Can it....

be almost Thanksgiving already?! I'm getting into the mood for Christmas and once Thanskgiving is here it just seems to fly by until the end of the year. Yikes!! I look at my work schedule for the rest of the year and I'm scratching my head where did 2010 go??? Can I have part of it back? Probably not but I can reflect....

OKay enough of that. This week has been alright. It was more draining than some and I really don't know why. Both Scott and I were ready for Friday to be here. And its bad when we are arguing about where to do for dinner and we fall asleep before actually leaving the house. True story. Another true story from this week is that I was in a big hurry to leave Friday morning for work. Hurried up did my hair, didn't care what it looked like, got dressed, shoes on, out the door, 75 to work and got there with 3 minutes to spare. Put my lunch, purse, coat away and get ready to start my day. I was working in ER all day long and didn't think to change my shoes before I started and didn't really feel like it. 45 minutes into my work day I'm staring at my feet and all a sudden realize I have on 2 different shoes. Seriously! I'm 27 years old and have can't even match my shoes. They were both the same brand just one was this years model and one was last years. I was in ER with my co worker and student, both men and they wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't said anything. Oh well we all got a good laugh out of it, plus a running joke for the day. I did make a patient feel better by admitting my fashion faux pas to them. So i guess there was a purpose to it.

Oh I'm ready for Thanksgiving I can't wait to spend the day with family. Most years I alternate Thanksgiving between my family and Scott's. This year is supposed to be my family's turn but we're going with Scott's family since the Las Vegas branch of the family will be here. :) :) I feel bad and gulity for missing my family because I love my dad's side of the family and its a ton of fun when we get together. I know my Grandma loves nothing better than to have the whole family together under her roof and around her table eating the meal she and my aunts have prepared, talking, joking and enjoying our time together. This is the ultimate fellowship and relationship I can think of. I'm spoiled I have both sets of my grandparents left love them both dearly and don't/can't think of what it would be like without them. Who am I going to get good recipes and advice from? My Grandpa S. is such a character he's getting less shy about telling people what he thinks about them. I love it when he tells a telemarketer they're full of poop (4 letter word there) :) or when he pulls practical joke on me. :) My Grandma S. is such a lady but when she gets worked up she'll tell it how it is. I love them both dearly. My Gma H. is such a caretaker and loves having someone to take care of. She was so giving when both my dad and mom were recovering from surgery. Brought over meals and knew how to stay long enough without over staying and making the patient more tired. :) My Gpa H. is full of stories about going around the conventional way of doing something his way and not getting in trouble/caught. He's just stubborn enough to do things his way. Oh I love my grandparents. I know I don't tell them that enough, but I do love them dearly. :)

Okay time for bed. Blessed turkey day wishes for you my reader friends. Thank your grandparents if able to and eat too much turkey, pumpkin pie and goodness and as much as I can gripe about my family, at least I have family to gripe about. :)
