Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

~Erma Bombeck

On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime. ~Author Unknown

Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants. ~Kevin James

The thing I'm most thankful for right now is elastic waistbands.

~Author Unknown

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
~Author Unknown

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.

Redecorating

Must be the redecorating time of year. Gave the blog here a face lift, and today, I spent several hours updating my website, from the template to adding sidebars - added those last night, then spent 2 hours this morning looking for where to go modify them. Shoulda checked the "help" section much sooner than I did. Added a couple of new pictures, too. And I posted a brand new Thanksgiving set short story. All in all, I think the redecorating bug has been satisfied.

I SAID, THE REDECORATING BUG HAS BEEN SATISFIED.

Pardon my shout. The Redecorating Bug just suggested maybe I should paint the master bedroom en suite bathroom. The RB already insisted we needed to replace the nasty blinds in the family room with sheers.

If you need a quick read, head on over to my WEBSITE, and sign the new guestbook while you're there - if you have a mind to do so.
