Happy Thanksgiving and just a few things from yesterday.

Happy Happy Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you have a beautiful day filled with your people, food and relaxation!

I’ve got a long list of things I am especially grateful for today but I think we all probably know my #1:

I also wanted to share my favorite quote about gratitude and how to find it each day!  He goes on to say at the end of this quote… “Perhaps we should be looking less with our eyes and more with our hearts.”  Love it.

I’ve just got a few things to share with you from last night.

-My amazing aunt (remember the one that I lived by in California and spent Sundays with?) is in town and I was lucky enough to go to dinner with my favorite ladies.

-We went to Mimi’s Cafe and the sauce with my salmon was money.  I’ll need to be going back for this meal again.

-From there I went straight to the movies with two Lindseys.  

Loyalty cup users for life:

-We ended up seeing The Martian and holy cow… that was intense! Loved it.  Still need to go see The Intern though.

-After the movie I had to stop at the grocery store (at 11:30 pm).  I don’t remember the last time I went to a grocery store late at night and it turns out it is a whole different world at night.

-I simply could not resist the chocolate covered cinnamon bears while I was there.  Gotta prepare for Thanksgiving somehow:

I’ve got 5 miles and lots of stuffing/pie/mashed potato eating to get done today!

Chocolate covered cinnamon bears? Those look amazing!
I love grocery shopping late at night, it’s so quiet. You have the whole place to yourself.

Rainy day here means I skipped the run I wanted to do. Frozen turkey means we may be ordering carryout, lol.

I love going to Costco right before it closes on a mid-week day. What a difference between then and the mornings and weekends! Happy Thanksgiving! I’m Canadian, so no fun day up here for us, but like that quote says, I’ll certainly find something to party about today! :)

Just completed my first trail turkey trot in the pouring rain with my husband and 2 nephews. I made myself keep smiling to forget about how cold and wet I was and kept repeating “there are donuts at the finish line!”

I adore that pic of Brooke!
I started my day at Run Turkey Run 5k with my daughter in 10 degrees. The rest of the day has been cooking, cleaning, trying to get warm again, and sipping microbrews. My kids and grandkids will be here around 5.

Happy thanksgiving Janae! We don’t do Thanksgiving in Australia but I love the concept. I’ve had a busy time of it lately so I’m going to read, have lunch out with my husband and relax.

Oh man, your Nana is so gorgeous, I want her for my own!! My grandparents all died when I was a child so I highly recommend being thankful (and give them lots of hugs) if you still have them around :)

Ooh! The Martian! I want to see that one!

Today was spent with lots of cooking and lots of eating. My parents are out of town, so this was the first Thanksgiving I had to fend for myself. It was interesting, and I started zero fires! ;)

Happy thanksgiving. That salmon looks great

My mom had a bowl of chocolate covered cinnamon bears out the day before thanksgiving too. It is also how I ‘prepared’….it is also what started the 24 hour binge fest. I hurt. I can’t even get out bed right now. Sugar comas are REAL.

Reply

So crazy how similar Brooke looks to you in that first picture! Such a beautiful picture of her <3

I recommend reading the Martian if you get a chance. The book was amazing. You get a chance to hear more of his inner dialogue and his comments to himself. It’s hilarious!

Reply

Yum that salmon looks great!
