Visited random.org and they kindly provided me with the winning number of my Thanksgiving contest…

Comment #47 is the winner – Kelley Vitollo! Mega congrats! Email me at karen.e.erickson @ gmail.com (minus spaces of course) and claim your prize!

I want to thank EVERYONE for stopping by and sharing what they’re thankful for. So many of your responses were so incredibly touching. I enjoyed reading each and every one of them. We have a lot to be thankful for and sometimes, I think we forget that. I know that I do.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I’ll be back Friday…

Thanksgiving Contest!

What are you thankful for? Tell me all about it and you’re entered to win this:

Ooh free yummy smelling lotion from Bath & Body Works (Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin scent). Who wouldn’t want to win that?

Just tell me what you’re thankful for this year in a comment on this post. It could be as simple as the roof over your head to your mom’s homemade pumpkin pie. One lucky commenter will win the lotion. And maybe a couple of other little goodies as well…

So leave a comment! I’ll keep this post up for the next couple of days – winner will be announced Wednesday November 26th. (One comment per person please)

What am I thankful for? My family and friends, my writing and all of the joy it brings me, my cats and my dog, the internet (!!) and my health (see how the internet trumps health, ha!).

Thanksgiving Dinner

I made an early one. You see, late last year I earned a giant turkey breast from the supermarket and I immediately tossed it in the freezer. Well, almost a year later I decided to make it for dinner.

I was worried. Would it be yuck? And OMG it was waaay bigger than I thought, how long is this thing gonna need to cook?

Well never fear it was delicious. Kind of like a pre-run before the actual big day. Which I am hosting but not panicking over this year. I got a break last year so this time around, I’m actually a little excited. I’m trying out new recipes and everything!

Why don’t we eat turkey more often? It’s good stuff!
