Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a wonderful holiday!

My computer

My computer has started making some very strange noises. It sounds like a Cessna reving up for take off. I have a bad feeling that the hard drive is about to crash. Now I will have to unplug everything, drag it all downstairs and take it into my office so the IT woman can check it out for me. I guess it would be better to copy all the files off BEFORE it crashes.

I think I will be at Best Buy purchasing another hard drive this week. It's always something...

Anyone see "60 Minutes" last night?

Barack and Michelle Obama - finally a "real" couple in the White House! I loved their easy bantering back and forth. I love the true affection and dedication they have to their daughters. I am so happy this man is going to be our President...or have I mentioned that before?!

The countdown to Thanksgiving has begun. Dinner is a my house with my youngest son and his family, my parents and my brother and his daughter. I already know who eats what...or won't eat whatever. I have lists with the menu and recipes. I have a list of what china pieces I will use. I have a check list with a timetable down to what linens need to be ironed and by what day. (I am SO anal about stuff like this. I keep notebooks with dinner party guests, menus, what worked and what didn't going all the way back to when I lived in Seattle.)

I do the 2-1/2 hour turkey baking recipe. Have you seen it? It is truly amazing and the turkey comes out so moist and delicious. If you don't have the recipe and would like a copy, let me know and I will send it to you. The best part is that if you only have one oven, you can get the turkey done and kept warm while you use the oven for other things!

Nothing

I am not thinking about anything! I could bemoan the state of our economy or gloat over the in-fighting in the RNC. I won't - but I could. Maybe the Presidential campaign wore me out. Maybe I am still caught up in some post-election euphoria.

It's just not like me not to have something to bitch about...

OBAMA!!

For once, I am nearly without words. I feel such a sense of joy and hope. I am uplifted and am so thankful that this historical event happened in my lifetime.

What I will be doing today...
