The Super Long week is over =(

It's past midnight and our Thanksgiving week of Yummy food, and rest is sadly over. I hope everyone enjoyed their time off from that annoying thing we call work ( which don't get me wrong, I know we are all grateful for having).

But back to normality at least for a week or so.. and then we get ready for December and another week long family fest.

I start December off with a Bang!! my BF Birthday is this coming weekend so I hope to spend some quality time with him.

This past week was awesome had Thanksgiving 3 times, Yes that's right Tuesday we had one with my Family specially set up for my nephews, Thursday I went over BF's for Dinner and Today we had our home made Turkey specially for my nephew D. Who loves grandmas food.. when he saw they turkey cooking in the oven almost done he said "MMmm this is going to be delicious" as eloquently as an 8 years old with his Lisp caused by the onset of the front teeth being taken away by the tooth fairy.

By the way we were blessed with today's turkey by divine intervention, let me explain, we usually make a turkey with sauce and its yummy , but since we were having our entire floor from our house remodeled, we were not able to use the kitchen, so we had to buy the  Koo Koo Roo Family Feast, which was good, but was not our usual Thanksgiving Dinner. So I missed our traditional bird, so of we went last night in search of a Turkey to cook , but came short on finding one. We all went to the market and as sick as we were with the cold, we still wanted to buy a turkey. But there were none left.
So we came home, only to find a turkey sitting in our sink . Yeah JC saw how much I wanted one , so he used my aunt and her husband who kindly sent the bird to us via my other aunt.

The best part was when my nephew said.. u were right, just like my bday card said.. all your dreams and wishes come true.. we had wished for a turkey and BAM!  here was one waiting on us to discover it.

I am so grateful for the time off and my family.. even though we all have a cold we were able to relax and enjoy our time off of course not with out first going to 7 am  church service, boy was it cold this morning, but it was well worth the sacrifice. I spent the weekend sick but had some quality time with my little nephew and we discovered the beauty of Netflix. All I can say is .. I loves it.
 I just finished seeing Julia & Julie and I loved the movie defntly a must see.

I am a huge Julia Child's Fan used to see her on TV when I was a child, I tell you between her and Martha Stewart, and Jacques Pepin I was in the fast lane to be a wonderful Domestic Goddess... but I am still not there yet.

*Ps.. the picture on the top of my blog was a Bday cake I baked for my BF a couple of years ago.. =)

**Psss.. Also I must confess I saw all of the following movies courtesy of Netflix
1. Free Willy 4
2.Confessions of a Shopaholic ( I have a story on this one)

3. The Labyrinth

4.The Land before Time
5. Monsters Inc. 

6. G Force 

Well time for bed.. xoxox may you all have a wonderful week blessed and in the presence of the Lord

Hello and Greeting.. I feel compel to share this with you as Thanksgiving approaches I am so grateful for many things. And I am really thankful, even if we struggle and have to work hard I am one of the few who still has a job. I am thankful for my family and specially for my parents. The years have taken a toll on them , their brown hair now covered with silver streaks.. I am thankful for having them and for making me the person I am today.

Yesterday as I arrived home and my Niece and Nephew (they are living with us) were waiting for me to eat dinner. Well when I saw how happy they looked as they ate their dinner. It brought joy to my heart. I know they are being taken care of and they are happy. They have both told My mom at different times and when the other was not around " Grandma I love You". Children equate Love with care and when a parent/ adult meets their needs they equate that to love.

Today as I arrived to work I received my email from Feeding America (formerly named America's Second Harvest). I remembered the joy in the eyes of D and B and how much they enjoyed their dinner. And I realized how important food is to a child. And how No child should go with out eating.

So today I am asking any one who reads this Blog. to Get involved. Make a Donation to this great Org. and put warm meals at the table for other kids to enjoy.

I know times are hard but we still have a lot to be thankful..also remember all donation no matter how small can and will make a difference.

follow the link and make your tax deduct able donation and help feed America.
