Thanksgiving In A Box

For this thanksgiving since it is only me, mom, nana and cleta (my great aunt), mom and i decided that we did not want to make a big meal so we got one of those premade meals from Cub Foods here in town. Comes in a big white box and has the turkey, mashed potatoes in a bag (yes in a bag), corn (also in a bag, man i wish i was kidding), turkey gravy in a can (sorry i am not making this up), stuffing in a tray and rolls. Mom and I just about died laughing when we saw the mashed potatoes and corn in a bag. Totally awesome but will be perfect for the 4 of us. I picked up a cherry pie for dessert and i am going to make my chocolate chip cookie pie also. Can't wait to just relax with these great girls and will let you all know how it went! Happy Thanksgiving all and hope your thanksgivings go well too!!

My first post in a while

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Kept forgetting that I did have stuff to update my blog with. Halloween was really great. I put together a costume so I was a halloween CSI. I wore my black kitty shirt from old navy and had my nametag say i was a CSI and my belt had film canisters that were labeled luminol, evidence bags, dna swabs and fingerprint powder. People at work liked my costume. Well my old manager Steve was demoted from our store and he got moved to our Edina store where he is just in photo sales. No idea of what happened but according to Nikki, he didn't handle a situation well. So it was really hard to let him go. My coworker Amanda and i just cried when Nikki told us. We really loved him so hard to see him go. We got the assistant manager, Mark, from Edina as our new manager. Took a while to get used to him but he is a really great guy. Well anyway, on Halloween, I walked in as a CSI and mark and mike, the assistant manager were all dressed up too. Mark was all out as a pirate and mike was a vampire. It was so funny and i was so touched when mike said they dressed up so I wouldn't be all alone. Anyway, not too much going on in MN. I will post some pics of mom's halloween decorations. They were very cute. I also made a really cute cake for dinner one night when nana was going to be coming over. I have a pic of that too that I will post. Other than that, mainly catching up on my shows that I watch. So far all have been good. I am a big fan of Heroes, CSI (vegas), Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, Family Guy and the Office. So far all have been really good this season. My friends Alec and Katie are doing good. They are coming up to their 2 year anniversary. Not sure if they have plans yet. Guess we will find out. I guess the big thing in my life is my sister having a baby boy! I am beyond excited for her. Can't wait to meet the little tyke!! Oh and i also had about the worst flu ever about a month ago now. I was sick for about 3 days. Was not fun at all and I ended up passing it on to my dad too. I felt so bad. Stupid flu!! Well i only get it every few years so it's not a big deal. But would rather not get it. Anyway, it's getting colder here but still no snow yet. Maybe we will get some soon. Not sure when but I would love to have a White Christmas. Guess we shall see! Well expect a new post with pics. Talk to you all later!!
