Old woman

That's me. Officially old. I made the big two-zero today, and let me tell you, the aches and pains have begun. Or maybe that's just my food settling from Thanksgiving meal #2...? *Grin*
Here's a quick run-down of our weekend...

12:30pm - Turkey's done (ack! a bit early)
1:00pm - 2:00pm - Chaotic kitchen frenzy
2:15pm (ish) - Eat... yum2:45pm - 7:30pm - Food settles, games, people talking all at the same time, dessert...

Marissa - Worked (banker's hours aren't all they're cracked-up to be)
Peter - Well, here's proof that I married the most wonderful man in the world! You can only imagine the state our house was in after all the festivities on Thursday, w/much dishes to still be done, and tables to be cleaned, floors, chairs, etc etc. I came home from work Friday night to find: Dishes - clean. Floors - mopped. Tables - cleaned and put away. Chairs - cleaned and put away. Kitchen - spotless. And on top of all that... 7 loads of laundry washed and folded. Wow. How did I ever get so lucky??!!!!!!!!!!
