Just Checking In

Posted on by

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, did you eat a lot?  Thank you for all the well wishes, it did wonders in lifting my spirits.  In laws have been watching the kids and it has been quiet around the house, almost to quiet.  I am living from pain  pill to pain pill right now but each day is better.

Only I am crazy to contribute to writing a post every day the month of November (NaBloPoMo), the same month I have minor surgery scheduled, but after tomorrow I can say I posted everyday in the month of November.  Yep, I am crazy.

Since I am not suppose to be up and around decorating, reaching, lifting, etc… I am decorating my blog.  I personally love my little RSS guy with the Santa hat, =)

Be sure to check back December 1st I am having a neat little giveaway of something i have been enjoying lately.  Hope you are enjoying tons of leftovers! Now off to see what else I can decorate.

This will be a different Thanksgiving for me because I will be recovering from surgery, so could you do me a favor and eat an extra piece of pie for me.  Oh and tons of mash potatoes also!

Seriously, I want to tell you how thankful I am for each person who finds themselves landing here at Laurel’s Reflections.

Happy Thanksgiving.
