Wash Out

This is a complete rainout of a Saturday.  I don't mind a cosy day at home though.  Rosa is meeting her potentials Daddies and fingers crossed for this little lady (and fingers crossed to potty outside today).

We had a great time at dinner last night.  These friends are such good conversationalist and interesting people.  Not a boring part of the conversation all night.  Dinner was delicious and dessert was incredible -- I got a slice of the pastry chef's special pumpkin pie recipe.  I've never had a better slice of pumpkin pie.

I'm signed up for the 5K and was resolved to do it on my own -- then my friend last night said she's interested in running it too.  Yea!  She's not signed up yet, but sounds promising.  I think I might have a partner for the run after all.

Monday we are doing a speed round of the 4 mile lake hike -- seeing if we can get it under an hour.  The hills are serious and the terrain is challenging for about 2/3 of the loop.  My friend from last night is coming with us.  Awesome on both fronts.

I got most of the supplies for Thanksgiving -- just in time.  It was crazy out there ALREADY.  With today being heavy rain all day -- lord help the people.  Costco came through with the organic, fresh turkey and some good wines for the night.  (I'm on a no-alcohol run until Thanksgiving -- in case you were wondering LOL.)  I'll buy the fresh stuff next week and good-to-go (!!)

I might make the cranberry sauce this weekend.  I think it keeps for about a week.  Anything I can get done ahead is a bonus.  I also decided to make mini-apple pies this year.  The last 2 years, no one was hungry for dessert and we didn't cut the pie until the next day.  This way my youngest can take a small pie home and have it when he's ready.  I don't know why little pies seem so much easier to make and bake.

I AM starting my BETTER eating today.  Practically anything will be move the bar in the right direction LOL.  But seriously, giving it a go.  Hello, vegetables -- I see you :)  (Here's an oldie, but goodie -- I'm shooting for "little" haha)

I'm pushing back into routine again tomorrow.  I plan to go to Unity for A Course in Miracles class and maybe the sermon (I'll see on timing ... if Rosa is getting adopted, etc).

Have a great Saturday.  Later gators.
