Thanksgiving '08

Thanksgiving '08 was fantastic. I had a great time. My mom, dad, their dog and sister drove down to see me and I cooked almost the entire meal. it was EXHAUSTING, but worth it. I also had a couple of my girlfriends come over.

My "boy-friend" didn't come because he isn't my boyfriend anymore, a story better left unblogged, but it's all good anyways. I am back on the dating scene and that is going good so far, so I will keep you posted if anything note worthy happens on that front. I spent Wednesday cooking all evening, got started at around 8pm.

Here was my menu: Turkey, Dressing, Chicken, Ham, Macaroni and Cheese, Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Beans, Okra, Fried Corn, Rice , Lemon Cake with (from scratch) Cream Cheese Frosting and ice Cream. It was wonderful, everyone loved it! Now I must say that I didn't cook the Ham, Fried Corn and Okra, but everything else was all me. I have posted some pics below for you to see:

The only bad part was that one of my girlfriends came later, after we had finished eating and I was asleep on the couch the entire time she was there.

But life is great, I can't complain at all, the job is good and secure (now) for the most part. I am back in my bowling league, I am also in a tennis group, but it is getting too cold for that now. The dogs are not getting along, but they are work, but I enjoy them. I am hanging out with old friends and new friends and having a great time in the process. I am having a Christmas party for one of the groups I am in this weekend. That should be a lot of fun. I will post some pictures next week.
