I'm cooking a turkey in the snow..



Okay, I'm not actually cooking the turkey in the snow. I am cooking turkey in the oven while it is snowing out. Snow is usually very cold, in fact I believe it is always cold. It is not always white because well to be honest, things happen!!

I am baking a turkey in my oven in an enamel pan. I would have liked to have started the turkey much earlier today than I did,. Up too late to start it as early as I'd have liked.

Okay back to the snow. It's snowing out. WOOHOO!! It look absolutely beautiful out there. Clean and new. i love the first good snow of the season. I also love snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, however by mid January I am all set with snow. Kind of like my Christmas tree, I could set it up now and have it up for a month with no worries. But as SOON as the presents are opened Im ready to rip that tree down and throw it away. On a yearly basis I cut the lights off the tree and throw them away. I have no patience to stand there and take all the lights off, especially the way R puts them on the tree.

Today Thanksgiving will be celebrated with my husband R, our two children, HJ and D. We will also being putting out turkey and giblets cat food while we eat for our four cats so we'll all eat together. I am thankful for my family, that we will be able to spend another Thanksgiving together surrounded by love and cat fur.

My sis P is spending Thanksgiving with her boyfriend and his family. Paul's mother is spending it at home with my nephew J. My brother Paul is working, but his loved ones will be saving his meal for when he gets home.

Menu: Roasted Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, corn, green beans with almond slices, and fresh baked breads. Condiments such as olives (green and black), kosher dill pickles and cranberry sauce. For dessert we will have pumpkin pie and apple pie, with vanilla ice cream and whip cream in a can.

Today we are watching Miracle on 34th Street and tonight we will follow it up by my favorite holiday movie, The Ref!

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a goodnight!

Why I don't want OnStar..

Personally, I don't want On Star installed in my vehicle. Everyone enjoys new technology but sometimes I feel it's a little too intrusive. Intrusive you ask? Well I watch the commercials and in them it says," Mrs. Jones, I notice you've been in an accident. I've alerted police and they're on their way." Or you have, "Mr. Smith, I notice your air bag has been deployed, do you require further assistance?" Why wouldn't you want that in your vehicle, especially seeing how quickly they respond after an accident, they'd get you help right away. Yes, I see that. I see that they would get me help right away. But what about a good hit and run, smash and dash. You wouldn't be able to do that because On Star would ruin your alibi. You can't say well I wasn't in an accident and On Star would say, yes you have been our sensors show it. Or what if they're listening in on your conversation while you're talking? Think of some of thing...

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

The First Hearing of the Heartbeat

HJ laying on the table with her digital recorder while we listen to the sound of the baby's heartbeat. AMAZING! That's all I can say. This was taken with my cell phone which I then couldn't get the video on to my computer. So I asked a friend how she got pictures moved around and she ended up emailing it to me so I could put it on here to share.
