Thankful Kitchen Birthday

I wish I could write about what a wonderful Thanksgiving I had around the table with my family eating all sorts of homemade goodies. But I can't. Cause I was busy working. And yes, I'm slightly bitter. But in the end, although it was a very busy work night for me, I did end up having a Thanksgiving dinner. At 1:30 am. With my coworkers. Thank God I like my coworkers. My dear husband had gone to a friend's Thanksgiving dinner and they had so much leftovers he brought all of them to the hospital for us nurses. It was so sweet of them. And pretty much the only redeaming factor of the whole day.

These are some of my lovely coworkers enjoying our feast.

Although the actual day of Thanksgiving was lacking, the rest of my weekend was more than I could have hoped for! We got a lot done in the kitchen. We still have a lot to do, but it's all the little nitty gritty things that seem to drag out at the end of big projects.

A sneak peek.

It was my birthday on Saturday. I turned 28. All of my family got together at my parents house for lunch and cake. It was extra special since my cousin's and their kids were down from NC. Mom had a great feast for us. And I got a Singer sewing machine! I've already started compiling websites of projects I want to try.
