Getting ready for the feast day

Wednesday, November 27, 2013

I woke up this morning right around 10.  It sure was nice to 'sleep in' for a change!  Ron had gotten up this morning when Josh was going to drop Corgan off, and I just snoozed and snoozed.  I don't know why - I've been waking up around 8:30 pretty persistantly, but I did sleep in this morning, and it felt wonderful.

After getting up, we just hung around for a bit, then a little after noon, Ron called up to Rumpke to ask if the checks were in today, or not until Friday, but they were there today!  So, we decided to go to Georgetown and pick up his check, then go on up to Mt. Orab and get the big star for the front of our house at the Ole Mill Country Store - you know, the little store by the railroad tracks - and to go to lunch at Country Inn so I can have some Chicken N Dumplings!  Sounds like a plan to me!  Off we go...

Everything goes as we figured, and we had a very enjoyable time.
We get back home, and again, basically, just hang around all day, doing this and that, getting things ready for tomorrow.  I have done the dishes once again, and Ron and Corgan cut up the vegetables for my pretty turkey that will be demolished before dinner (it's made of vegetables and will be on the snack table, along with nuts and chips & a new pumpkin dip that I made tonight), and I also got all my good silverware and my Blue Willow china out of my china cabinet and washed up ready for tomorrow, too.  I think we've done everything that we can do in advance that we can.  Everything else will be done tomorrow (hahaha - later today now!)

I zapped the leftover Chicken N Dumplings for my supper.  I'm not sure what the guys had - I kept telling them to get SOMEthing, but have no idea what they ended up doing.  I was sitting in here, playing on the pute!

When I put all the food for the day on myfitnesspal, I was almost 700 short for the day!  I couldn't believe it!  The ONLY category I was over on was sodium.  That was kinda cool, but after my heart attack, I probably should start watching that a little better.  I will DEFINITELY have to look into lowering my calorie count after Thanksgiving!  And, yes, myfitnesspal hollered at me.  Ugh.

Today will get five stars for food, being so short on calories, and zilch for exercise.  I did do a lot of running around stuff here at home, but that doesn't count for much to anyone, or anything, but me.  

I have declared tomorrow a free day for me, for both food and blog - it's gonna be a busy day!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you - I hope your day is filled with family and friends and good food.  If nothing else, be thankful that you woke up this morning and are able to read this and know that someone loves you!

Because I do - I love you all.  I don't know how I know you, but I love each of you in some way.  Take that to heart - please.
