Thanksgiving and other fun!

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and yes I know I have not updated my blog in ages... so here goes...

Week of Thanksgiving:
Monday Uneventful I just worked and worked and then went home and played.. and then yes slept

Tuesday! Juanita my sister came down on a TRAIN!!! yes i am very proud of her for getting up and getting on a train and having the start of an adventure!
my brother Charles and his wife Debbie picked her up near the Trax station near them and then we met and had dinner. It was good food... and good fun.
Then she and I went back to my place to settle in for the night.
Unfortunately I as tired from working working working and went to bed around 11 on the futon in my computer room.
I always give my good bed to the guest :)

I woke up the next morning took puddi out for his business then made french toast with Great Harvest Cinnamon Burst Bread (thick cut) its the best and you don't need to even use syrup just a bit of butter and they are delicious.
Then we hung out, playing on computers and just chatting.

The Concert!
We jumped on the train to get to the Arena and go see Transiberian Orchestra in Concert. The concert started at 4 and got over at almost 7. I had not really listened much to TSO before so was not sure what to expect and was I surprised!
It was a very good concert it was just hard for me to cheer for any particular song because I didn't know any of them. But what amazed me was the perfect blonde quadruplets they had on stage for backup singers, and all the hair flipping rock stuff.. it was a good time and was fun to see Juanita enjoy herself.

After wards we went to Joy Luck cafe for some delicious Asian food. I had lettuce wraps and wonton soup, and Juanita had Pad Thai Noodles. then we went home and crashed after a stop off at Target for some needed supplies and I introduced her to Starbucks with a Hot Cider and I had a Chai egg nog latte.

Again I was really tired and so I went to sleep around 11 not sure what Juanita did but I know i fell right asleep.

Thanksgiving Day:
Woke up, Dog duty, quick breakfast of croissants egg sandwiches and yogurt.
goofed off watching Charlie Brown Thanksgiving while Juanita pulled out everyone of my christmas decorations and put them out. I am not Festive more so than I have ever been. We then headed up to my Niece Jamie's house for a good meal of Ham, deviled eggs, mini wieneres in BBQ sauce, Buffalo wings, salad, macaroni and cheese, potatoes, shrimp and olives! I was stuffed when I left and had a take home package of my favorites for later.
Took Juanita to her house and dropped her off, I am hoping she is more brave for more adventures in the future!

Since thanksgiving...
Got all my Christmas gifts, Paid Property Tax and just worked... what and exciting life I live!

Thanks for coming down Juanita and spending a few days with me!
