Gobble Gobble & More Internet Woes

I'm always amazed at how quickly long weekends fly by! Now to get to my Thanksgiving weekend recap.

Friday.

I've pretty much committed to a 5k at the end of this month. In anticipation of this commitment (still to be confirmed), I decided to get my ass back in shape by going running with Misty. My first attempt at a run was at night. I think we were both a little spooked out by how dark the park gets at night, so my attempt was cut short.

Saturday.

Massive beer for a massive burger

My bestie, Kat, had this amazing idea to go to a buffet on Saturday. I'm all down for buffets. And for using coupons for said buffet. So, Andrew and I drove out to the middle of nowhere to meet Kat and her fiance for lunch. Just to get to the buffet place and find out it was closed. Like, out of business. Good job, Kat.

So, Andrew and I went out to eat elsewhere and met Kat and DK at our place later that night.

 But first, the four of us took the dogs to the park.

Then we came home and took way too many awkward pictures like this.

And somehow managed to get one normal one.

And made delicious red velvet white chocolate chip cookies before calling it a night.

Sunday.

Remember on Friday, when I said I still didn't have internet? I ended up cancelling my services with Distributel and went with a different company. That company said they'd be at my place on Sunday to set up my internet. Great! So, Sunday I waited at home. And waited. And waited. And guess what? That's right! THEY DIDN'T SHOW! I don't know why I've been having such bad luck with getting internet but this is seriously getting out of hand! My next appointment is for this Thursday evening. Wish me luck!

Monday.

I woke up bright and early to run with Misty at the park. It was a gorgeous morning! So gorgeous, that after running for only a tiny bit, Misty decided to take in the weather and roll around in the grass. Who can blame her?

I spent the rest of the day cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

I started things off with a nacho dip.

I think I have too much chips in my house..

Then followed it up with chicken, turkey breast, stuffing, green beans and mashed potatoes.

Completed by an apple bake (which was delicious; thanks Dad for all the apples!) and a store bought pumpkin pie (which was gross).

Andrew said I made way too much food since dinner was only for four people. I definitely made too much mashed potatoes (I made them last year and they were amazing. I think I added too many potatoes this year). But, I'd rather have too much food than not enough!

Back to work I go! Apologies, again, for lack of posts, comments and slow responses. I'll be back to "normal" when I finally have internet!
