Nip in the air
Halloween is over. The stores have vacated all the Halloween candy, leftover costumes and glittery makeup to the clearance bins. Bring on the motorized Santas, plastic ornaments and Martha Stewart ("you're crap cause you buy egg nog at the store instead of make it from scratch") holiday specials!
This year is the first year in 5 years that I will not be making Thanksgiving dinner. Two years ago I made about 70% of Thanksgiving dinner while 8 1/2 months pregnant. Contractions every 7 minutes. I think that's the definition of insanity or nesting... whatever.
So, did I mention that I'm not going to be making Thanksgiving dinner this year? Yeah, it's by choice. I can make a killer turkey that you'll continue to eat for the next month but I'm not gonna do it. Not this year. I'm hanging up my.... whaddya call it?....um... APRON! That's the word I was looking for.
Sushi anyone? (probably get it to go since Sebastian has the attention span of a housefly and can't sit still for more than three nano-seconds).
So, what are y'all doing for Turkey day (and please don't say "prepping for Black Friday shopping")?
Damn. If I didn't have to go to the 'rents (have to hang the Christmas lights you know) I'd be down with that. I'm not still 100% on the sushi, but I'm getting better.
But I will be prepping for Black Friday, but from the other side of the counter.

Thanksgiving will be spent at my mother's house, that is, as she said just last night, if she doesn't take off to NYC and abandon us as she did last year. I hate turkey anyway.

I think that we are going to hit the road for turkey day. And suggestions on places we should go (within driving distance, of course)?

Thankfully I'm Canadian and all that ca-ca is done with. Course, there's more than enough Christmas garb to irritate me.
I love your blog by the way!
