Plans for the Thanksgiving Holiday

What are your plans for Thanksgiving, how are you planning on dealing with the day?  I have a list of several things I plan to do tomorrow.  What is on your list?

1.  Work night shift and be thankful that I have a job.
2. Sleep in the morning, at least part of it.
3. Go out for the holiday meal with my husband and inlaws.  Thankful that neither of us is going nuts cleaning house, no leftovers to deal with either, well, I may have a take out box from my meal for hubby to snack on.
4. Take the dogs for a nice walk, thankful for the lack of snow here up north in MN.
5. Take time to reflect on all things that I am thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

i have to work 7a -7p then home to have my hungry man dinner
nothing more no one special to spend it with

Happy Thanksgiving Mark,  I would have you join us for the meal if we lived closer.  Please take care.  Hope you find someone special for sharing your life.  I also work night shift, only 8 hour shift though (11-7am).  Hard to connect with folks that work routine 'normal' hours.  How are  things progressing with your presurgery weight loss?  Do you do any cooking at home?  I know that cooking for one is a challenge, even cooking for 2 is, when one of us eats light like I do since surgery.  My husband doesn't always try the things that I crave for eating.

Take care, Kathy

kathy thank you for the invite
i normaly work 7 a -3p tuesday through saturday  so my days or normal i guess
i have my youngest son ( he is 18) wwith my on the wekends so i do cook a little on the weekends
 i have trying to do better about my eating habits no i dont cook much when i am alone i have bought a small george forman grill i love it i can cook a chicken breast real fast on it  and then i have salids and a side of rice most of the time

Ohhh Mark! That is not right! If you lived closer I'd insist you come to my place and spend it with us! So sorry you will be alone for the holiday. I will hold you in my heart!

Kathy, sounds like you have a very nice full day planned for yourself. I hope you really enjoy your Thanksgiving, even tho it may differ from those in the past a bit.

My plans: My daughter and her BF, my son, his wife and my 2 grandbabies, then a couple that is friends with my son and his wife, then myself and my hubby...will be spending the holiday here, starting in the later afternoon. Candice and her BF are coming earlier so she can help me prepare dinner for everyone, and the pies are in the oven baking now.. (no not for me!)

I will be busy busy for sure! But enjoy family gatherings so much.

 

Happy Turkey day! Remember to count your blessings and give thanks

Here I am, getting ready to take my nap before work.  Thinking that I am so thankful for my job, resting when I can, family and dear friends.  Eating out with my husband and in-laws was nice.  We got a chance to chat and catch up.  Found out that my brother-in-law is in the hospital and getting better, stopped up to visit him and drop off a card, walked the dogs from home to the hospital and back.  Weather is nice for late November, I even saw a night-crawler 2 days ago.  Snow any day now, I can wait a looooooong time for the snow.  Not ready to start shoveling anyway.

Being able to just walk away from the table and not deal with dishes or leftovers was nice, relaxing.  I had time to reflect on all the things that I am thankful for.  The list is very, very long, not going to bore you with the pages and pages of things.  Successful Thanksgiving day in my opinion.  I am satisfied, relaxed and thankful.

Have the best weekend everyone.  Do not overdo the shopping, if that is your thing in the morning.  I will stay home to sleep after work and leave the fun to those who are so ready for the shopping. 

I am so Blessed.  Hugs, Kathy
