Getting ready for Thanksgiving.



I have some good news about my sister Sue. She had the MRI on her brain and the doctor called today and told her it is a benign cyst and that they will check it again in 6 months. Thank god! I was really scared that it was going to be something bad. Thanks for all the prayers for my sister.

I have been getting ready for Thanksgiving. I realized I forgot a few things so off to the store I went. It was a madhouse! People standing over the frozen turkey bin trying to figure out what size bird they wanted. There were a lot of men on cell phones with confused looks on their faces. The funniest thing I saw was two guys looking at spices with blank looks on their faces. One if the guys asked his friend what they were supposed to use on the turkey and he said he was looking it up on google. Who knew there would be a day you could google from your phone in the grocery store. I was going to step in and help but who knows better than google right? lol

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I am making cherry pie, pumpkin pie, carrot cake, and I am going to prepare all of the setup for Thanksgiving morning. I am looking forward to cooking for my family this year.

I am going shopping on Friday with my sisters my mom and Megan. We do it every year and we have a really good time. We will all meet at about 4:30 a.m. and keep going until about noon then we have lunch and go home and crash out! My sister sue made shirts for us this year. They are so cool. The front says Black Friday Mall Rat shop til you drop and the back says...If you can read this I beat you to the deals! I can see us all with our shirts on now. It is going to be funny. I never miss it even when I was going through chemo I dragged my sorry butt out the door and went. I can still remember writing in my journal about it. I was bald at the time and Jeffrey said he couldn't find me at the mall and it was like playing Where's Baldo...lol

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great time with your families.
Save room for dessert!!!!!

Thank you Sugar for the beautiful Thanksgiving graphic.

I'm still here..

Geeesh. I am a bad blogger. I have not been on in a while. One of the reasons I wanted to post today is to ask everyone for prayers. My sister Sue has been having trouble - headaches, tingling on the left side of my her head, numbness by her temple, some minor vision problems, high blood pressure, and disoriented. Well she had a CAT scan and they did find something. They said it was about 1/4 inch spot that showed up. We aren't sure what it is but they want to do an MRI on Monday. This is freaking me out! She tells me not to worry but how can I not worry about something like this? Please keep her in your prayers.

I was pleasantly surprised to sign on today and find that Sugar from The Sugar Shack Passed the Marie Antoinette award: Real Blogs - Real People on to me!





Sugar thank you so much I am honored! You are so sweet and it means a lot to me.

Now it is my turn to pick some of my friends blog to pass it on to.
First is Stephanie from Freshly Squeezed. She is also a breast cancer survivor. If you have never read her blog you should stop by and say hi.
My second choice is Kelly from "Reminiscence" of the yesteryears...
I think most of you know who Kelly is. Her sister Kim (I shaved my legs for this) lost her battle with breast cancer. Kelly writes about dealing with her loss.
There are so many other journals I love to read, I really could go on with a long list. You know I love you all!!!


Here are the rules for passing this award along.
1. Please put the logo on your journal - Real Blogs/Real People.
2. Place a link from the person, from whom you received the award.
3. Nominate as many as you want (2-10, with 7 being ideal).
4. Put the links of those on your journal.
5. Leave a comment on their journal to let them know.
6. Put the award on your sidebar, if you want.

I hope I did this right..hee hee.

Oh there is one other thing that I have to talk about..
My dog freaked us out the other night. Jeff woke up about 4:00 a.m. and woke me up and said the dog was gagging. So I got down on the floor with him and he gagged a couple times and then he laid down and peed on the floor! Then he just went limp and was having a really hard time breathing..Then he took one last breath and just laid there. I was hysterical! We were both crying and I thought well this is it, Dabny just died....Jeff picked him up and started shaking him and petting him and all the sudden he gasped and came back to life! Now he is fine. It was the strangest thing. That little shit scared the life out of me, now he is prancing around like nothing ever happened. He is going to be 17 in December so I know his time is coming but I am just not ready yet. Oh I forgot to mention in the heat of the moment I did grab his little snout and started giving him mouth to snout resuscitation...lolol.
Here's my baby...



I have to get ready to go to the grocery store so til next time......
