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! :)

Onward I go!

Not much going on these days...work, home, work, home work buy a new car, work......oh did that catch your attention! haha...Yup I broke down and bought a new car! Well not new new but new to me! Its a 2007 Hyundai Tucson...a small SUV....very pretty blue :)
My old car was a 2001 so it was time to let it retire and move on to something else..and who knows...I might actually get to drive it sometime!

Yes my son is still here on the couch! He works long hours then goes out with his friends so I dont' see him much. However, he is going to have to make some changes to his lifestyle. He is 22 and has managed to give himself an ulcer! He goes on 4 hours MAX of sleep, works 12 hours, doesn't eat much cause he would rather run the roads. So we are going to sit down and have a very serious chat about his lifestyle ways thats for sure! Can't wait for that haha

So a few things are coming up that I'm looking forward to. Next weekend I am going to a scrapbooking retreat for a weekend with some friends. Now we all know I'm not a scrapbooking fan...however...I am going to go and attempt to make some cards or something...and if it really drives me crazy I'm bringing my stitching hahaha......Then in November is our Stitchy Beach Retreat! OMG there are no words to describe how much I am looking forward to THAT! And we are going up an extra day this time because of Rememberance Day holiday. Not everyone is coming up the extra day...2 or 3 are not the rest of us are tho....I can't wait! I need that weekend away with my stitching sistas......to laugh, talk, eat, stitch, laugh, laugh and laugh some more! I always come back feeling so relaxed and energized...even tho we dont' get a lot of sleep haha

My eating healthy plan is going ok....just ok tho....I certainly am not being crazy about it but I am trying. I'm also getting some walking in and planning for the Phase II of my master plan...so stay tuned! An update is coming soon on that!

I think my friend and I are going to go to that bar I spoke about a couple blogs ago...I have been craving one of those delicious drinks ever since I had one a couple weeks ago....YUM!!!!!

Well thats it for now...until next time...stay out of trouble haha
