Oh dear...

It has been ages since I've posted anything. I am completely inconsistent and frightfully unorganized.

Things this year have been complicated for me and it has kept me from most everything and weirdly everything is ok. It always amazes me how resilient mankind is. You can have setbacks, trauma, and horrible circumstances go on in your life and yet still carry on. That's how it's been for me. Setbacks.. circumstances.. not so much trauma unless you count my emotions and the turmoil that goes on there. Yet I can still wake up each day and find at least one thing to be thankful for.

but I won't bore you with my drama.

I was reading through one of the blogs I read regularly and I came across a post about Punjammies. So off I got to the website to do some browsing. Needless to say I was super happy I did. The cause is amazing and the product is lovely. I knew I wanted some punjammies after I saw them, but I wanted them even more after reading the reason behind them.  I purchased the ones shown above, but they go quickly so you have to buy while they have the color and fabric that you like.  I love them. They're super comfy and more lovely than just wearing my regular yoga pants. :)
 and their motto is -- Wear Punjammies. Wear Hope. 

Thanksgiving

There's nothing better than the week of Thanksgiving. I think I like the holiday more because it's so close to my birth date. I get to celebrate getting old and then be thankful for getting old. How great is that?

I am very excited about this Thanksgiving. My cousin and his family are going to be at my house this year and I am cooking a turkey for maybe the second time in my entire life. I'm planning on making a turkey recipe that I saw on the food network -- done by Sandra Lee (who quite frankly annoys the heck out of me for no other reason than she's the queen of overdone tables).

I'm also making green-bean casserole, cranberry salad (from a recipe passed down from my grandmother to my mother), mashed potatoes, and ham. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but my brain is shot. I spent all of yesterday evening cleaning my over-cluttered house. I am completely and utterly exhausted.
Not that rest is anywhere in my near future... as baking, cooking, peeling, cleaning etc. are on the list of things to do tomorrow. Plus I will have to get up early to get the turkey started 4-6 hours to cook/bake something in the oven good lord, I hope I have enough time and do not over sleep.

I'm not stressed. :)

really.

*collapses in a heap*

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
