I spent my day fishing and avoided a bad triptophan OD:

I just realized I have an animal feed coupon I don't think I can use *sad face*

It is a 10$ off coupon on two bags of Blue Seal feeds. But I did a dealer search, there is no seller of the feed for over 100 miles. I will check my local TSC, since apparently some TSCs stock the food, but mine isn't showing up on the list.

mine says it does, but I never see it there.

LOL, My DH mentioned triptophan at dinner and my nephew asked "who's taking a trip to Japan?"

Happy thanksgiving!

We had a good day and a good meal!

My son has had a cough for a while and some days are better than others. More good days then bad and he is on antibiotics...
Well, today he skipped dinner for a nap and refused to eat anything but a few bites of turkey, a popcicle, and half a bowl of M&Ms...
He got home and threw it all up.
I am not sure if it is fro the snot running down his throat or the tummy full of junk... or maybe both.
He is sleeping now, but I made up the other little bed in his room just in case I have to sleep in there tonight.
Yes, I will sleep in a toddler bed if I have to.

I know I hate throwing up... and how sore my back is afterward
Poor little man.

(Bad mama... for letting him eat too many sweeties)

Good morning. One more morning to be thankful for still being on the hill. Yesterday's dinner went well and Hope was very happy with the new stove. The butter dips baked 7 minutes quicker using the convection oven feature and she was certain they came out better.

I think other the checking the birds I will spend the day reading and relaxing.

The Mythbusters proved that tryptophan IS NOT the cause of post Thanksgiving dinner stupors. Not that the Mythbusters are the last word on anything but... apparently it's the amount of fat and carbohydrate loaded food that you eat. There's more tryptophan in eggs and cod than turkey and that's a fact. Just sayin'.

 

[NovaAman]

I think its more like, people want to blame the turkey instead of the fact that they just ate a super big meal, and now all the oxygen is now being directed to the belly for digestion instead of the brain...

Boy, am I glad it is over! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving day. BYFM... poor baby... LOL sweets will get ya everytime. Sugar overload is just as bad as beer overload on the tummy.

Hope everyone had a great day.

This year we are really broke so I am making gifts, and having fun doing it. I decided I'm decorating early and going to decorate everything, I started with the porch yesterday since the weather was so nice. It doesn't cost anything to decorate since I'm making decorations as well and digging everything out of strorage. So part of it is I am making my own cards. Yesterday I took pictures for the front of our Christmas cards. I have narrowed it down to two pictures and need so opinions on which is better, so let me know what you think.

I was surprised DH was ok with chickens on the cards but he said he had given up fighting it. So I get my Christmas Chickens.
