Happy Thanksgiving All!

There are no words to describe how happy I am to have a nice 3 day weekend! I'm exhausted for some reason and just can't seem to catch up on my sleep no matter how much I get. So the plan for this weekend (besides eating lots of turkey) is to just plain relax and do as little as possible! Hopefully that will let me catch up on my rest and recharge my batteries.

Sunday I am going to my daughter in law's parents for Thanksgiving dinner with the rest of the crew. I have to bring a veggie dish, rolls and pop...I can certainly handle that! I always look forward to Thanksgiving dinner....the weather is cooler and I'm ready for a good old fashioned turkey dinner after all the BBQ and salads of summer. Its supposed to be a nice fall day and my DIL's parents live in the country so I'm hoping for some pretty scenery to take some pics of the grandkids and family. I'm sure it won't be a late evening since nothing makes me sleepier then eating a turkey supper haha

Next weekend I am leaving to go to a scrapbooking retreat. Now I know I'm not much into that but I will make a few cards and observe the others. I love watching how the pages come to life. And if I get to bored I will go for a swim in the pool at the hotel and then go do some stitching! I'm not gonna put any pressure on myself that I have to scrap or anything...I really am just going to relax and spend the weekend with 3 of my good friends...and really thats the most important part of the weekend for me :)

While I was out running errands today (yes I got to drive my new to me car today! haha) I made some decisions about the healthy living Phase of my plan I have discussed previously. So I went to a local gym and picked up information on cost, classes, etc and will make a decision on that this week. I also decided to go back to Weight Watchers. In the past it really is the only thing that has ever worked for me....when I follow it! So I thought I would just run up to the centre to see if there were any specials for joining and sure enough! Today was the last day for waiving the registration fee (a $30 saving)! So I wasn't planning on joining today but I couldn't pass up the deal so I joined! So here I go folks! I have decided I will allow myself one day a week as a "free day". If I want something I will have it on that day. It will give me somthing to look forward to and help me stick to the plan the rest of the week. So I guess I am moving forward slowly but surely...eventually I will be where I want to be...baby steps but steps non the less!

The other area of my life I have been giving a lot of thought to lately is my single status. I would truly love to meet someone and get married. BUT I am not in so much a rush that I will settle for something I don't want either. I think the bigh thing in that area (in my opinion and applies only to my feelings for me) is that until I can get my own life straightened around (mentally, physically, spiritually, etc) I really don't think I will meet the right guy for me. So I am making every effort to get myself in order so that I can open up my heart, mind and my life to let someone in. As the saying goes....good things come to those who wait......my problem (as you know) is I am probably the most IMPATIENT person on the planet! haha So it will be a learning experience for sure!

Well I guess I've spilled and rambled enough for today..sometimes I think if I put things here in writing I will follow thru more because I feel a responsiblity for sticking to it after knowing others will read my thoughts...might be crazy but thats ok!

So for now have a great and blessed Thanksgiving one and all...I'm on my way to a friends to stitch for the day! :)
