Melancholia

So, I've thought about this Thanksgiving and I realize how grateful I am to have family.  I really think this is the one time you have to put aside your resentment or whatever might be your hang up and sit down with family and enjoy the moment.  Yesterday I actually missed my Michigan family or should I say the Pedit's.  It seemed a little sad that they are going separate ways now that Mom Pedit isn't around.  I guess you don't have say or do much other than be together for this one day.  

I realized today that it was a blessing to be with the Nichols family because they have been a large part of my life since my childhood.  Who knew that I would feel this way.  Chelsea and Sione came by late in the evening to hide a large gift they bought for Lilly.  Something about being called "Uncle Mike" seems to melt my heart.  Of course I've ben drinking since 5:00, since this is my Friday with out my date.  Not sure how I will feel later, but I certainly wouldn't mind having a big Thanksgiving when my Sugar is here.  Anyway I am a little lonely and miss my loved ones. It was so nice to here Sugar and Sean yesterday.  Just a little teary and lonely tonight.

Today's work in progress

Go Pro

So if you are viewing this, it would have been video of me SUP ing in the surf by the Blue Hole.  As usual, I started out shaky and then got a little more confidence.  I had my leach on so hopefuuly I wouldn't loose the board.  Any, after I wiped out and got back on for another go guess what was missing.  Go Pro!  If it is ever found I'm sure there is some great underwater footage.  Another one bites the dust.

Another Raimen Noodle Dish

Latest Raimen noodle dish.  Raimen Noodles with celery, carrots and onions.  Topped with yakibuto pork over bed of spinach.  I don't know what the hell has gotten over me.  Going Native.

Special Sunday Dinner

Sunday Dinner:  Caesar Salad (homemade Caesar dressing), marinated Steak with Garlic Mashed Potates, wilted Spinach topped with Green Beans.  I need to feel special on this Sunday.  Only problem is I have to clean up the mess I made.  Can't seem to cook without stuff all over the place.  I miss my Sugar badly!
