  So we spent a few hours researching and voting.  I really like the fact that Oregon does it by mail, gives you time to research it when deciding.  I dropped them off at the Post Office this evening.  So we have done our part…..now we just have to wait for the results.

Harold made his vegetable beef soup that I love.  I had 2 bowls of that aday and it hit the spot.  =)

I was horrible this weekend and didn’t go for a walk.  That is not good….and even though it was chilly, it was still beautiful out.

The cats are doing much better. Reggie and Alexis are allowing the other 2 close to them without getting too close.  Even got a picture of Sakura sleeping next to Reggie’s back.  I don’t think Reggie really knew it……..lol  Drew is the instigator….grin  He is so cute when causing trouble.  We woke up this morning to the kittens right between us and Reggie was between my legs…..neither one of us could move….lol  What is funny is that we never realized how large Alexis & Reggie were until we got the kittens….they are huge when next to them.

I finally got some work done today….I feel like it is a little more under control.  But that will change tomorrow.  I really need to sign us up for insurance tomorrow.  That will be my goal.  I just don’t look forward to all the info that I’m going to have to fill out.

My dad finally got a myspace account.  I’ve been wanting to set him up on that for the instant message system that they use.  I use that one for friends & family only.

We love the fact that Colin Powell endorsed Obama!  That is huge!  And the timing is excellent.
