I have Twilight in BluRay I rented from Netflix waiting to be watched. When is this baseball game going to be over?

The bluray version of Twilight is soooo much better. (You'll really see the difference in the meadow scene - it's dazzling.)

Hi Peeps. This is from yesterday, our first time ever at F&W. We started counter clockwise and our first booth was San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Since this was our food start for the day we figured we would get both appetizers offered. Arroz con Pollo (left) and Ham Croquettes (right). The first dish rice with chicken.

I got the Arroz con Pollo. This dish had a couple of smidges of chicken. Not much at all. Three 1/2 inch cubes wouldn't have been too much to ask for. I liked it but the spice was a bit much for Deb's pallette. I knew this and didn't even have her try. Albeit the lack of poulty, this dish had some decent flavor with ample pepper.

Deb got the little baby finger sized croquettes. These tasted good but the portion was too small and the filling was moosh. We still would rate these ok but we would not get them again purely from a value standpoint.

Time to crash now and I'll be posting more tomorrow. Kiosk #2 will be Santiago, Chile.

Any frosty beverages to wash down the chicken smidges and fried ham moosh?

 

[jeanigor]

This must be your surprise.

One of them. But not the one you know about.

Kristen just posted on FB that she was at Wal Mart and heard Christmas music and I just got my first email from the Black Friday people. IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO HALLOWEEN YET!!!! What's going on??!!! I'm with Charlie Brown, it's just so commercial!

You got Black Friday e-mails....share...share....SHARE, please.

Everyone has heard that I spend the better part of most work days in meetings, most of those are management related but every once in a while it is focused on an individual situation. Today was one of those days.

I generally talk about my work on the boards in pretty vague terms, mostly because it is hard for people to understand but also out of respect for the privacy of the people that my agency supports.

Today we met with the parents of a young man we have been supporting for about 6 months. I first met these parents about 9 months ago when they were reeling with the diagnosis of schizophrenia for their 20 year old son. This is such a devasting diagnosis for families - not because there is not hope because there is but because it is still experienced as a failure or fault by the parents. I am always amazed at the resiliency of people. This family who spent most of the time during the first meeting asking where they could get a second opinion and denying the struggles their son was having are moving through their own recovery process and coming to terms with their son's illness. It is still a long process and will have many ups and downs.

It always comes home to me how blessed I am to have relatively healthy kids.

Thanks for listening. Back to DAP planning.

It's hard. It took me months, and several trips to the ICU, before I came to grips with my diabetes. Do I like it? Nope. Do I want it? Nope. Can I live a pretty normal life with it? Yep. And that's what I intend to do.

Me, too. My sister got me started on it. She is not a lawyer. But she is maried to a lawyer / politician and she is in the middle of the start of a divorce and there is the "other woman".

My first iPhone post!!!!!

 

[jeanigor]

I love your pictures.
Don't get me wrong, christmas is my favorite time of the year.
I also have to start putting up our lights outside soon, but not before thanksgiving.

Yeah, but your Thanksgiving is in what two weeks?

 

[jeanigor]

Christmas decorating starts this weekend at our house. I am on our DCL cruise for 2 weekends in November so I am a little worried everything will not be ready for lights on the Sunday after Turkey day and yes the lights do dance to the music. Not quite the Osborne lights, but I do enjoy it.

DP loves the Dachshund in lights in your photo!!!! (I do too.)

 

[3guysandagal]

Actually, it's this Monday!

Heading for the cottage again.

I haven't missed a Thanksgiving dinner at the cottage since 1972!

Have a great sleep buddy.
Tell Deb I say hi!

Nope it's this coming weekend !
I am thinking of taking the boys to the toy story double feature.
I just don't know if the little guy can sit through 2 movies back to back.
