The Plain Side

There’s nothing like writers block. I must apologize to my ever so interested and consistent viewers for my lack of writing. I've been tossing around several ideas for new entries and have come up short. Also, The Millers have been busy bees as family is in town for the week. But, I am making all efforts to keep everyone updated this weekend!

Driving to work felt wonderful this morning. First off, I was early. I dropped E off @ 7:50, R off @ 8:00 and was heading towards my destination (work) @ 8:05. How that happened? I am not quite sure. I've been cutting it close lately; two minutes too close so I moved quicker this morning. Secondly, as I was driving over the big bridge out of town I look over and the sunrise is absolutely beautiful. The sun was tucked behind the clouds just enough to wear I wasn't blinded by it but the light was blazing around the clouds creating purples, pinks, bright yellows and oranges in the horizon. Amazing!

Or maybe it felt wonderful because all though it is Wednesday it is my Friday. With the holiday tomorrow, I have a four day weekend. (Another perk of my office job.) And all though E woke up @ 2:00 AM and again at 5:00 AM to stay awake and play for an hour, I am wide awake. Waking up definitely took a bit more effort than usual. I had to pry open my eyelids and shove myself out of bed but none the less I survived.

I have high hopes for tomorrow. R has been talking about having smoked turkey for two weeks now, which he will be doing himself. I am looking forward to this. Can we eat already? Did you know Thanksgiving 2013 is the first official Miller Family Thanksgiving. Well, the first year we are hosting it anyways. And it is the first year Diane will be joining. I am looking forward to her baking tomorrow. And cranberry relish too. All day with our family (well the ones that can join us) will be a blessing. I will be thinking Maddi, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents that we won’t see.

While patiently waiting the smoked turkey feast I have been crocheting and creating like crazy. I am almost all set for the holiday market on Saturday. Please check out the details here. I am a fan of shopping local. This little market is a perfect place to start!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Keep loving.
