Wow! I can't believe it has been so long since I've posted.  My computer I am afraid is in dear need of being replaced for a new model.  It's hit or miss when I try to use it to actually be able to get a decent Internet connection and actually be able to get pages to pull it. Sometimes I just throw my hands up and say it's not worth it!  Since, I don't think I'm going to find a new one under my tree this year, I'll have to start saving my pennies for a new one for 2009.

I've got the Christmas Spirit bug this year! Something I haven't been able to say for a long time. I've got my Christmas shopping done except for a few small little things (think $5 items or less). I've got a few wrapped and I am enjoying the process of getting out my Christmas goodies and beginning to decorate.  Keaton spent the day with me Friday and we had a ball listening to Christmas music, coloring, wrapping presents, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Christmas spirit in his eyes. Since I don't have children of my own, it's nice to be able to have him in my life to see these things through a child's eyes.

Thanksgiving was thankfully quite. I made a tasty turkey and we are still eating leftovers. Turkey Divan for supper last night and now I'm wondering where I put that recipe for Turkey Tetrazinni. I did venture out to a couple of stores Friday for the sales, but it was a quick in and quick out. I don't have the stomach anymore for the all day fighting the crowds on Black Friday. Something I noticed missing this year is none of our local radio stations played Christmas music! WTF! It has always been a tradition that the day after Thanksgiving the local stations played Christmas music all day long. It always put everyone in the mood as you went out shopping. I guess apparently that tradition must have grown old, but I missed it.

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
