Saturday morning, November 29 - what has happened to the week?!?!?

Mom came on the 23rd, Joe and Andy got home on the 26th. Lesley was not able to come home from Taiwan.

I bought groceries the week before (and some this past week). But, all in all, things went very smoothly - we made pecan pie, cranberry dressing on Tuesday, all the sides and an apple pie on Wednesday. On Thursday morning we made rolls, , blackberry cobbler (which was my birthday cake) and got the turkey in the oven. The turkey was freaking fantastic and had a mind of its own on when it was ready! We kept moving the meat thermometer to gain a little more time! We ate right about when I thought we would...We drank champagne t0 celebrate my birthday and Thanksgiving, then we opened a Sinskey 2005 Four Vineyards Pinot, then a 2007 Poppy...Of course, my dear husband who helped me purchase all the wine we bought in California is convinced that the less expensive wine he buys is better. Pisses me off - why spend money on wine if you don't think it's worth it. He seems determined to prove that less expensive wine he can purchase here is better! Refuses to enjoy the wine we purchased...oh well, guess I will have to do it without him.

We went to see Quantum of Solace in the evening - I loved it. Joe was hot and wiggly the entire evening, Mother talks too loud and sometimes makes inappropriate comments...I may have to go see it alone just to get to really enjoy it...

Yesterday we bought Joe a MacBook - his other computer that Lowry bought him before college died. Joe agreed that it could be part of his Christmas present - a big part.

The boys have hung around only when necessary - for Thanksgiving lunch and movies, etc. Last night they both spent the night out with their friends - Joe and his boys were up at Matt's lake house and Andy and his boys were at Matt's house. I believe Joe, not so sure about Andy. I worry about them both. Joe and his boys drink a lot - the last time they were at Matt's they had a visit by the police who asked them to keep things down! They were lucky they didn't get arrested...Andy, well he has been known to say he's going somewhere and not go there - plus, I'm not so sure he's completely honest about where they are and what they are doing!!! Oh well.

I'm restless and would really really love a nice long workout. I did get a chance to go to yoga yesterday - it was awesome. But, I really need some kind of cardio workout. I'm grumpy and can feel the energy storing up in me...not a good thing. Plus, I can see and feel it in my reactions to others. Too much energy.

Gotta run.
