Just force feeding my face like the Sweet Potato Pie, Pecan Pie, and Turkey glutton I can be known to be. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Fried Turkeys galore tomorrow along with doing something a little crazy with our 14 yr DD on Saturday night. Taking her to see Blue October, a local band from the Houston area. It's always good to support the local boys. The more interesting thing is that the crowd is heavy with the 40+ folks. I guess the band mates family and friends tend to show along with some younger kiddos. I would rather her experience good music with her awesomely cool parents than go to some crap One Direction show with 50K screaming brace faced peeing in their pants tweeners.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to all!

I've been living in NYC with a job 1000 miles from home. I flew back to Wisconsin after work last Friday, and it snowed 6" that night. My Husky loved it. DS is home from college the whole week. I get to see DW and all the kids the whole week. Some really great moments. Walking the dog with DS. Dropping DW off at work for a 7:00 shift and having breakfast with DD 3 before school. Giving DD 2 a long driving lesson. Eating a brownie DD 1 & 2 cooked. Nothing in the Big Apple can compare.

We actually have a little tourney starting tomorrow. Unfortunately with the holiday and a girl quitting this week we are one player short. We tried to find a sub but none were available so I agreed to let my older DD play with her younger sister's team.

I don't like the idea but push came to shove, and while she is still eligible, it is bad form.

I told the coach to not use her for evil purposes, just stick her in the bottom of the lineup and don't pitch her. Then the schedule came out....As luck would have it we are scheduled to play a team that has a bunch of 02 girls on their team and a pitcher that is a legitimate crow hopper, I mean full on replant and pitch girl. they beat us pretty badly last tourney....I think they are going to have a harder time making contact tomorrow.

Live by the sword...die by the sword.

I'm jealous. I love Blue October. I have a theory about why there are so many older people in the crowd. Remember Twilight? That was how I found Blue October. The author published a playlist for each of her books, songs where she found inspiration, or that went with the stories. And Twilight was probably more popular with 30+ women than with young girls. I read them all myself and I guess I was 34 at the time. I think a lot of bands who were on her playlists (including Blue October, Muse, Death Cab for Cuties) had a surge in popularity because of people pulling up the playlists and listening to them. My husband's become a fan of Blue October too but he'd never heard of them before I started listening to them. Cheesy vampires aside, they're a great band.
