Thanksgiving is one week from today! This is arguably my most favorite holiday of the year. This year I will be cooking for 11 people. And I love to cook so I do it ALL myself. I spend two full days cooking. But, again, I'm behind! I haven't finalized the menu, or the shopping list! And I'm sending the hubby shopping for everything tommorrow. I guess I better get on that, eh? Shame on me!
The good news is I have this entire week for VACATION. I'm so excited, it's my only complete week away from work this year (no, 6 weeks on disability hardly able to move around didn't count, because it felt nothing like a vacation!). And it will be busy -- busy with cleaning, cooking and shopping. But I think I kind of like that, actually. I've been slacking off too much on the weekends. At least this way I'll feel like I actually did something with my vacation instead of being lazy, since I can't actually go anywhere.
And finally, we're getting a new addition to the family! No, not the bun in my oven :P But a Holland Lop rabbit. Actually, we're planning on two, but in case erm.. "accidents" occur, we're making sure to grab them from different bloodlines. They're a bit hard to find around the St. Louis area, but we've got our first, and it's coming home with us on the 29th .. just over a week away! In case you haven't heard of the breed, the Holland Lop is the smallest of the Lop family, and maxes out at about 4 lbs if you have a true Holland Lop dwarf. This one we're getting has been hand raised, is about 6 weeks old, and will be ours shortly. Isn't he/she adorable?!
Well that's it for now. I will work on finishing catching up on everyone's blogs, and you'll certainly get a b-day/Thanksgiving update with pics!

Aw, what a cutie pie bunny!
Having time off is so very divine, isn't it? I've been getting a fair amount of stuff done even though I'm also kind of battling myself not to be lazy, but I am loving it! And, nope, deep down I'm not even remotely apprehensive because this was actually a good thing. :) I can't explain publicly, but it's over on the private blog; shout if you want in. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your time off!
I can't seem to get over here to bloggy land on a regular basis these days. Your bunny is absolutely adorbale! Happy Thanksgiving! Hope your dinner went off without a hitch!
How was your daughter's party? I bet you guys had a wonderful time! I miss your posts. Are you feeling better?
