Day 117 and 118

I hope everybody had a very happy Thanksgiving!!!

Mine was alright. Definitely not the best Thanksgiving on record. There were no large family gatherings... after all it is the first Thanksgiving without Grandma. And I was all sorts of congested... which left the feast rather tasteless.

Here is Penny... eying up the turkey. We had lunch at my parents' house. The usual Thanksgiving food was present. And per usual I walked away with lots of left overs... which is what happens when you cook a 23lb turkey!

And of course is always football, which I find it weird that it is a Thanksgiving tradition. Don't get me wrong, I like my football, but I do feel that it takes away from quality family time.

Then for dinner we went by Josh's sister's house. I didn't eat. I wasn't really hungry. I felt sickly. Screaming children worsened my headache. All in all I just wanted to sleep.

Today was a day of cleaning. :) I love the aftermath of a good cleaning. It all started when I got a text message that my Christmas present was being delivered this morning: my grandpa's electric piano. :) Listening to him play the piano growing up is the reason I wanted to learn how to play. He is such a talented player. Now that he is in the nursing home he was ready to get rid of his piano. So, my uncle had everyone in the family place bids. I couldn't afford to spend money on it, so I passed it by. My parents on the other hand won the bid by $1. And thus, the piano made it's way to my house today.

Preparation for this included cleaning and rearranging the house to try to find a spot for it. We found the perfect spot! I have it in the same room as Josh's computer. He always gets mopey when I'm not by him, so this way we can each do our own thing in the same room!

I'm soooo rusty. I haven't really played much of anything in over five years. So tonight I sat down and ran through some warm ups and pounded my way through a few songs. I'm hoping to get proficient at some Christmas carols for this year. :)

Dear blogland, get excited for tomorrow....

I will be unveiling the before and after pictures of the "Great Bathroom Makeover"!!!!! There will be no painting involved but I'm setting up the bathroom with the new decor we received as wedding shower gifts. I just wish our walls were a different color and/or the flooring was different. Oh well, nothing I can do about that, but I can make the most of what I have!!!
