Thoughts from Turkey Day
disclaimer: I’m a lotta bit behind on blogging, bear with me
- I was supposed to run the 10k Hobbler Gobbler, but since I was sick all week I didn’t. Made me think of how I lame I am because Erika will go out and run 20 miles with a runny nose and a massive headache.
- My room got cleaned, all my summer clothes are back in my armoire and all my winter clothes are in the hamper. I’m in trouble the next time I do laundry.
- I’m tired of sitting at the kids table and as a result, next year, I’m bringing a strapping young man with me to my family dinner. Then they can’t sit me at the kids table because I’ll have a partner and I’m the oldest of the kids with partners so the younger ones can return to the kids table. (If this backfires I’ll be sad, I’m tired of sitting at the kids table.)
- I found a reason to be thankful for my diabetes: no one touches my home-made sugar-free pumpkin pie that my uncle makes just for me. I get the whole thing all to myself. Finally, a benefit to having diabetes; I’m guaranteed a slice of pumpkin pie on thanksgiving.
- I missed my turkey day movie, which usually I can’t wait to escape for because it gets me out of the house. But this year, as I was playing cards with all the old peeps (parents, grandma, aunt, and uncle), I was actually enjoying it.
- I thought I ate healthy. I had carrots, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, cucumber, brocolli, peas, cream corn, mashed sweet potatoes (ALL KINDS OF VEGGIES!!!), turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, a roll…and then I’m told it wasn’t healthy, it was fattening…stupid butter.
- I watched The Christmas Card (a hallmark movie) with my parents when everyone left and fell in love with Nevada City. It’s so beautiful and green and yes I realize it’s grey and cloudy, but I love it none-the-less.

Oh Yeah. Mashed potatoes with butter - you might as well be eating about 12 GUs. And you’re going ot have to run it off, too!
Happy Belated Thanksgiving. I had to sit at the kids table too
But I got them back - I gave all the kids at my table soda!
