We also were able to play some Wii, and I was able to run a couple of miles on their treadmill after dinner- haha. I so needed it.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving and being able to spend time with family! As usual, I brought my camera but didn't take pictures. I am awesome.
Friday morning, after a good workout with the chubby dog, Gary, I, and my dad all met up with Devonn, Carla and the boys to an area off of Taft Hwy to go shooting. We were able to try out our new Kimber while we were there- a bit heavy, but it was nice and comfortable. I think I hit maybe 2 targets- meaning I should probably practice more often. There's no membership gun clubs around here, which is kind of a bummer. We had a membership to one while living in Bakersfield, but not here. There are some beautiful shooting ranges, but we have to pay per day to shoot. Eh, I guess it's not all that bad. We'll just have to look into it. We did have a lot of fun, though! Reminds me of old times- shooting cans and such while I was a kid with the family (I was only able to shoot a .22 until I was older, but it was still fun).
Anyway, we headed out Friday afternoon to avoid rainy and cloudy weather on the 5, and spent the rest of the day doing some shopping and relaxing.
Saturday was totally lazy. We did some shopping, but spent most of the day inside, playing video games and, well, being lazy. We also went out to eat at New Moon, a lovely Chinese restaurant (and has nothing to do with Twilight). The food was amazingly delicious and we had to take it home to eat the rest later on. I then made the mistake, for dinner, of eating leftover food from a meal I cooked only a few days ago. It was chopped up steak and potatoes with some beans. It was only a small portion, so I ate the rest of it for dinner since neither of us felt like cooking- Gary had cereal or something. It backfired on me later.
4am yesterday morning, I awoke out of a dream feeling extremely nauseous. I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep, but it didn't work. I ended up running to the bathroom instead. Every half hour to an hour, I was forced to visit the toilet. This went on for over 5 hours. I didn't have a fever, just some chills. The only thing I could think of was that leftover food I ate- and I was for sure poisoned by it. Lovely, huh? It was terrible- I HATE throwing up; the thought of it makes me sick. But, I had to let my body do what it wanted to do. Gary woke up around 9:30 to get ready for church, but instead had to run to the store to buy me everything he could think of to help. Dark soda, soups, crackers, breads, etc. Such a good man for taking care of me. I spent most of yesterday wrapped up in blankets and sleeping- and tried to bring some Skyrim into it. Hey, it distracted me from the nauseating feeling. At one point during a nap, I woke up to find Dexter curled up in my arms. He was extremely affectionate yesterday. Maybe he knew I was sick?
Anyway, I'm glad that's over. I'm still a little achy and sore today, but thank goodness the nausea is gone. I hope that doesn't happen again for a long time- if ever!
Well, time for me to do things today. I'm avoiding video games since I spent a good chunk of the weekend playing. I'm ready to get out and exercise and visit the lake. Wrapped up sick inside all day is making me stir crazy. So, I'm completely ready to hit the sunshine and catch some fresh air.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Sounds like a great and relaxing weekend -- minus the food poisoning thing! ICK. That is almost worse than the regular stomach flu with the stomach cramping and ickiness all around. Glad you're feeling better now though!
Love the family picture!!! You look great!
aww what a way to end the weekend, sorry you were so sick, I hate that more than anything. I'm glad you came down and THANK YOU so much for the early Christmas present. I looked pretty ridiculous doing Just Dance LOL
