My favorite saying:

Shared pain is lessened Shared joy is multiplied

 
TGIW!

Yep, Thank Goodness it's Wednesday!
Unless I feel industrious, there may be no blog again till Monday. I hope you all have a wonderful Thankgiving day!

Once again, I should have a good busy day today, so it'll fly by.

Tonight, we need to start getting the house in shape tonight for tomorrow, and the smell of Turkey is very much looked forward to tomorrow morning! This is one of my favorite times of year. If it just weren't for the traffic and idiots shopping.. *frown*

So, my daughter comes to see me yesterday. Says her best friend is looking for a vacation place in January, and Sarah tells her "Ask my dad, he's the "travel guru" of the house", then proceeds to tell her friend that there was just a sale on 6 nights in London, air and hotel for $299. Her friend says "But I don't know how to speak French".
Long pause.
Sarah, biting her tongue says, "French? ENGLAND.. ENGLISH.. ENGLAND.. ENGLISH!" to which her friend says.. "But don't they all speak French there?"
Yes friends.. her friend IS blonde.

Where's everyone going for Turkey Day tomorrow? (I know Carrie's working cause she's a Canadian, but she's already HAD her Thanksgiving!)

Hey, have you all seen this picture before? It's from 1954, from the Rand company of what THEY believe a "home computer" could look like in 2004. I think it's hilarious! (and what's the big wheel for?)

Well, time for the news not fit to print:

And in the last of the "Odd things you can buy at Target", Look at the fine print under "Old Stuff"!
