Thanksgiving came and went:-(.. and our 4 days off is almost over..how sad. Back to work but 4 weeks and we get to do it all over again so something to look forward to. As usual we had dimsum in the morning then an amazing dinner with family at my GooGoos.. we had 2 turkeys (so I can have leftovers:-)), prime rib, fried oysters, fried mushrooms, egg rolls, stickey rice, 2 salads, chicken wings, spareribs, potatoes..Chinese style thanksgiving:-).. oh and noodles..can't forget the noodles.. I made a strawberry cheesecake.. it went over well I think.. but our stupid oven wouldnt work on thanksgiving day and Brian was going to bake cookies for Jordan to take to Jenny in Boston.. he and Kit took off at midnight after dinner to go see Jenny ..so we took them over to GooGoos and made them there..worked out okay.. and today it decided it will work so go figure..stupid Kitchenaid - sure looks nice but living up to its name.. Anyhow, got done with dinner, got home around 10:30pm.. Jessica, Jaime, and Kelley did the midnight shopping thing.. We decided to stay home and not deal with it after spending 2 hours in traffic last year. Instead we set our alarm for 5am so we can go to Home Depot and get Brian the Rigid Tablesaw he's been wanting to get..well he really wanted the Bosch but Rigid is good too not to mention they had the black Friday special on it for about 200bucks off retail.. woohoo.. so alarm goes off, he decided, nah, too tired to get up.. so Stanley gets up at 6am (our usual time) and he wakes us both up so we decide to jump in the car.. we get in, see a big empty hole where the Rigids were and a guy carrying 2 out and 2 more on someone's cart..darn we missed it.. Brian kicks the empty cubby..but wait! there are 4 more says the salesman..woohoo! we loaded it, got some coffee..home before 7am so we decide to go out and shop! First time in a long time I actually shopped on Black Friday and it wasn't too bad..we got some gifts and some stuff for ourselves too:-).. The rest of the holiday weekend, I chilled and Brian did a bunch of housework.. cleaned out his garage for his new saw:-), put up more insulation under the crawl - house is so much warmer now..especially the kitchen, amazing difference.. and hung lights.. I'll have to take a picture of that some day..just sad that this whole holiday went way too fast

Oh Markane, I was going to take photos of the food for you but oops, got there, hungry, ate and forgot..haha..so heres a picture of what I did with the leftovers instead..turkey pot pie...mmmm..not bad for my first pot pie.. Enjoy!

new Rigid tablesaw.. not sure what it does but Brian promises me very nice bookcases, a coffee table, maybe an entertainment armour..hmm..we'll see:-)
