Thanksgiving! Part 1

Was thinking this was a "make-up post" since I missed Friday being sick and miserable, but then I decided maybe I should just blog when I feel like it. It totally goes with my randomness and prevents those days when I just don't know what to blog about or having to wait till Friday when I have a great idea, then I forget that great idea by Friday.

Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday(nobody with the give-mes or I deserves) this year I was just not feeling it. I saw an ad for Tur-Duc-Hens for a store that has a location near J's school. I have always wanted to try one so I thought after I drop him off I will run get one...well they didn't have any not really surprised not an LA thing I am sure. First thing I saw was cranberries! Picked them up and read the bag...decided they were grown too far away for me to buy them, all the way across the country, the LONG way, not thrilling when I know they grow them just one state away. Saw a free range turkey that called to me "Pick me, take me home, I will make the bellies of your family happy!" so I plucked it out of the fridge and brought it home. Just a turkey wouldn't do and we were in desperate need of TP so E and I ran to the store near our house. I wandered ALL the isles they rearranged AGAIN about a month ago and I am still not used to it. grabbed some canned cranberries to go with the Turkey(would you believe I never tried them till a few years ago, because they looked too much like beats...that I tried in like 1st grade and didn't like?) Walked around the store 3 times the third time I finally found some french fried onions for green bean casserole(I was determined to find them, this is our third year here and we have been living without them and the always delicious green bean casserole) then on my way to the checkout I grabbed a box to make stuffing...I hate it but decided its selfish not to make it because I don't like it. I am so excited now I don't know how I will wait till Thursday!!!

locs

all hair can loc, all hair will left alone...these would be neglect locs

Locs have fascinated me for years...there are sooo many types and ways to start them and different levels of care they receive.

Hubby hates them! He thinks all locs are nasty, and he has told me this a few times now. Of course when you hear something that you know is not true you have this itching to prove it wrong(at least I do) I don't really want locs at this point and probably never really will because 1 Peter 3 and he said "Never have locs" but last week I twisted some strands to get them out of my face and chose not to comb my hair for some reason(probably sheer laziness) the next day my hair still looked great so I left it...and the next day I went to take fix my hair and found the 2 strands I had twisted had kinda locked together and chose to leave them and just keep twisting them up. Day 3 or 4 Hubby sees them and FLIPPED OUT. My stubbornness got to me...it took him days to notice I had twists so I wanted to just continue to leave it and see how long it would take him to notice. It has been a week of no combing and my hair is starting to loc up all over in neglect locs, it may just look like messy hair but its time to comb them out so I won't have locs like he told me, and he never noticed. I love the size the locs are forming but from what I have seen of neglect locs its not what I would want, I would want the hair sectioned. Best advice I have read on locs is educate yourself on them before jumping in.

Rain

How pathetic is that I am drawing a blank today but its raining so will blog about the rain!

Cold and rainy today so no fun stomping in the puddles

and no fun dancing in the rain

I love when it rains even if its cold. I see it as a cleansing from heaven. God may have promised not to flood the earth again but he doesn't ignore us and he does answer prayers. We need a little help and reminder to cleanse in our life and I think that rain does a great job of that.

My wedding was in the rain.
It may have been frightening to our witnesses, but it was an answer to the local farmers prayers and one of the best days of my life!
