Thanksgiving

OK, so it's Turkey day...mine is sitting in a tub of water right now. It was still a little frozen this morning, but seems OK now. I'll prep it and get it in the oven in a couple of hours. It's a small one, so should be good to go by this afternoon. Taking a break from trying to clean up my place. I get happy just thinking about Patty. When it comes to Christmas, Patty is getting the better end of the deal. I'm getting her the large size photo printer she wants, and an Ipod touch, and most of the Jane Austen movies she had on her wish list. A part of me sees me and Patty ending up together and being happy (at least on some level) together. We'll each have that other person out there who makes our collective hearts sing, but we'll comfort each other. We're also both mature enough to realize that you don't always get the fairy-tale ending in life.

Watching Joan Biaz sing on "The Last Waltz". It's one of my Thanksgiving traditions. I also like to listen to "Alice's Restaurant"...other than that, it's turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes and the rest of the usual food stuff. Will probably end up going to see the Twilight movie tonight. I started the 4th book last night. It hasn't received the best reviews, so I hope it doens't ruin the series for me....I also hope the movie does the first book justice.

Just remembering last Thanksgiving...I drove up from Panama City Beach to be with Patty and her mom and son....Patty burned her arm with gravy...not fun. Later (or possibly the next day) she broke out in hives...we think it may have been the pet carpet cleaner stuff...we had moved furniture around in her bedroom and she was crawling on the floor quite a bit as we did...anyway, she was miserable for a couple of days, but got better.

Was the Macy's parade always so lame? I remember loving it as a kid.
