Happy Thanksgiving!

For the first time in a long time (or maybe ever), it is just the three of us for Thanksgiving. My guys are sleeping in and I'm baking a pumkin pie this morning. Gavin had a buddy spend the night. I surprised them with king crab legs last night for dinner. Forgot to take a picture but they didn't last long.

The plan for today is to eat a hearty breakfast (sausage and eggs), go to the IMAX and see Beowulf in 3-D, then come home and have dinner (spiraled ham, sweet potatoes and green beans). And maybe throw a nap in there somewhere :)

My favorite yoga pose

I had my third yoga class last night. Soon I will look like Mr Iyengar in the photo. Just kidding. It is the hardest sport I've ever tried to do. We are doing just the basic poses and I find myself shaky and dripping with sweat! The instructor is very patient and ends the evening with us laying down in a relaxed pose which almost always puts me to sleep.

Two broken buddies

Well, we knew it was a matter of time before Gav took the big fall and he did this past Monday evening at the skate park and broke a bone in his wrist. His good friend Fred fell rollerblading in PE and broke both his tibia and fibula, ouch!

Chili in the house

I made a pot of my sister Kathy's famous chili yesterday. We watched some football, munched on chips and salsa and waited for the chili to be done. Yum! Today I painted the laundry room. I'm slowly getting each room painted and the house is starting to feel a little more like home.

A yoga story...

I took my second yoga class last night out of a series of six. I was feeling great on the way home from my class when my cell phone rang. Is this Mary? Yes. This is Doctor So and So. I just got the results back from your blood work you had done today and your blood sugar is extemely low. Are you feeling okay? Yeah, I just got out of my yoga class. Really?? Well I'm glad you are feeling good. You might go home and have some Halloween candy to get your blood sugar to go up. Okay, no problem there. I love candy. I never thought I would be advised by a doctor to eat it!

I stole this from my sister-in-laws blog....thanks Fish Taxi!
