The 7 weird things about me post

About a month or so ago someone from my homeschool list "tagged" me and I never had time to post my "7 things".  Guess I will attempt this now:
1.  Met my husband at a bar where his band was playing in 1984; friends for the next 10 years; dated for a few years, then got married in 1998.
2.  I *have* to wear socks to bed in the fall and winter months or I can't relax enough to sleep.
3.  I dream of being a fabric designer.
4.  I had such severe post partum depression after having my twins that I was close to suicidal.  Didn't help that my son was only 17 months old when the twins were born.  And I have a teenager with autism.
I'll never get off Lexapro.
5.   I am very right brained and visualize things a lot, especially in the morning when I first wake up
6.  Reading the book "Three Cups of Tea" has really changed my life and made me appreciate the abundance of my life.
7.  As a child I never pretended or thought about getting married like other girls because I knew I was so different; thank you public school.

Thanksgiving

Last night we had dinner at my sister Vicki's house.  Here is a photo of my nephew Alex and my sister's MIL Pauline.

This is a partial view of the food.  I made Martha Stewart's famous Green Bean Casserole.  It takes about 2 hours to make, not including heating time.  Don't try this unless you really like chopping vegetables to relax.
