Happy Turkey Day, ya’ll!

Sleep? What is this thing you call sleep? The dripping of the water to thaw the turkey that was still frozen kept me up, even after I gave up the cleaning for the night.. heh.

But – it’s 10:30am and the bird just went in the oven. I followed the directions on the package, and used the basting stuff that Auntie sent over. Everyone cross your fingers!

Back to the Meal.

• Turkey – in the oven!
• Stuffing (Mom’s putting it together, we’re baking it)
• Mashed Potatoes (Mom’s making it)
• Noodles (Mom again)
• Greenbean cassarole – put together round 3pm
• Sweet Potatoes – put together round 3pm
• Cranberry Sauce – put together round 3pm
• Croissants 3:30ish
• Cheesecake – take outa freezer any time
• Misc. Cookies – whenever the oven is free
• Pie! Auntie made PIE!

Hee. Wanna come over? Common – be BRAVE!

Wonder if the store is open – I’ve a hankering for some flowers… and now I need whipped topping for pie..

Anyway – tell someone ya love em, hm?

Update: 1:45 pm

Turkey is bout halfway there, maybe close to 3/4s or so. And Ace things the table cloth is JUST FOR HIM. Where’s my squirt bottle…

Update: 3:30pm

Aaaaaaand voila. The Girl’s First Turkey.

And? She made the cranberry sauce too. (I helped) And the green bean casserole (I helped) and the sweet potatoes (…sensing a theme? I helped.)

Stuffing and casseroles and such are in the oven now – chowtime in T-45 minutes…
