WW - A Thanksgiving to be remembered

My most memorable Thanksgiving would have to be the Thanksgiving that Jim and I enjoyed a romantic lobster dinner for two.

In the hospital!

Ok, it wasn't really all that romantic, but it was a special lobster dinner and one I will remember for the rest of my life.

You see, 11 years ago on the day before Thanksgiving my beautiful daughter Kate was born.


Kate wasn't supposed to arrive until December 5th and she wasn't supposed to arrive when her Daddy was a 4 hours drive away (that's another story).

But as all parents know by now, kids don't always play by the rules.

Back to the lobster dinner.

Since Kate made her appearance the day before Thanksgiving that meant that I would be spending my Thanksgiving in the hospital.

The hospital I gave birth at used to provide all new parents with a special dinner before the were discharged.

One of those choices was a lobster dinner, wheeled into your room on a beautifully set table.


This wasn't your ordinary hospital food! It was delicious!

I found out later that the hospital was going to discontinue offering Lobster as a dinner choice after November 30th.

So it was a good thing that she came 10 days early!

After all having a baby without drugs deserves more than your standard hospital food.

But Thank you little Bee for speeding into my life.

And on this day I want to wish you a Happy 11th Birthday!

Wordful Wednesday!

Blogger!

I don't know about all of you, but blogger has been giving me fits lately. I know, I know, I should be grateful that I can have a blog for free, but for goodness sakes......you are Google people! Can't your techno nerds keep things running smoothly? Or how about a little heads up if certain features are on the blink?

For the past week it has been hit or miss if my own followers list actually shows up on my dashboard.

A typical day finds me logging on to my Google account to be informed that I am currently not following any blogs! Ahh, really?

When the followers list does appear there have been several blogs coming up blank. That makes me think they haven't had any new posts. After more than a week of one blogger coming up blank I decided to go to her blog and low and behold, she had been putting up new posts!

I hate when that happens because I hate missing anything, plus I would hate for someone to think I dumped them!

FYI, I take my stalking seriously, so you would have to break up with me first! :)

Blogging has been made even tougher for me because I am still without my beloved iMac. I have a big list of people I follow, but I have an even longer list of blogs I bookmarked. Can't get to them until I get my stinkin' computer back!!!!

On a non crabby note. My little Bee turns 10 today! When I am back on my computer I'll have a proper Birthday tribute to share.

Oh, that reminds me how much I dislike having to use my husbands PC laptop! I'm sorry people, but for those of you who don't use Apple computers, you don't know what your missing!
