Let no worthy eaterie go unloved

My adorable daughter and her adorable ECV. I love this photo of them.

I haven't felt like my happy self in a muchisimo long time.

But this am I got up at 4, started the coffee, uploaded TurboTax, imported tax info, printed off daughter's college application, did some laundry before 5. That means I am feeling better.

It is Thanksgiving week and I know in so many respects I am among the blessed. I try to keep that in mind when and while I am in the midst of nonstop whining.

James seems to be tracking better with his lists of things to do. I know we all need a purpose and he is happiest in a project mode. There are many things he cannot do any more and so many that he can. I loved talking to him on the phone yest when he was doing leaf disposal with oldest grandson. There was a tone to his voice that said I am feeling so happy.

Now that the deep house cleaning is off, my happy seems to be back on. I have been buying and hoarding holiday things to sell on Ebay. Now is the time to start taking pictures of them and getting them listed. The extra dinero always comes in handy this time of year.

On a current hardline with youngest daughter who continuously is breaking her curfew. She and her latest beau have been working through issues and she lets that dominate her life and common sense. Last night I could feel her hate and loathing but it doesn't matter. She is almost 18 and has some maturing to do yet. I love her too much to let her be unsafe or frivolous about her future.

Work was better yest. I accomplished a couple of long-standing items. Yah.

I am starting to make the mental cooking timeline in my head. I cant wait to start the TG cooking process.

I am also looking forward to sitting down with MrsDomestic my lovely co-worker and sorting out and brainstorming our foodie blog that will be coming to a blog near you. We both enjoy dining out and finding great eateries...so this is our answer to letting no eating venue go unloved.
