[Tribble79]

Just checking in quickly. I am in the middle of trying to get some Christmas gifts finished! Nothing like waiting till the last minute to get started! LOL, Have a wonderful Wednesday all, and have a great Thanksgiving....

[ImmaFreek]

Checking in. I started my new medicine last night. Yesterday morning I went for the 1hour glucose test. They just called and said that it came back high, so they need me to go and do the 3 hour test next week.

 

Other than that I'm doing ok. Hope everyone has a good holiday.

Tomorrow is turkey day   we are cooking and the kids are coming over.  It's suppose to be very cold tomorrow and I'm thankful I won't have to leave the house.

 

Happy Turkey Day Eve.

Hi all! Thanksgiving isn't until tomorrow and I'm already exhausted. LOL I like to do a lot of the prep work the day before, went ahead and made my pumpkin pie because it's a new recipe and if I fail I can run out and just buy something for dessert. LOL We'll do our annual Thanksgiving Eve tradition of watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving while eating toast, pretzels, popcorn and jelly beans. It highwires the girls right before bed but they love it. lol

 

Have a good night everyone! Hapy Thanksgiving eve!

oooh I remember that test! I was expecting it to be worse than it was, but it still wasn't the most fun thing I've done! Mine was high and I was on insulin for a the rest of my pregnancy. I don't normally have high glucose but did while I was pregnant. I hated it but everything turned out okay. Good luck!

 

I didn't do a thing but sleep today as I worked last night and am back at work tonight. I will be off Thursday night and Friday night, but doubt that we will do Thanksgiving dinner until next week sometime. We'll see.

 

I actually got some things completed on my husbands Yule gift. I've had to improvise a pattern as the item I am crocheting did not have a pattern. I hope it turns out okay!

 

There is two things I would like to crochet for my son and some slippers for my mom, but don't know if I will be able to get all that done in them amount of time I have. I really have to quit putting things off till the last minute. Problem is, if I do them early, I would just go ahead and give them to the person I made the item for. I just can't help it.

 

Have a wonderful night all!!!

 

Have a wonderful Turkey Day!!!

[katyallen815]

oh i do that too tribble!! even if i buy something early, i give it to them lol silly us... everyone have a great day, with lots of family, friends, and good food.....see ya afer the feast!!!!!!!

[sopo]

Katy, thank you for the beautiful blue square. I'm sorry I haven't had time to snap a pic of it but maybe after today things will slow down.  Was awake at 5:30 this morning (thanks cat). Going to my mom and dad's and my aunt's family is as well since Dad still can't get up. How sad is it, I would rather just stay home in pjs sipping hot chocolate and watching Grumpy Old Men? lol 

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope you have a great day. 

[pineknott]

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. My sister and niece came out here. Dh and niece watched the parade while my sister and I cooked. It rained all day. We left home at 4am Fri and got back at 7pm. It rained most all day and started freezing on the trees but the roads stayed ok. Dh went to work and I went shopping with sister and niece. Since so many of the stores open Thurs evening when we go out Fri morning its not crowded at all. We went to Wal-Mart Kohls Hallmark and swung by McD's for my once a year egg mcmuffin stopped at sisters house to unload and then make our annual trek to Crown Center. We buy a mayor's Christmas ornament go to the Hallmark visitor center have lunch buy some special bagels enjoy the music and decorations and check out the shops there. One part of the hotel has a waterfall and the hillside is covered with plants. This is indoors. They put up a huge Christmas tree. Its so pretty. You can walk over to Union Station. The last few years they have added an aquarium and legoland but I haven't been through them as they are kind of pricey and you have to be with a child to get into legoland most of the time.

One of the eating places is train themed and is very popular with the kids. Its basically hambugers and hotdogs. You use the phone at your booth to call in your order which is delivered to you via the train running on tracks near the ceiling. Your order slides off on an elevator which lowers it to your table. Santa arrives at Crown Center at 10 am Fri after Thanksgiving. That's where we took my 30 plus year old niece to see santa when she was little. The outdoor ice skating rink probably opened today too. Dh picked up our favorite bbq for supper at my sisters house. The bbq the Fri after Thanksgiving is what I look forward to. If the roads aren't slick Sat we will meet all my sisters at dads house for another work session

I am going to try and work on getting the Christmas stuff up this coming week. I just got the Halloween things down yesterday! LOL. It's always Halloween at our house, but the cobwebs and things don't stay up year round....

I decided  to make my stuffing with oysters one year... Not even I could eat it. Might have had something to do with the fact that my mom said the oysters looked like something the cat hacked up... Blah!

