Playing ketchup

Just a little 'ketchup' on what's going on around here.

Randy, Ellen, and Sarah went to see 'The Sound of Music' with our own neighborhood star. Joe was playing the oldest Von Trapp son. They saw Joe's family and the Moores. Ellen's friend Katie Beth was working as a techie. Three thumbs up!

Randy got the new iTouch from work and we've all been envious. He got the new Spore game for it and I've been playing - too much! It's really cool, but the battery sure doesn't last long.

Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? I was going to get some cleaning done today, but it didn't happen. We did clean the fridge out to make room for the turkey. We are going a more eclectic route, with turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, plus a pasta entree and stuffed mushrooms for the vegetarians and turkey haters in the family. I'm doing the pies. I will post some recipes on my food website, so please check them out.

I went back to Dr. Reichman, the neurosurgeon. Still didn't get to see him, but that's okay. I am feeling so much better that I think surgery can wait, maybe forever. They gave me a new prescription that has really helped with my headaches and the massage has done some great things for the sciatica. I'm still not sleeping great, but I don't know how to fix that yet.

And I'm back at work as of Wednesday. So if you're at the mall and want to see me in my See's Uniform, stop by and say hello!

That's about it for now. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and Count Your Many Blessings!
