Hearty Brunch

by Nicci on 11/29/2009

I slept in today so I had brunch & caught up on ”90210” on the dvr.  I’m 6 episodes behind on this juicy drama show!

Brunch included Eggs with Spinach, sausage, turkey and sweet potato.

Chris and I headed to my family’s place to eat around 12 yesterday.  My family actually eats Thanksgiving lunch and then spend the rest of the day watching football or going to a movie.  My Mother did  a great job once again, like every year!

I ate one plate at my family’s and then we headed to Chris’ Aunt’s. I then had a small serving of salad, corn, turkey, sweet potato and slice of pumpkin cake drizzled w/ caramel and pecans. His Uncle made the cake and it was so delicious, I’ll have to get the recipe!

We watched the Longhorns and Cowboys kick butt!!

I didn’t even realize I forgot to eat cranberry sauce at my Mom’s and I didn’t eat cornbread or rolls….oh well! :)

P.S  Don’t Text and Drive

This occurred on Tuesday, but I didn’t know till yesterday

We arrived at my Family’s house for Thanks Giving, to see no mailbox.  A teenage girl came around the corner too fast and skidded down the street.  My Mother said, all they heard was a big BOOM; then she ran outside too see a CAR FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN. She claimed the life of the ”brick” mailbox and luckily the light post, next to the box stopped the car. The police came and took a report, then she cried and couldn’t remember her parents phone number. Duh! She knew she was in big trouble…her boyfriend came to pick her up but her vehicle took two hours to tow and flip back over. lol

Please don’t Text and Drive
