THURSDAY - November 1st[/size]<br />
<br />
Good morning Crazies and welcome to another month.  Once November comes around I go into &quot;holiday&quot; mode and things will get busy from now til the end of the year. As expected all was quiet around here yesterday so it didn&#39;t really seem like Thanksgiving other than the parade at Ashleigh&#39;s school.    It seems like I just got all the Christmas decorations put away from last year and now the day after Thanksgiving I will be taking them all out again.  <br />
Today I will concentrate on putting away the Halloween things and begin getting ready for Thanksgiving.  <br />
Who will be cooking for Thanksgiving?   I know I will and am looking forward to it.  <br />
<br />
Cheryl - glad things worked out with Penney&#39;s.  It&#39;s too bad you have to lose your temper to get things done the right way but unfortunately sometimes that is the only way.  I hope your jewelry arrives on time and your friends appreciates all you have gone through to get it on time. I&#39;m sure she will love the gift.<br />
<br />
Jenn - hope your Halloween went well after all the work you put into it.  Will you be decorating for Christmas also?  We&#39;d all love to see the finished display.  <br />
<br />
Keith &amp; Rita - how was your first Halloween in your new home?  Did you have a lot of kids or was it a quiet night?<br />
<br />
Rose - are you packed yet?  Hope you have a grand trip and the hurricane doesn&#39;t change any of your ports but I think you probably wouldn&#39;t care anyway - just as long as you are away.  <br />
<br />
Jackie - safe travels to you and Tony.  Hope you have a wonderful trip and come back with lots of adventures to tell us about. <br />
<br />
Tonia - hope the cast comes off as planned.  I&#39;m sure your arm will look very funny where it is not tanned.    <br />
<br />
Carmen &amp; Maria - hope you are both doing OK and feeling better day by day.   <br />
<br />
Skipper - have a good trip to Ca. (if you haven&#39;t left yet).  Glad things have quieted down there before you arrive.<br />
<br />
Robert - hope you are finally caught up with the laundry.  I know when I got my new washer/dryer combo and had it put in the laundry room off the kitchen (instead of down in the basement)  I washed everything I could get my hands on.  I really didn&#39;t care if it was dirty or not - I just had so much fun doing laundry (that feeling wore off real quick - now it&#39;s just another chore to be done.  hehe)<br />
<br />
Well time to get Jim up and moving.   Nothing special planned for today other than un-decorating and perhaps today I will start to clean the china closet in preperation for Thanksgiving.  I really should use my &quot;good stuff&quot; more often so I don&#39;t have to go through this several times a year.   <br />
<br />
Make today special and share a smile.
