Hi Everyone!

I've been two weeks on a new job and have had no time to contribute

to the board. I miss you all. Doing BFL while on the job is a LOT

different than keeping the discipline while at home. Thanks everyone

for the advice on packaging food etc. Here is wishing you all a VERY

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Warmly,

Petra

> I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Stay safe and eat well :)

> Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Maggie!

We are at my parents' house in New Mexico. I had a free meal for TG

dinner which was BBQ and traditional New Mexico beans, green chili

and tortillas. I'll have another free meal tonight. This morning I

resisted the offer of a breakfast burrito and instead made myself

eggs, beans, and green chili. All authorized. I did LB on Tuesday

before we left and I am taking the week off lifting until Monday. I

will do cardio and abs today. How is everyone else faring this

holiday weekend??

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. Kristian spent the day at Busch Gardens

and LOVED it!! He didn't have one single " issue " , which leads me to believe

that some of these behaviors have to be selective. What do you think?

All the best~~

Happy Thanksgiving!

Not for me - I am more apt to say no and wish I had the energy I had 10

years ago! I once invited all the girls in Katey's class for her birthday.

It was a sleepover and we were making pizzas from scratch. We were new to

the area and I doubted anyone would let their children come - they all came

and only 2 parents came to the door to meet us!

I think after Thanksgiving, many moms will enjoy the break and take

advantage of the Black Friday shopping without kids.

speaking of weather...it has been a WET month here in dallas. and if it wasn't

wet it was grey and threatening. and humid. and misty. can you tell i despise

rain?? we have no garage so getting in and out of car with 3 kids and wet grass

and wet leaves and raincoats and lake (instead of lawn) and umbrellas and

backpacks and groceries and NO TENNIS - just about put me over the edge. today

it was chilly and SUNNY!!! kids finally could play in backyard. of course - they

drug in mud and wet leaves. but i don't even care - i was just so happy to see

the sun. karen in sunny dallas

Happy Thanksgiving!

Why would anyone go shopping the day after Thanksgiving? I just dont get it!

Well, Thanksgiving was good- my mom actually cooked a turkey and we made the

sides and a friend of mine came along and made a pie- so no one person had to

do all the work.

It was nice- hope everyone had a yummy, peaceful day.

PS amanda is planning a post Thanksgiving party with her friends- they all

have to wear pink and may come here for a movie and a make over party. Sounds

fun!

For years, I prided myself on making all my pumpkin pies, and a dozen extra

for family and friends from scratch. Now, I am the only one who eats pumpkin

pie in the house, and I have 8 kids so.... I buy the mix and let my daugther

make them.

For the past several years we have had the tradtition of staying home, with

just MY kids and having a Thankgiving Feast. Everyone has a dish they are

responsible for..even the LITTLE ones can put olives in the bowl. This year I

added homemade potato rolls to my batch of dinner rolls that I made. (We have

bought potato rolls for years as dinner rolls and no one ever paid attention to

them.) When the kids found out there were potato rolls mixed with the dinner

rolls..they picked through the platter carefully to make sure they DIDN'T get

any potato rolls. It was so FUNNY!

Liam has a cute little pumpkin from Halloween. I didn't have the heart to

cook it in front of him! Maybe when he goes back to school it will disappear...

My little vegetarian is doing so well. Yesterday he ate both turkey and ham.

Who'd a thunk it? We've been through a four day stretch of on target blood

sugars, even though he ate a few cookies yesterday, along with his SF ice

cream.

Instead of hitting the stores, many specials can be done on-line. I put in a

Toys R Us order last night. Got some good deals. Free shipping and some

buy-one-get one-free stuff. All those great ideas I got for Liam went to family

members, so I'm almost back where I started.

Ask Kathy...lol. I'd rather stay away myself on Friday. Katey wanted to go

shopping early this morning but she is still asleep...lol.

Our dinner turned out good - the turkey was tender, juicy and sweet (I only

buy Honeysuckle White). initially did not want to sit at the table

with us, but once we said grace, he came running. He only ate mashed

potatoes/gravy and pumpkin pie. His medicine is causing him to lose weight

now - I gotta get his doctor to change it this week. I went off my diet

yesterday but am back on track today.

Back to the pumpkin debate....Poor could not find canned pumpkin in

Argentina, let alone a pumpkin pie. Mashed pumpkin is a staple food down

there and the people at the grocery store told her to just cook a

pumpkin...lol. That is way over her head - the girl is smart, but cooking

from scratch is not her thing. Oh boy, I need to spend more time with her

before she gets married....lol!
