Happy Thanksgiving ♥



Five Little Turkeys

Five little turkeys standing at the door,One waddled off, and then there were four.
Four little turkeys sitting near a tree,One waddled off , and then there were three.
Three little turkeys with nothing to do,One waddled off, and then there were two.
Two little turkeys in the morning sun,One waddled off, and then there was one.
One little turkey better run away,For soon it will be Thanksgiving Day.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of good food, laughter, friends and family!
Love,
Carrie

Twilight and the Weekend

Saturday Robyn, Amy and myself went to see Twilight I will tell you I had no expectations for the movie at all because I know how difficult it can be sometimes to get a book on to film. For me it was ok nothing special but enjoyable. I think if you haven't read the books you would not get from the movie how much they love each other. That's my spin! What did yall think? The husbands saw James Bond and Noah saw Bolt he like it alot. Afterwards we all went to eat at Wild Wing it was very tasty.

Yesterday I painted this table I am so loving the color its called Treefrog I feel like I really need some color in my house its all just too brown right now! Its not as bright as it looks in the picture. And cooked a wonderful meal thanks to my handy dandy crockpot!



I hope everyone has a great day I think I am pulling out Christmas stuff this afternoon!

Oh I almost forgot we eat breakfast at Johnny's grandmothers for Thanksgiving does anyone have a good breakfast casserole recipe?

My new job



A little background for those of you that don't know I left my job about 5 months ago as a victims advocate at a domestic violence shelter due to burn out and some stress related medical issues. (sorry for the long sentence). Well I put in for a part time office manager/event planner for a formal wear boutique and got the job I am so excited it is so different from anything I have ever done.
