Okay, this video can't really cure the sick...but it sure is darn cute.  I mean seriously, the word cute gets overused these days(usually when speaking about babies, kittens, or my new shirt) but this video leads the way in cuteness.  If there were awards for cute this would get nominated along with the dog from "Up" and Justin Beiber.  The kitten would win.  Enjoy!

While you're eating your meal tomorrow, keep this handy chart in mind.  Maybe I'll just have seconds, and not thirds.

Thanksgiving Meal Calories:

8 oz white & dark turkey (2 servings) equals 480 calories
1 cup mashed potatoes with butter is 300 calories
1 cup stuffing (2 servings) is 600 calories
3 to 4 ladles gravy is 800 calories
1/2 cup sautéed green beans is 50 calories
3/4 cups candied sweet potatoes is 300 calories
1/2 cup cranberry sauce is 200 calories
1 roll with butter is 180 calories
1 glass cider or wine is 150 calories
1 piece pumpkin pie with whipped cream is 540 calories
1 cup coffee with cream & sugar is 150 calories

Yep that is 3750!

We loved "Up."  Great story.  The dogs are awesome.  So is the kid.  These two guys who picked Mr. Fredricksen up for Shady Oaks Retirement Community are funny too.  We just didn't get much of them.  Enjoy this animated short about what happened after the house took off.

This ad has been banned from TV this year.  It made me decide not to eat turkey this year.  Instead we're gonna deep fry a spotted owl, dip it in puppy blood, and serve it with seal fingers.  We'll drink goat milk 'straight from the tap' and rather than pumpkin pie....I'm thinking we'll just kick kittens.

This is scary.  We used one of these for Hudson.  Wow.  Wow.  Check yours now.

With Wedding season slowing down, I find myself home more on Saturday nights than I used to be.  I kinda like it.  The kids and I went to Seasame Street Live, then made dinner and rented "Up."  We saw it in the Theatre when it came out(our first 3-D one), but it was more fun with a couple blankets on the couch munching on warm popcorn.  Of course, after I put them to bed....I pretty much had nothing to do.  So after checking Facebook 423 times....Saturday Night Live happened to come on TV.  And it happened to be pretty funny.  I hadn't seen an episode for quite awhile and was impressed.  This made me laugh a bunch.  'Ozzy' is great!

This is not meant to make anyone angry.  I'm not making any political statement.  I'm just using this video to show how uninformed Americans are.  You could get the exact same thing from a line of O'Bama Supporters.  You could get it at your work in the break room about any important issue, or any week night Leno does "Jay-Walking."  People tend have strong opinions about things they don't always know a lot about.  Does that make sense?  Watch the video and see.

Early this morning a Miley Cyrus Tour bus crashed killing the driver.  Miley was not on board, however 15 other people were.  Complete story here.

Do you think she'll cry like this every week?  I don't think I can take it.  It's hard enough watching "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" every Sunday, but if she's gonna cry every show for the next year I'm not gonna be able to handle it.  She says her final season will 'knock your socks off.'  Fine.  But who's gonna tell us where to get hot new fashionable socks now?  Huh?  You can't just leave us hanging.  I don't want to have to think for myself.  I'm not good at that.  When you let me think for myself, I come up with stuff like, "Hey I know it's November 20th but I think I can leave these pumpkins out another week or two at least.  I mean I HAVE candy still."

This is me doing my sleep study at Bellin Wednesday night.  It's great, they put you in a hospital room...Hook you up to about 40 different wires, glue stuff on your head, put things in your nose...then tell you to sleep like normal.  Right.  Like that's possible.  Turned out great though.  I'm gonna be much healthier once I get the machine to keep me breathing correctly.
