I just finished an entry on my pregnancy blog about my appointment yesterday. After the appointment, Jim and I had a dinner date, which was a nice change of pace. :) We went out to one of our favorite local places, which is a little on the pricey side, but we had a coupon which saved us half on one of our meals. We started off with the complimentary crackers and garlic cream cheese spread, then moved on to salads and bread. Then came the main course. Jim had a filet steak with gorgonzola sauce, on top of a potato pancake, with a side of squash. I had the "Mixed Grille," which was less money than Jim's meal, but more food! It was a sampler which included a piece of filet steak, chicken breast with rhubarb chutney, and a crab cake with red pepper mayo, plus sides of garlic mashed potatoes and squash. Yum yum!! I could only finish half of my meal and had the rest for lunch today. :) Getting our money's worth! Seriously, we don't usually spend a lot of money on eating out, especially not at an upscale type of place, but for once in a while, it is a real treat. We both came away very refreshed (not to mention full!).
Sam has had a bad cold for several days, and we finally got him some cough/decongestant medicine last night, which definitely helped him sleep better. He's been rather cranky today, but fortunately Jim has been home due to rain (plus the fact that he has a sore throat, too), so he's been able to help out a lot with Sam. And Sam's been napping quite a lot today, as well, which I'm sure will help him get better faster. I was able to go out and run a few errands, not the most pleasant job in the pouring rain which couldn't decide whether or not to turn to snow, but at least I got them done. :)
Well, now I've got to figure out what we're having for supper, and hopefully make a start on Thanksgiving preparations, such as making the pumpkin pies tonight. Hope everyone is having a great week so far, and also a wonderful Thanksgiving, in case I don't get to write again before then.

Yay! I'm glad you got to go on your date:o) Sounds like it was wonderful!
Hope you guys have a happy Thanksgiving! Are you making the whole meal yourself...or are you joining family or friends for the holiday? We'll be having Thanksgiving with my family this year, but I'm still in charge of making about four different dishes. I'm not sure when this is going to get done, as we'll be gone tomorrow night. Oh well, it will!
This year we decided to have our own Thanksgiving, since it's our first in our new house. But we will go over to my parents' house for dessert, and to spend time with various members of my dad's family who will be there, later. I'm not sure when I'm going to get everything done, either. I had planned to make 2 pies today, but it didn't happen, as I was just too tired and had a headache this evening. I'm hoping Jim may be around again tomorrow so I can have a little time free from Sam, to do some cooking. :) There's no way I want to be doing it all on Thursday! Sam has been extra clingy and whiny with his cold, so it's been hard to get much done in the kitchen because of that, as well.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend. :)
