And the Countdown Begins
Woman in the Middle | November 22, 2016I consider Thanksgiving to be the Super Bowl of cooking. Face it, the holiday is all about the meal. So that meal better be decent. After trying to kill myself in years past, I have made shortcuts, but it is still a challenge to get turkey and sides cooked and on the table, hot and delicious, all at once.
I am happy to report, after the shock of last weekend when I found out that Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK, I have recovered and am moving forward. The only things I appear to be missing at this point are whipped cream and ice. I will be making a run for the border in a bit to pick up those two items before they disappear from the shelves, or ice cooler, depending on the item.
Meanwhile, I also realized I better get to picking out the Christmas cards. I just order the photos ones. My wrist gets sore if I have to sign all of those cards so, by ordering the photos cards, signing doesn’t have to happen. What can I say, I am all about taking short cuts where I can. I would rather send a card without the personal signature, than send no card at all.
Of course, that means we have to have taken a decent photo of ourselves sometime in the past eleven months. Oh, ha ha! You would think a vacation in a tropical paradise would have yielded one decent photo of the family, Well, it didn’t. Between tropical breezes, tropical humidity, and sleeveless tops or dresses showing off my pale, flabby upper arms, that did not happen. However, a photo celebrating Eldest daughter’s graduation from college did pass muster and so cards can still be ordered.
A much more attractive photo from Hawaii then my upper arms could ever be!
