Some life changes happened with our family this week resulting in some last minute Thanksgiving week changes from the norm, in that we usually spend this week with my in-laws and instead, they came home to St. Louis. While we are absolutely glad that we were with them home with us, we are sad about the circumstances that prompted the rearrangement of the holiday plans. The holidays have been sort of somber for this clan in recent years. I am glad to report that they did arrive safely back down south after their visit home and I am eternally grateful to my parents for hosting a joint family Thanksgiving on Wednesday so they could have a nice meal and togetherness.

Thanksgiving ::: I am Grateful
It's been a fabulous year, and a fabulous life thus far. I am grateful for everything that this life has given me, and that I have earned through tons of hard work and a little good luck.
I am extremely grateful to you, dear reader, for coming and reading my words, and sharing in my work. Many of us, my family included, have lost loved ones young and old this year, and they will be missed tremendously over this holiday weekend.
Have the happiest of Thanksgivings, and please stay safe!

Tech Time ::: Turboscan
Every now and then, you're faced with a situation where you need to scan a document and have no scanner. Or you need a clean digital copy of a black and white letter or contract for you records...and you have no scanner. Or you want to get a letter and a receipt and a mileage or travel log all together and into a PDF to email...and you have no scanner.

Must Try ::: Green Bean Casserole

Ok, I know that many of you out there who are not from the Midwest are looking at the headline and thinking "what in the...," but where I come from, a family gathering without a green bean casserole is sacrilege!

Fashion Fix ::: Denim Trends and Thoughts
Denim is definitely a staple in my wardrobe, and really just about everyone else's. There are so many cuts and washes, and so many changing trends...it's hard sometimes to know what's best for your style and your body in the change sea of style.

Surely by now, dear reader, you have picked up that I am a vain woman. I simply love beauty products. And love all the accoutrements. It's kind of a sickness. But it's also damn fun.

Fashion Fix ::: Finding the Perfect Pair
Photo: Nordstrom.com
Finding the "perfect pair" of jeans can be an exercise in patience and humility, and even sometimes just exercise. Sometimes it takes a day, sometimes years.
I was formerly a "super-cheap jeans" buyer. Back in that era, Target sold some sort of Levi's variant and they were great for my wallet, and I bought a few Old Navy here and there. I just didn't bring myself to spend a ton on them in the past because I didn't "care." But I had an awakening when I decided one day to actually try some more premium denim on, when I was having a "good butt day." And that made me "see the light."
