Thanksgiving Blues

This is a picture from Saturday night. Lauren had a party at her apartment with all the girls.

As you all know, Ryan and I will be spending Thanksgiving here at home. Thankfully we will be able to see his family this weekend when we drive to Stamford though. I can't decide if I want to try to cook a turkey or just buy this turkey meatloaf thing I have bought before. Plus as of right now we havn't finalized our plans. We have invites to go to a work friend's house, Jordan's house because her fiance has to work, or just cook here for Ryan and I. I do have a menu planned though for whereever we go!! I have to work at night so for lunch Ryan and I plan on making green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, stuffing(from a package) and then somekind of pie. I am not sure how much Ryan is going to eat of the sweet potatoes, but those are a favorite of mine since mom always makes them! :) I hope everyone else has a great Thanksgiving and I can't wait until Christmas!! I still won't be able to see some of you, but at least I will be able to drive home.

Ryan and I have started Raider on a "diet". First plan-take him to the lake or for a walk everyday. Second-weight loss food. Third-read the book I got today at the vet!!! The book is about you and your pet losing weight and staying healthy together. It was free and the recetionist insisted I take more than one. So, I took one for Taco too!! hehe Mom already knows about it.

About the lake-Star loves going!! There are so many geese and ducks out right now and Star will run up and down the shore chasing, barking, and hoping in the air to try to catch them. It is soo funny. We have a video to show, but I haven't uploaded it yet. Yesturday their undersides were completely covered in mud and yuck from playing by the lake. I felt bad though because every two feet they got stickers in their paws. Ryan and I ended up carrying them.

This is when Star was running after them.
