Things for which I am thankful:
Family - human and four-legged
Turkey and all the other stuff that goes with it
Bounce House rentals
Cortisone shots
I always feel bad cooking an animal carcass. I do. My husband has stayed with me through many things, including numerous dogs, a horse, six cats and various other creatures, but he would leave if I didn't have a turkey for Thanksgiving - a dead one. (He knows I'm just a farm away from having live poultry running around.) I will feel bad cleaning it, and will thank it for giving up its life to provide food for our family.
I'm getting verklempt just thinking about it....
It's been a busy morning. I thank God everyday for Dr. White and the magic elixir he shot into my shoulder. I am pain free. A friend and I were talking "aches and pains" yesterday and I told her I tried to bribe him into shooting some of that stuff into my left foot, right knee, hip and back. He said no - I can't imagine why. I also told her I used to shy away from needles but he could have used a nail gun to put that stuff into my shoulder and I wouldn't have complained. Anyway, it is so nice to do things around the house without pain.
Baby Boo! has added an element of craziness to leaving the house - as well as going into the pantry, laundry room, bathroom, front porch, etc. Last night, I had just counted her in the front bedroom (Some count sheep, but I can't sleep until I've counted cats) - and I was getting something out of the pantry. Andy came up behind me asking if I was missing any cats? I said, no, I just counted them all. I turned around and he was holding Boo!; laughing. He said he had just found her in our bedroom. How the hell she got clear across the house in under three seconds I'll never know. And into a closed room no less! She is like Dash on steroids.

What has become a Thanksgiving tradition - a Bounce House - was just delivered. I had to run into the house to get the money, leaving the delivery guy on the front porch. I know he had no intention of coming inside after seeing Jack. Well, when I came back out he was laughing. His comment, "That was the funniest thing! There's that big dog and that tiny cat - he looked at her and she hissed at him and he backed off like - don't hurt me!" I told him she let everybody know right away who's boss.
Well, I have cranberry sauce, yam casserole and green bean casserole to make. Tomorrow I'm gonna try crockpot mashed potatoes. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you live in Orlando and want to come by for turkey and to jump in the bounce house - you're certainly welcome!
