All-in-all this four-day weekend (Thurs & Fri were County holidays) was very nice.<br /><br />Oh boy… next comes Christmas.Brother Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064468156938526884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29872596.post-39340259143377648682009-11-30T02:21:38.963-05:002009-11-30T02:21:38.963-05:00Breakfast didn't go as hoped?
I think you'...Breakfast didn't go as hoped?<br />I think you're toying with me.<br /><br />Sorry Babe, but I have to brag about cha now.<br /><br />For those who don't know this: I have spent seven years in the Restaurant Biz, and I'm am quite an accomplished cook. <br /> I am not a good "helper" in the kitchen; I tend to turn into the kitchen boss, which I readily admit and which J knows, so I was asked to budd out of contributing to the cooking of the super secret menu.<br /><br /> Poor J; <br />I opened the door to the kitchen to discover a fog had over taken the room, and the air was rife with the scent of charred flesh. <br />I was met with the look of "keep your yap shut". Some of the readers here have received this look too!<br />I took this as my cue to make a coffee / paper run. When I returned, the fog had cleared and the food was ready. <br />The whole family partook, eventually. (those darn teenagers sleep in ya know!)I regret to say that J didn't hear her two oldest sons rant about the food selection available, and that their mom is awesome.<br /><br /> I agree with them! <br />It turns out J did all the above to impress me. <br /> I'm sorry, but I have to admit that I fell very short in showing my appreciation for her efforts.<br />(I did try to make up for this shortcoming by cleaning up the mess.)<br /><br />The point of my story is not how J created a fog in the kitchen, for I have done far worse myself!<br />(think fire!)<br />The point is not how J was trying her best to make a perfect, one size fit's all meal and she insisted she do it by herself. <br /><br />The point is that I'm in love with an awesome mom to her kids who still finds time to try to impress a guy who drives a truck!<br /><br />Or, it takes gut's to stick your neck out, not knowing the end result. <br /><br /> Baby, you impressed the heck out of me this weekend!<br />I agree with your sons; you are awesome!<br /><br /> Me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29872596.post-24885721445859434502009-11-29T20:33:54.823-05:002009-11-29T20:33:54.823-05:00I don't do Black Friday at all.

I did go out on Saturday and it was lovely quiet since the big rivalry football game was on - no one was out there! I got a few presents for my granddaughter and some curtains for the spare room.<br /><br />It was a good, but busy Thanksgiving. And it was nice to be able to slip out away from everyone and go visit Mom in the hospital.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.com
