Trying not to emotional eat. I work in a school, the latest Tradgety is heart breaking, plus we lost a calf last week and we had to put a horse down yesterday. 

Hey Nikki, I can empathize with putting a creature down.  I was at my MIL's when she had to have her dog put down and it really broke my heart.  She (the pooch) just slipped away very peacefully.  I hadn't anticipated it being that emotional.

I'm sorry.  I know that when I had my sister's old horse put down, I knew it was time but it was still hard.  Sometimes it is the kindest thing we can do for them.

Sorry about your calf and horse. I hate butchering season because you can hear the calves crying and crying.

Good Menu!

Oh yuck.  At least the prep is the worse.  then it is a breeze. 

Colonoscopy......yuk! That whole process is nasty....LOL I'm glad it's not something we have to get done every year.

DH got a teeny weeny tree that already had the lights on - he wasn't in the mood for going in the loft (or losing a corner of the lounge).

I may have some cashews, but probably not - I guess 100g+ isn't too bad for an off day.

I love our tree but if it was up to me it wouldn't get done. DH does all of the work and I enjoy it. Our girls and their families put all of ornaments on it. 

Did Gina's menu make you hungry...LOL.
