Girls, Goals and Goblins

Girls:  Last weekend I spent the weekend with my girl Carrie and some of her girls too.  It was nice.  Especially spending time with my lil' pixie.  Carrie cut her hair super short with a stylish wave and, of course, she looked great.  I like how liberal she is with her hair - blondie, brunette, half and half, long, medium, short...she does it all!  Her spunk is quite admirable.  Truth is, I would have preferred some more alone time with Carrie - especially since we're on a 'once a year' visit these days. 
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Leah's mom and aunt.  It's great to meet confident Canadian middle aged women with accents and a tongue for the liquor. Keeping up with Joan, glass for glass of wine, would be a lethal challenge. 

Goals:  I haven't set foot on the treadmill for over a week, and it's starting to get to me mentally.  Tomorrow, I begin a new plan, one that I can stick to, and is guilt free when I don't.  When I got back from Toronto I experienced a horrible night of chills.  That night, I promised myself to take care of my body for the insides, and not focus so much on the outside.  So eating right and taking vitamins is a must. I know it's not New Year's Eve or anything, but I'm experiencing that same urge for change, commitment, goal setting and celebration.  Bring it on!

Goblins:  Halloween is right around the corner!  I'm very excited about carving a pumpkin with Tyler and maybe even driving out into the county to get one.  Those are my favourite kinds of days...cozy, cool and cuddly with my Nausser away for the day.  Who knows, maybe a costume is in the works as well. The Latest kitty "treat" is one of my favourite Halloween songs - check it out!

A moment of Thanksgiving

Being appreciative... reflecting... remembering, and boldly looking foward - Yup, this weekend had it all.  I refuse to list every one or every thing I`m thankful for because, truly, when would this list ever feel complete? -I'm so damn lucky. Instead, here are the top seven 'Thanksgiving Weekend Highlights', in no particular order:

1)  Monday. Rejuvenation Monday, with my incredible husband.  (ok - this is number one)  "Helloooo... is it meeee you`re looking for?"
2)  Ordering "2 hard boiled eggs"  ; ) and watching Milly perform magic tricks in Kona Grill.
3)  The boat - specifically, sitting on the back of it with Mill-Lou, - ending another great summer of boating.
4)  The Peche Island fox, Eddie the dog, all kitties, and the Detroit Lions.
5)  Talking with mom on the rocks, and witnessing my dad in a box hat with beer glasses - what a sport.
6)  The dress and shoes - why was this experience so easy?
7)  Chatting with Carrie - (T.O. in less than 2 weeks!)

Well  - Like many other holidays, this one proved to be... intoxicating.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Keep your ears perked for a new 'kitty treat' sometime this week...
