Thanksgiving

Well, today we went to a Wedding for a friend of mine that works at the resort. It was a beautiful small wedding and I am so very happy for her!!!  She finally found the man for her and they are now very happy together. There was lots of laughter and lots of tears. The grooms father passed away a month or so ago and so there was a little tribute to him and then a lovely song was played (it was the Bride and Grooms song) and it made people cry. Mostly me!!  lol. Wow have I been emotional lately. Anyway, it was wonderful and the food was great too! I posted a ticker to countdown until our wedding and also one to count down to Christmas!!! It's at the bottom of my page!!! lol. Now one day I will figure out how to put pictures on here and then maybe you can see some!!

 Tomorrow my dad is cooking a turkey as I am working all day. I can't wait to get off work and go for turkey. I have to make the gravy when I get there though but that's ok. I have to remember to set the PVR to record my shows because although I know we will get to watch them at dad's house, he will talk all the way through them and then I can't hear them. I still haven't watched my show's from this week!! lol. Tuesday is going to be a day of staying in my jammies and watching my shows while curled up under my comforter!!! Also, I bought a couple of movies and so I would like to watch them too. One of them is Wall E!!!! I haven't seen it yet and am dying to see it!!! What better time to watch movies than when it's cold out?? :) That's what my mom and I used to do. I find it hard to do some of the things that we used to do together, it's just not the same without her!!!! I try to do them with other people, but again, not the same!!

Well, better go and try to get some sleep. 6 am comes quickly these days!!!

Thirst Thursday

Hi there. Well, I have been in this weepy, emotional mood for a few days now. I don't know exactly what it is from. It could be that I miss my brother and his family, it could be that I miss my mom, it could be just my hormones!!! I don't know. I didn't sleep very much last night and even though I feel pretty good lately, everyday at work, the girls are asking me if I am ok. "Are you ok Cherie?" "You look tired today" or "you look pale today", that's a very polite way of telling you that you look like heck and what's the matter with you!!!! Sigh.....

So today I was like "do I look that bad that everyday people have to comment on it? Because I am feeling fine and you all are telling me how crappy I look". lol. I don't think they quite knew what to do. haha I felt bad afterwards because I know they care about me, see told you I was emotional!!! :(

Anyway, I am not sure why, but I cannot get enough to drink today.......hence the title of my post. I have had 12 litres of water today, 3 cups of tea, two cups of hot chocolate and a can of Coke Zero and I am still thirsty!!! Not sure why this is!!! I guess I have a lot to talk to my doctor about next week when I go for my checkup. I know I have lost weight so I can't wait to see what the scale says this time!!! I don't go until the 15th so it's like a week away still!! :(  Oh well.

We are going to a wedding this Saturday. It is a girl that I am friends with at work. She is getting married at the resort and so we are going to help her get ready on Saturday morning and Jeff is going to help with set up and stuff and Peter is doing the music for the ceremony! Then it's just a small reception. So that's nice.

We are going to the hot tub when I get off work tonight!!! I can't wait. My body is screaming "I want to relax in the hot tub"!!! lol. I find I sleep better when we go to the hot tub. It relaxes my body and muscles and mind so that I go home and go right to bed and then I sleep just fine.

Well, better go run my reports at work. Been a really slow, quiet night. My hours get cut next week. :( But I guess it's good because there's nothing to do.

Have a great night!!!

Well, this weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving!!! Kind of bittersweet but looking forward to having turkey and a nice family visit. We are having our dinner on Sunday (the holiday is on the Monday). I work until 4 pm on Sunday so I don't have to do any of the cooking!!! Dad is going to cook the dinner with Peter and Jeff's help I would imagine!  We are also having a friend or two for dinner too!! It should be nice and we will also watch our Sunday night shows!! We watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Desperate Housewives and Brother's and Sister's. So, most of the evening on Sundays we spend sitting watching TV and crying!!! lol. Sounds inviting doesn't it? lol.

It's getting quite cool outside! :(  We haven't had any snow yet down here in the Valley. We can see it on the top of the mountains which is why we are getting the colder weather. The ski resorts around here have gotten a good dump of it already and I am sure they are excited to get more!! I guess for spring to come back we need to get through winter so bring it on and lets get it over with!!! lol You know you are getting older when every bone, joint and muscle in you aches when the weather changes and gets colder!! haha I actually have some extenuating circumstances with that too but some of the discomfort is due to a bit of arthritis, etc...I also have Lupus. That is an Autoimmune disease. Instead of protecting my body, my immune system attacks my body and system. I will write more about that another time. I have been changing the way I eat, exercise, and the doctor changed my medication. I have been feeling a lot better lately and have been able to sleep more! You have no idea how great full I am for more sleep!!! Anyway, we will see how this winter does for me. Last winter did a number on me and my system so hopefully with all the new things I am trying (thanks to my wonderful sister in law), I will do better this winter!!! My sister in law has been a great source of information and a great inspiration in me changing things and trying things I would never had tried before! Thanks Pen!!!!

Well, should go and get something done around this house while I am off today!!! Wish me luck. We are going to dads for Pizza tonight!!!! Woohoo!!!!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

That's what I would like to be doing right now!!!! Sleeping!!!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz We got home about 2 am and I had to get up at 6. :(  I know it was my own choice and I am not really complaining, I am just saying that I would love to be back in my jammies and in bed or cuddling on the couch and snoozing there. :)  Only 7 more hours til I can do that!!!! But hey, who's counting??? lol. We are having ham tonight and watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition!!! I LOVE that show! It makes me cry all the time! I love hearing their stories and then watching as their entire lives are changed for the better. There is way too much bad news in the world today that I find that show just brings some good back into it!! Cudo's to the entire team it takes and all the people that work to make all these families feel whole again!! It takes some very special people with big hearts to provide all that help and support!! I just wish they did that here in Canada as well!!! Maybe one day!?!

It's very cool outside today! Definitely not summer anymore!! Already I can hardly wait for Spring!! lol. Except I don't want to miss Christmas!!! lol. I know, I am a strange one!! If we could have nice warm weather, nothing under plus 10 celcius for the year that would be great!!!

Ooooooooohhhhhhhh, my sweetie is very nice to me!!!! He is going to Tim Horton's for me right now!!! :) While I am here working (or supposed to be), he feels sorry for me and is going to get me nurishment!!! :) I love him!!! xoxo

Well, have a good day. Must accomplish something resembling work while I am here!! Gate Cards here I come!!!! lol