Sounds like fun! I slept the actual Thanksgiving day as I had worked the night before, sometimes I stay up, but I havn't been able to shake this cold and I felt terrible. Yesterday, we worked on the closet we are putting up in the laundry room and took down the Halloween decorations and I made a small 'thanksgiving' meal. I work today, day shift then Sunday I will cook the real turkey! We don't have a huge family so it will be Mr Tribble, Little Tribble, my mother and my father. Might try to make a trip to see my husbands father come next weekend.

 

Sounds like everyone had a good time!

[cshort]

Katie, I hope you are staying warm.

 

Brenda, sounds like you were busy but also sounds like you had a lot of fun.

 

Tribble79, sorry your not feeling well, hope you're feeling better soon. I had some kind of cold for over a week and finally had to go to the doctor for antibiotics for a sinus infection.

 

Michelle, sounds like you had quite a party at your house.

 

I did some cleaning and some sewing today. My oldest daughter and her husband were picking the kids up from his parents house today, so they came to my house this afternoon and helped me decorate for Christmas. Then we had pigs in a blanket and tater tots for a quick dinner before they started the 2 hour drive home. Tomorrow will be church and then some stitiching. I finished an afghan for my grandbaby that is on the way, I posted it here:

I love the afghan for the new grandbaby! Those colors are great!! 

 

DH and I made it back yesterday late afternoon and all I could manage after that was sitting on the couch with my feet up! We had a great time, lots of visiting with family and plenty of good food. Because we were about 2 hours away, we didn't bring home any leftovers. I'm going to buy a turkey breast and make that, stuffing, and green bean casserole sometime this week.

 

I talked to Dad this morning and it looks like he'll be visiting sometime this coming week instead of next week like he'd been planning. He and his girlfriend are going to see her parents in Florida before Christmas so he wants to come earlier. That way he isn't driving 7 hours home just to turn around and drive 11 hours to Florida a few days later. I know Peanut will be happy to see his granddad! 

 

And of course I went to post a picture of my ghan Tuesday night and our internet went down. DH called to report the outage and they said it would be back sometime before 6am, which is their standard answer past midnight. I waited and waiting and finally gave up and as I was headed upstairs to get ready for bed, DH said the internet was back. I said well, it's too late for that, I'm going to bed! Lol So I have the picture now! I'm snuggled up under the afghan as I type this and I'm so happy with it. I feel the love just looking at it! 

 

 

Tomorrow we have a football game and then I'm probably done for the season because it gets too cold to sit outside and watch men run around after a leather ball for 4 hours. Although some of them look really good in those tight pants!!   

 

Katie after looking at the squares in my current ghan, I'm going to say shades of blue in 8" (7 round) grannies. 

 

I hope everyone is having a good weekend and I'll try to check back in tomorrow!

We left to head to my Grandmother's house for Thanksgiving Wednesday & the majority of that was driven in the dark. I hate driving in the dark, so I started out driving the trip. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at my Great Aunt's house Thursday. I took my Hubby and kiddos back out to my Grammie's & Michael (9) and I went to Walmart for black Friday. We really wanted to get Rosalie the Toddler bed set but unfortunately the Walmart in that town only had 4. One Mickey, One Minnie, One Cars & One Frozen. Hubby really wanted the Minnie Mouse one for Rosalie, but he told me to make getting the camera I wanted a priority. So we stood in line for that first. Ugh, I got so mad at myself because they also only had 4 of them, but with them being the most expensive camera there, I was the only one who bought it. I should have went to the beds first. So we'll just have to get the bed later. (She has coslept with us since we brought her home from the hospital) I did get the kids a ton of $4 pajamas, as well as some for Hubby and I. 

 

Over all we had a wonderful weekend.

[ImmaFreek]

Hi all. Hope you are doing well.

 

I found out Friday that my dad is in hospice out of state, and not looking good he is unresponsive but comfortable, but I called and talked to him for a minute , it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. And his dear sweet nurse, God love her, was trying not to cry as I was talking to her.

 

So if you know a Nurse, give them a hug. And if you are a Nurse, thank you for all you do.

[cshort]

Nikki, your afghan looks great!

 

Jessica, glad to hear you had a good weekend. Too bad about the bed hopefully you'll be able to get the one you want soon.

 

ImmaFreek, I'm sorry about your dad 

 

I went to church this morning and I think I'm going to work on December birthday squares this afternoon. Have a good day everyone.

[owlvamp]

[jessicali]
