It’s been a busy last few days since I got back from my trip to Indianapolis (for thanksgiving dinner). If I wasn’t going to the gym or at holiday parties, I’ve been trying to tackle my clubs website and redesign it from scratch, since the old layout version is not user-friendly. I wanted it to be up and running by the 27th but just got told to hold off since we are changing the domain name and they aren’t sure what they want on the website. UGH. So I’m taking a break from that stress and thought I should update on here.

I’m looking forward to christmas, having christmas morning on my mom’s side of the house (I just have to walk upstairs) and the whole family clan will be there. Our huge family dinner isn’t until Boxing Day at my Aunts and my Mom and brother and I are going to another family dinner on the 27th. So dinner on Christmas day isn’t gonna be huge deal this year since its just the three of us. Though I’m thinking of cooking something on the bbq. How trying to think what to cook is gonna be the hard part.

Odd! I had this post set for Tuesday the 13th but just noticed it didn’t publish. So here it is..

My thanksgiving was filled with outrigger and spending time with the family and friends. On Saturday instead of the normal dragon boat practice, we opted to take out the 6man outrigger instead since not that many people wanted to paddle on the long weekend. The lake did not look choppy/white cap-ish but there were pockets were we paddled though were I just felt like I was gonna be seasick if we stopped paddling. Later that night we had our family thanksgiving dinner, the food was amazing there was barely any leftovers. The picture above is the pumpkin cheesecake that my cousins girlfriend made.

Sunday I helped out at a Outrigger regatta as one of their timers. It was great fun but for the fact it was freezing cold all day long. I was wearing two of my hoodies and I was still cold. And on holiday Monday my Mom and I headed over to my best friends for her vegetarian thanksgiving dinner.

Now only a month and a bit until I’m state side for US thanksgiving dinner. turkey smilie icon
