Thanksgiving Weekend

Hello, how was your Thanksgiving?  We had a nice long weekend. Thursday was spent at the inlaws and we had a nice day. It was just our immediate group this year, Todd’s parents, Todd’s brother and his wife, and the 2 of us.  We watched the Macy’s parade while I made the hashbrown casserole and I grabbed a Starbucks earlier that morning.  I loved not having to rush and just appreciate the day.

I did not take part of any Black Friday shopping.  There’s just not anything that we have to have that is worth long lines and crazy hours.  On Friday, Todd and I went to our annual movie outing together and saw Bohemian Rhapsody.  Have any of you seen it yet? I genuinely loved it!! I thought it was well done and holy cow- the guy that played Freddie Mercury and the guy who played Brian May were SOOO good!   After I saw the movie, I went online to read more about it. The lead guy learned how to play piano and he also sang but they mostly dubbed in Freddie’s voice for the songs.

This is one of my fave Queen songs: Show must go on! 

On Saturday, we got the Christmas tree out of storage and got the lights on it and we put the decorations on it Sunday after church.  Saturday evening, I got to join my cousin and her 2 daughters to see the Nutcracker in Dallas.  It was Outstanding and I really enjoyed it. At one point in a scene, they had fake snow fall from the ceiling into the audience.  Great special effects for a Ballet!

When we first entered the Winspear Opera House, the backdrop was kinda creepy if you really looked at the whole thing.  I loved it of course because it had the eerie factor like Halloween. 

Sunday night , the 6 of us got together again at an Italian restaurant to celebrate my mother n law's birthday.  It was fun evening and a nice way to end the holiday weekend.  And then , it was time to get back into the work mode.  I’ve been really busy this week training classes and I’m off again tomorrow and Friday to prepare for my junk show I do twice a year. I am not ready this time.  Yall, that work trip to St Louis for 10 days seriously put me so behind on everything.  I am just going to wing it and hope I at least break even for the price of the entry fee.  Wish me luck!!

Thanksgiving 2018

Hey there, I just cant believe that thanksgiving week is already upon us!! Seriously it felt like Halloween was just last week ( it could be that I still have all my Halloween decorations up because I haven’t had time to take it down).  I get very excited to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade.  I would watch it every year as a kid and never missed it. Then fast forward to when I was a freshman in college, I got to dance in the parade with my college drill team.  One of the most unforgettable moments of  my life!

Then fast forward to adulthood, I think it was 8 or 9 years ago, I went with a friend and was a spectator in the crowd in NYC to see it firsthand.  I still get chills when I see the Rockettes perform and I get so much joy watching the parade.  We’re heading over to the In-laws for lunch and I’ll be bringing my cheesy hashbrown casserole as per tradition.

I am so very thankful for many things! Here is my list:

I am thankful for my husband, my grandmas, my cousins, my mom, my dogs, my health, my job, my church, sweet tea, music, books, my friends, my blogging friends, music, nieces, starbucks lattes, Mexican food, the stars, sunsets, sunrises, my boots, my day planner, cheese, mascara, eyeliner, spray lotion, fuzzy socks, granny’s quilt, long purses, comfy bras, my favorite rings, music, social media.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Be Safe and be kind.
