Thanksgiving was lovely. I actually made everything and scheduled it out so that it would be ready in a timely fashion, and it worked. For the first time EVER. And, more importantly, everything was incredibly delicious. Or at least my husband was kind enough to say so.
The duck was fabulous, but we didn’t eat much of it and now the smell lingers in the fridge and makes me puke every time I open it. Oh sigh. The stuffing was INCREDIBLE I am a genius. The pie was perfect. Can you believe I made this all from scratch? Me neither.
The potatoes I had issues with. Nate loves them, but I think they had a leetle too much herbage going on. Next time we will make plain potatoes, and they will be just as delicious.
Anyway. We dragged out all our Christmas stuff. We have a lot of Christmas stuff for newlyweds. We inherited a ton from my mom last year (including a Satanic tree that is a PAIN to put together) and also got a huge tub of decorations for a wedding present. Unfortunately, I have been too sick/tired/annoyed to deal with decorating, so everything is sitting around in a big pile and our tree looks sad because the cats have discovered their new climbing toy and are slowly killing it.
UNTIL TODAY! Today we went out and bought shatterproof ornaments because of the angelic kittens, and we set up our kitchen with decorations and everything. Now all that is left is the outside lights, and the second tiny Christmas tree to be set up in the nursery. Excellent. We will see if these tasks are accomplished before I go back to Utah in 11 days.
Meanwhile, I have no point to make, so pick your favorite point and go with it.
Ack, I’m making Christmas dinner and I have a list of things to make, but I hadn’t even thought about having everything finish about the same time. Dang. More lists to make. (I like lists.)
