coming right up on a month jinx!!!! wtg!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend- Mine was really fun- I'm going to make an effort not to talk too much about food BECAUSE this week contains the day where we always let it fly with complete disregard for any sort of dietary scruples- so I am going to try and make up for it with my behavior the other four days-

My fridge is full of smart choices (I came in to work today with a whooooole pile of halloween candy, took one small packet of pretzels out of it and the rest goes intp the community bowl- YOU GUYS DEAL WITH THIS NOW!!) we planned out our menu for the week- everything is reasonable- so now on Thursday I can make a complete glutton of myself guilt free- I always say on the morning of Thanksgiving to my kids "wait until you see how much turkey I can eat, you'll never believe it!"

Love Thanksgiving- we get up and watch the parade, make cinnamon buns, have coffee and mimosas-

Right now my wife and youngest are under the weather tho (stayed home) and if they don't get better, we'll probably have to bow out of the big celebration which would be really a bummer- I have a pretty elderly Gramma (she's awesome) but she's been in a hospital for a few days and two brand new nieces, so we can't be in there with all sorts of disease and such- keep your fingers crossed

I guess I ended up talking about food for the entire check in post- sorry, I'm trying to not be a tool about it, but I'm talking about reasonable food (except the cinnamon buns)

Short week thank goodness
