Forgot how to sleep in

It is true, I can't sleep in! Sunday morning after sharing some Captain with Brad I am up before 8AM. I could blame this on a few things.

1. I am just so excited to attack this beautiful day! Grab a coffee, head to the beach then go watch the Miss Bondi contest.....or

2. Maybe it was the alarm sometime in 5AM's then the 7AM's  to check the score of the BIGGEST game of the year. Ohio State VS Michigan.  Dang it Ohio state!!! All those early morning score checks...for what! You guys must not understand Brads dedication to you....could have kicked those field goals a little better.

Does not matter why I am up or how I am up the important thing is there is lots to catch up on so I will take this time to do just that. I guess we should start with Thanksgiving.  At all these parties and gathering there are at least 3 people with fancy cameras working on their skills. Once I harass them to email or put the pictures up on facebook I will share. For now I will just put a few sneak peakers up!

There were two big things that happened on Thanksgiving that I will never in all my life forget. Well no....3 things.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I CARVED THE TURKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at the size of that BIRD. Ryan started it....gave up...all the American boys were outside playing catch. No one else really understood what an important job the turkey carver has...no one stepped in. I WAS HUNGRY. 

So. 

I carved the beast. 

!!!!!I MADE MY 1st APPLE PIE!!!!!

Thanks mom for the recipe and the confidence that yes, I could maybe not burn the house down.

Grandpa Vesta you would have been proud of my apple pie!! 

They like it, they really did. Unless they were just being nice or they had so much wine anything was tasting good. 

  Our housemate, Danielle was on decorations. Danielle is from Australia and has only celebrated Thanksgiving one other time. She ordered them online and they arrived a few hours before dinner was served...they were American flavored. It was pretty much 4th of July meets Indians and Pilgrims.

Thanksgiving...check check

The day after I woke up feeling the worst I have felt in a long time so Friday was cleanup, cookie eating, movie watching, rainy day.  I worked a short little after school shift then headed home right back to bed. The red wine always tastes so good the night before but the pounding head the next day has scared me away from wine for at least 72 hours. 

Saturday morning it was rainy again. The 5th day in a row with rain. I had had enough! I wanted beach time.  I was slowing becoming addicted to Fruit Ninja on Brads Ipad and getting cabin fever. Just as I started my 15th game of Fruit Ninja the clouds parted the sun came out to play!

Rob, Ryan, and Brad joined me sea side. I started with a few laps in the sand and needed a cool down. We went for a quick dip and no more then 5 minutes after we got out of the water the alarms sounded. These are not tornado alarms friends and family. These are shark alarms.  The life guards were blowing their whistles and getting everyone's attention to GET OUT OF THE WATER. It was just like a scene from jaws. Boats and a helicopter were zooming and flying around. We did not actually see the shark but we are pretty sure they spotted him, tracked him and scared him back into the deep blue sea. In 2 years Brad has only heard the shark alarm one other time!  Oh and some goofballs, I am sorry, really bad ass surfers stayed in the water with their little legs dangling off the side of the boards! FOOLS!!!!

Alright. That is all for now! Not a cloud in the sky I think it is time to put my swimsuit on and head down to the beach.  Maybe just put my toes in today in case our little friend finds his way back to Bondi. Then it is time to be one of the guys and help them choose a lucky lady to be Miss Bondi while reminding them to keep their mouths closed and they will never get her number with drool trickling down their chins.

HAPPY SUNDAY FUNDAY
