Turkey Breast Stroke

My dad pointed out to me last night that any of my blog followers have seen the posting "I feel like crap" all week long...and he knows that that isn't true any more. I feel great. The best part of this week...I went swimming on Friday!!!! It was awesome. As soon as I dipped into the water and pushed off the wall it all came back to me. I felt like I never missed a beat, it just felt so natural. I swam for 45 minutes and finished with a nice long hot tub. I'm going again tomorrow.
Last night I had my aunt and cousin from out of town come over along with the rest of my family. My family hadn't had a turkey dinner for thanksgiving together so we had one last night instead. It was my first time cooking the meal myself...and I still can't take full credit. My mom came over in the morning and showed me how to take the giblets and stuff out of the turkey and how to stuff it. Then when she came back in the evening she did the gravy. It all worked out great; turkey, mashed potatoes, yams, maple walnut brussel sprouts, carrots, corn, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. We stuffed the turkey in the morning and stuffed the guests in the evening =) We even fit 8 people around my little 4 person table. It was really nice to have a good dinner with family.
