What a Holiday

Posted on | November 28, 2008 | 6 Comments |

How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was really nice and hubby said he ate the best turkey ever. I have to admit, it was really good, even the white meat had a lot of flavor and the turkey was not at all dry. I used Emeril’s Cranberry glazed recipe with some improvisation. I used fresh ingredients instead of the dried ones and I also didn’t use orange-flavored liqueur – just didn’t have any or I would. Unless something else looks better (I have not used one recipe twice) I’ll try this again next year! Hubby also made the yummiest pie using another Food Network recipe. Because of his pie, I didn’t need to get me anything at the Cheesecake Factory!!

Today’s shopping was a success. My only mistake was going to Joann’s before noon. The line was loooooooooong and I only had 12 felt, 4 embroidery thread, and fabric glue. I should have left, not sure why I didn’t, since I had to stop at HB anyhow (which was so quiet in comparison). The rest… well, I can see tomorrow’s headline: Sales Down by x%. I went to the Pottery Barn Kids and it didn’t have anymore people than a regular weekend. Parking was a breeze too and I didn’t almost kill anybody (the Plaza is an outdoor mall). Usually that place is insane during the holidays. Lunch was great too at the Blue Koi… dumpling noodle soup and oolong tea, yum!!

The amazing part… I am done shopping! Between today’s outing and the Internet, we got everything. For once, we’re early. I do have a few items that I’m making that I need to get started on but they’re extra. Without them we’ll be ok. Our Christmas stuff is almost up too. I’m pooped. Will finish tomorrow.

Alright, have a great one. The above is just hubby and I in 2003. I was about three months pregnant with M, that’s why his hand was on my stomach. The photographer wasn’t too into that hand being there. Oh well. The items were from Scarlet Lime. It’s my November kit.

What do photographers know, because his hand being on your stomach totally MAKES that photo great! I love the layout!! CUTE! I’m glad you had a great Thanksgiving (we did too), and I’m totally jealous that you’re done with shopping. Not even close for me, but that’s OK. I get quite a few gift cards for family. Everyone seems to enjoy that, especially with the nieces and nephews getting older!
