Thanksgiving 2008

Mike had to work today as they had 600 guests at One Market (www.onemarket.com).  Wow!   Just WOW!   He is a busy, busy boy!  The boys and I went to my Aunt Trisha's home in Maaaaaaaaan-teca, which used to be home to the famous waterslides but is now home to the not-so-famous RV sales center.  In Spanish, Manteca means "lard".  That kills me everytime I am reminded of it!  

I was motivated to get this blog started to day by my wonderfully creative and spunky cousin Suzy, who currently resides in China.  She has always been a very positive and inspiring person.  I have always admired that about her.  Funny how we think things like that about people and never tell them.  She is also very beautiful.  On the outside, which is important in this world but also on the inside, which is important in the bigger scheme of things.  I really like that about her too.  So, Suzy, thanks for the motivation to get this thing rolling.  This one is boring but I have no doubt that you'll "pimp" it for me just right!  *LOL*  

I was thinking just yesterday that I needed to write some things down before they left my brain since I have yet to do baby books for my boys.  They are 4.  Great mom.  4 and no baby books.  For heaven's sake!  What a loser!   But, Jonah, my taller, curly-haired boy, loves water.  The neighbors next door are redoing their home and as a result, there is often water in the gutter.  Jonah sees it and goes to say hello to it.  He calls it his "water friend".  He says "Hewo water fwiend!"  He struggles with "l" and "r" still.  It sounds darling!   He loves to walk along side the water as it runs toward wherever it is headed and talk to it.  He is a real sweetie- pie.  Caleb is a sprite in every way!   He is just magical.  He never slows down and his comedic timing is impeccable!   There is a comedian who has a dog puppet I guess, I don't know who he is but Mike does and apparently the comedian will talk to the dog and say "Do you like xxx" and the dog will respond "Yes, it's wonderful...for me to poop on!"  or something along those lines.  Well, about a year ago, Caleb saw a short clip and noticed his daddy laughing really hard.  About 3 months later his dad and he went somewhere and Caleb busted out "Daddy, that is nice xxx.....for me to poop on!"  I suppose you had to be there but his father found it very very amusing!

OK- I am going to go and watch my weekly smut TV- The Office and Paris Hilton's My New BFF- my only 2 hours of weekly TV that is just for me!   We are down to 4 BFFs.  I wonder who got the boot this week!  

Peace, love and pumpkin pie to everyone.  Remember to say your prayers and be thankful for all of the little things tonight.  This world is a crazy place and sometimes, just curling up under a cozy blanket is enough to make me grateful!
