FRIDAY - November 16th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good Morning Crazies and TGIF - another week has flown by and the holidays are now right around the corner.  Tomorrow it is time to get the turkey and begin defrosting it for next Thursday.  This year it will only be Deb &amp; her family and my elder brother and sister-in-law  so we will only be 8 for dinner.  Since the smallest crowd I usually have is about double that size I don&#39;t know if I will be able to manage that LOL.  At least there will be plenty of left overs for our cruise friends who will arrive bright and early Friday morning for the weekend.  The rest of the family has other plans and Dave has to work on Friday so 6 hours of driving on a holiday is a bit much.   Who else is cooking for Thanksgiving?<br />
<br />
Tonight we are going out to dinner and to the State Theater a few towns over to see George Carlin.  With all the babysitting I have been doing this week I am really looking forward to a night out and an adult dinner.  <br />
<br />
Carmen - hope you are doing well and feeling better.   Hopefully the injection gave you some relief and wasn&#39;t too much of an ordeal for you.<br />
<br />
Maria - I guess you are on a &quot;try and see how it goes&quot; diet with your ulcer.  Hopefully you will get in under control before the holidays and your cruise.<br />
<br />
Sue - have a wonderful visit with your family and enjoy your time together.<br />
<br />
Tonia - good luck at the Dr. today.  I hope you get the news you want about going back to work.  <br />
<br />
lashl - sounds like you will be busy trying to keep your pup quiet but it&#39;s good that she is doing well.  What ship will you be taking your son and daughter-in-law on.  Be sure to add it to our Upcoming cruises list so we can wish you Bon Voyage when it is time.  <br />
<br />
Rose - glad you got started on your shopping.  It&#39;s always great when I get the kids out of the way and I have done the shopping for all our &quot;unrelated&quot; kids.   Of course the grandkids change their minds day by day so it is hard (especially since Grandma is a real sucker and runs everytime they see something they want)<br />
<br />
Keith &amp; Rita - love your new avatar.  Was that from last Christmas or are you ready for this year already?  <br />
<br />
Cheryl - hope you had fun in the hobby shop - I can&#39;t believe we will be pulling out the Christmas decorations as soon as our company leaves next Sunday.   Can&#39;t wait to see pics of your trees.<br />
<br />
Time to get moving and start my day - lots of things to do today now that the rains have ended - sure does look cold outside though - not looking forward to that.   <br />
<br />
Make today special and share a smile. <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />
