So what am I thinking about today.....the coming holidays.  We are exactly 21 days away from Turkey Day.  We are going into new territory this year with our meal.  We usually at this time all vote on one new vegetable and one new dessert to try with our regular menu.  I recently purchased a Thanksgiving 101 cookbook for KK to add to her Hope Chest and thought she should take a look at it for her voting.  She studied the evening she received it before bed, the next morning she asked if she could cook (with myself as the Head Chef of course) the Thanksgiving Day meal.  Our normal tradition is to wake up and have Paula Deen's Quiche for breakfast while watching the parade on t.v.  Then I get he Turkey in the oven and let it cook for a few hours before I have to start everything else.  For lunch this year we are having veggies, olives, meat, cheese, crackers, and dip.  Then while the meal finishes in the oven we watch a movie together or play a game.  We usually decorate our trees on this day but this year we are starting a new advent calendar so we aren't doing that till December 3rd.  So we will hang our house lights and decorate our yard while the kids' are out of school. (BTW it is 49 days until Christmas)

Got up this morning after tossing and turning a lot last night.  Had oatmeal, a piece of toast, and a cup of coffee.  Cleaned the house, laundry got done, floors got swept and mopped, bathroom got cleaned, and we just had tuna sandwiches and chips for lunch.  Now we just have to get KK finished up with her school work for the day since she took a break for lunch.  After that I think I will run take a shower and then read for a bit if I can.  This evening I have a meeting to go to and then hopefully get a better nights sleep than last night.
