I need to get moving, today will be a busy day. This morning I am meeting a group of people I worked with at my former job for breakfast. This afternoon I have a bridal shower for nephews fiance. She is a nice girl but I don't think they are a good fit and neither one of them has lived out on their own. Nephew did go off to college for a couple 3 years but they were very conservative Christian colleges and he lived in the dorm. So conservative that men and women used different staircases and if you went on a date you were required to have a chaperone. They both have a lot of growing up to do. My Mom was invited to the shower for her side of the family and gave her a whole bunch of kitchen utensils including measuring cups and measuring spoons. She had no clue what you were supposed to do with those things. Her Grandma finally told her they were for baking. She got that. One thing neither one of them ever being out on their own they have nothing so whatever you give them you don't have to worry about it being a duplicate. My Grandma who could be rather crude blunt at times used to talk about when she and Grandpa were first married and would say "We didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of" and that is exactly where nephew and fiance are starting. For my present today I got them an assortment of spices and things like vanilla, baking soda etc. Some things to help stock their kitchen. Now I need to get that wrapped and ready to go.

Hello my fine Saturday peeps! Nice day here and I may have to get the back yard mowed today (rain likely tomorrow with a front coming through) and I will put up the holiday decorations outside as well. I need to fix lunch shortly, as I have to run out for a haircut at 1 (only appointment the stylist had open today). I donated a ton of nonperishable food, mostly BOGOs and sale items bought for hurricane season this year, to a friend's church food pantry. At least I know it stays local.
Dinner tonight is burgers and fries.

Good Morning Kids! Cool & sunny here, which is good considering we got some rain last night. You can get stiff & sore here too, Bluerobin. With the warmer temps, it just isn't quite as bad.

We got a minimal amount of rain as the front came through but it's nice out now. Had to go out for a minor bike repair (bent the stem on my rear wheel, and while I was at the shop, bought a bottle cage). They did not charge for the repair, so it seemed like the least I could do was make the purchase. Home and doing a last load of laundry. I will decorate the outside tree later. Dinner is shrimp for DH, scallops for me and red pepper risotto for both of us.

We are expecting a little sNOw this evening and into tomorrow. I am hoping to work from home tomorrow. The southern part of the state and the mountains are expected to get slammed with snow. Since we are on the outer edge of the storm if it shifts just a little bit North we could get hit.

Good Morning Kids! I got my Thanksgiving grocery shopping done yesterday for my large items, like my ham. Either today or tomorrow I need to go back out & buy some of the little stuff. I've been checking my recipes, and I'm missing a few key things.

Today is usually a very busy day because there are all those people who think they're going to avoid tomorrow's thundering herds. Tomorrow is a busy day because there are all those thundering herds who waited.

After going out for lunch with a friend, I did go to Target, and a grocery store, to get everything on my list. I feel sorry for their employees right now. Crazy-busy, but at least I got everything I need.

Yay, today is a work from home day. I need to respite from toxic co-worker and the quiet to be able to get some things done. Saving two hours in commuting time to put towards getting ready for Thanksgiving helps also.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Time for me to get moving since people are coming to my place to eat. Trying to decide how much of a fit Mom will have if I don't use a tablecloth today. All I really want to do is go back to bed.

Good Morning Kids! Happy Thanksgiving! Ham is on the menu here. We'll have a few side dishes, but with only 3 of us, we probably won't make as much food as we usually do. But, we'll still have enough for several meals. What's on the menu at your house?

I have been sampling the stuffing I made yesterday. In some ways I would rather eat the raw/cold stuffing more than what is cooked. Besides all the ingredients are cooked and they are just mixed together cold and it tastes so yummy. We are doing turkey for Thanksgiving but I have decreed that it will be ham for Christmas this year instead of turkey again. There will be six of us but two of them are the grandkids.

Tell mom to take the tablecloth and stuff it. Your house, your rules and frankly, you're the one doing the laundry. So there. I just cooked the turkey breast and I am letting it cool before slicing; I have a chicken carcass in the freezer, so these two combined will become soup on Sunday (we should be getting cold weather next week). The stuffing, cranberry compote, apple pie filling and the pie shell are done. I just need to bake the apple pie and the sweet potato (to be topped with butter and brown sugar), make the gravy and steam the green beans.

"we should be getting cold weather next week"
Define cold.
