No no no.. I don't WANNA know how many days til Christmas.
Sweet, glad to hear your dinner turned out fine. Always tougher when YOU are the hostess.. you want everyne to be happy and things to go well. Heck, I always shoot for Norman Rockwell and somehow end up with the Roseanne show
My dinner was fine.. a few catastrophes, but that is just more teasing fodder
My friend Diane had baked a pumpkin pie and had it on the counter cooling. She had this sitting on a lacey table runner with a hot pad on top. Well, her kittycat decides he is going to go surfing.. runs and jumps on the counter, snags the lace table runner as he is sliding across and drops EVERYTHING on the floor. Yes, that means the pie too! When I came over, the turkey was already out and setting on the counter resting. When they went to cut into it, it wasn't cooked. The goober girl didn't have a meat thermometer, didn't know about turning the leg or any tricks, so she just took it out when the label on the bird said so. Back it went into the oven for another 45 minutes.. no sick people wanted. We had dinner a little late, but it was just fine. My roasted vegetable dish went over very well.. the 2 males ate bread turkey and taters.. and thats it. The women ate the veggies.. and they all liked it. I had a nice time meeting her parents, brother and her new beau came over for dessert. I did a little Christmas shopping yesterday.. NOT FRIDAY!!! Got a few gifts, got new slippers for me and had an iced mocha lunch. This has been a nice little vacation
My new aerobics tapes showed up yesterday and boy am I glad, I was getting into a serious rut and even missed days this week because I was soo bored. These new tapes should do the trick. I'll let you know how I like them ( 2 Kathy Smith tapes) after I try em both.
How was everyone else's Thanksgiving? Hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends.
