Four Days of Bliss

I am so glad I took the entire Thanksgiving weekend off.  I hadn't had any time off since August when Bucket started high school.  I realize that's only 3 months, but my brain was pooped!  I didn't do anything super special.  I cooked, cleaned, saw the movie Lincoln (long, informative, interesting), had friends over for dinner, slept in, went to church, and went to the beach.  And I loved every minute of it.  I'm not even mad that I'm going back to work tomorrow.  I feel refreshed and ready to get back in it!

Nutmeg the cat tried to stalk these enormous cranes which were in our yard early Friday morning.  I wish I had gotten the shot of the crane chasing her across the yard.  I was too busy laughing.

I spent Thursday night sick a dog, I'm guessing due to my blood sugar issues.  I look pretty wiped out here, and I'm not even sure why I'm dressed or where I'm going.

I made a sugar and flour free pumpkin pie and it was great!  My blood sugar didn't spike and I was able to enjoy dessert with my guests on Saturday.

What I wore to church Sunday.  I don't look happy.  I'm not sure why, as I was in a fine mood and this dress is great.  It's Avenue, size 18/20, purchased in May with my birthday coupons.  With it being long sleeves I had to wait a long time to wear it.  It was 45 when Mr. R took this picture in the morning!

It finally got up to 70 degrees.  I took off the long sleeved dress, put on my Target dress, and splashed around in the very cold water.  Mr. R would not join me.

I love this man.  Really, really love him.

I took this picture from the Daytona Beach Pier.  I wish I knew how to surf!

What a great weekend!  Back to work, plus a doctor office visit tomorrow.  Have a good Monday (it's still a Monday, after all.)
