  • Good Afternoon! Bad day for me! LOL! I forst didn't get to bed until 3AM and then I couldn't sleep worth a dam. My filling in my tooth fell out last week, I was going ot try and get through the holidays without going to the dentist and then make an appointment....well no way sister! My cheek was the size of a grapefruit this morning and I barely slept from the pain last night! SO went today to the dentist and filled it with pain meds....now I have to have a root canal next week on Wednesday oh well, at least it will get better after that!

    I had a blast last night with Michelle and Jill again....I expected no less You both are a riot! I don't have time to get personal with everyone but I do have a "blanket statement" for you all.

    I just wanted to let you know..I am so very thankful for all of you ! It has been a long year for me and I coudl cry at all the loss, but I have learned not to take for granted all the people that are stil alive and well in my life as well! You all have made sucha difference in my attitude, and how I cope. As well as motivated me to be the person that I want to be! I am truely grateful for everyone on this thread, their perspective, their encouragement and their giggles I have learned something from each on of you, like it or not! LOL! so Have a great turkey day!!!!! and don't take those that you love for granted!

    I will try and get here later, or tomorrow morning..no promises though! Gotta get cleaning and cooking with everyone! TTYL!

  • Hi all. Got my hair cut. Still not quite the way I want it, but I'm letting it grow out and the way it was means it's going to take several trips to get it back in the right shape to just grow.
    Anyways, I've got to get something for dinner and get ready to make that pumpkin cakeroll so I'll try to check in later.
  • Pumpkin Cakeroll
    OKAY, THIS RECIPE ACTUALLY WON AWARDS AT ONE POINT FROM THE LADY THAT INCLUDED IT THE RECIPE BOOK THAT I GOT IT FROM. IT IS MESSY TO MAKE, BUT ALWAYS REQUESTED.

    PUMPKIN CAKEROLL:
    3 eggs
    1c. sugar
    2/3c. pumpkin
    1 tsp. lemon juice
    3/4c. flour
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1 tsp. nutmeg
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1c. chopped pecans

    Beat eggs on high for 3 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar, then pumpkin and lemon juice. Slowly, FOLD in dry ingredients. When all is blended, pour into sprayed with cooking spray LIBERALLY,jelly roll pan, or I just use cookie sheet; standard size, whatever that may be. Cover surface with chopped pecans and bake on preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes. While in oven, cover a tea towel with powdered sugar and when cakeroll is done, IMMEDIATELY flip onto tea towel and roll up tightly. Let cool all night, turning over once.

    FILLING:
    1c. powdered sugar
    4 tbsp. butter, softened
    1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
    1/2 tsp. vanilla

    Mix all ingredients until well blended. Unfold pumpkin roll, it's okay if there are some cracks, ignore them. Spread filling mixture onto surface of pumpkin cakeroll, use all of it. Fold cakeroll back up WITHOUT tea towel and transfer to serving platter. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

    This really is a GREAT recipe if you're in the mood to make it. And since it's only once or twice a year, who cares about calories.
  • Thanks so much Crystal!
    I might give this one a try over the weekend as long as DS is home, then I'll splurge!
    I probably won't be on later on as he will be arriving soon, and won't be home tomorrow. I have so much to be thankful for, and I include each of you when I think of those I am grateful to have in my life. God bless you girls! Happy Thanksgiving!!

  • Hey Turkeys!!
    Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    I am not feeling so well, so I am thankful for a holiday!

    Our center director got fired, so there is a big shake up coming at work, which may mean a promotion for me...as some may quit over this. I am sad and hopeful at the same time. We don't know why the lady got fired, but several have gone with her...I think we will hear more next week! I may get the infant class I love!! But I have to pray for those that left...right here at the holidays, how sad!!!

    Mel...I have your gift...but haven't mailed it yet...It should go out Friday. I know I will love it, whatever it is!!

    I have a bad haircut right now Crystal...I cut it myself in frustration! It will grow eventually, but I hate it now! So, at least you don't have my problem. Everyone says mine looks good, but I just don't like it.

    YAY Chris...you go girl...I may exercise one day. maybe

    Geri...ON the meds...the doc said to put in pudding, or to even buy hershey kisses and give them one before and after the dose of medicine...the first one coats the tongue and the second erases the aftertaste...works well with Augmentin, so it should with the Advil. one of my sons use to hate meds so much, he'd actually get it down and then throw it up!!!!! You cansput the meds in wheatever you have to to get in in them. Let me know if it works!

    Kristin...sounds like a rough one for you!! (((Kristin)))

    Deana...the rain may have stopped here after 5 days of flooding! I hope the playgrounds atr school are dry by Monday.

    Roxy...Hey lady!

    everyone I missed...I am drifting off to dreamland and can't see tu type!!
