Welcome to Dana's blog!

so much fodder.........so little time.......

Ok, LONG DAY! But I knew that waking up--which was way earlier than I should have, but I was wondering if the election took a major swing by any change. Oh well. I got up and worked out. Both boys were up early, too. So they emptied the dishwasher and ate bfast and got ready and off to town we went. I dropped off the recycling and we went to MOMS. It went very well. I wound up buying a ton of raffle tix since I didn't sell many and won 3 of the prizes! They were the smaller ones, but ones that I'll use!

Then off to skating. I got a great workout there! We also had a parent meeting so I didnt' get my full hour of skating in, but that's OK. We got quite a bit accomplished and planned out a nice Christmas party. Now to remember ot make pumpkin soup and sugar cookies for that day............LOL I called Pizza Hut from the rink and ordered the boys personal pans, ran and got those and they ate while I did the banking at 2 banks and up to library. That was at least slow paced!LOL From there to Aldi to grab a couple of things and then to the chickenlady to pick up 6 TWENTY FIVE POUND TURKEYS and 3 dozen eggs and 6 bars of soap!LOL Clove and peppermint (not together!LOL)--YUMMY! The peppermint is going to be AWESOME!

Then home. Which sounds easy, but I took two tubs for the turkeys so I had 75 lbs of turkey to get out of the van, up the steps to the back door, down the steps to the basement. I told Joey to guard the van to keep the cats out. I was breathing heavy by the time I got to the freezer w/the 2nd load. But those fit int he freezer and my sister's ILs want them for Thanksgiving so I won't have them long.;) I just sat down from that and my sister called to tell me that the surgeon was pretty adamant about mom having the needle biopsy guided by cat scan. Meanwhile mom beeps in to tell me the same thing!LOL But that will be Friday. I may need to watch my neice.  So Mat will vacuum in a few minutes and I"ll do some last minute picking up and we'll sit down to a fabulous (smelling at least!LOL) Italian roast and au gratin potatoes and wait for the ins man to show up at 7. Then I"m sure I"ll fall into bed.

I went out to put the van in the garage and opened the door and a cat nearly sprung on me! I about had cardiac arrest! So much for Joey guarding against cats......LOL

They just said that there is some chemical in red wine to reverse (fight??) aging. Too bad you need to drink 1000 bottles a day.;)
