You guys don't have anything similar to Thanksgiving? If not, you have my permission to celebrate anyway

 

[gaylean93]

Sukie is finally finished cleaning. I am free to move about the house again.

This is a record, everything is done at 10:00 am on Thanksgiving I need tips on how to be so organized.

 

[gaylean93]

I'm off to make some dips.

 

[nskjerven]

I don't drink bourbon either. I'm not sure if you could use another liquor or not, I never have.

The bourbon that I have is only used for one thing, just once a year, the sweet potatoes. I use some cheap bourbon (can't remember the name) but I think it works just fine in a syrup.

ok, going to the store to get bourbon sir

Oh, and one more thing.

The following is for all of you who insist on eating green bean casserole today, some "art" to go along with your "cuisine":

My dog is the one on the left, but a little more red.

Marilyn can you stick our faces in that picture???? That would be funny

I think because they're smilies, they live in a smiley world, so turkeys are yellow too like they are. Yeah, um, that's it.

Uh huh, I see the canibal is out of your signature, you thought the same thing I did once you looked

Zoe rest and feel better. Kelly that's God's way of saying today is a down day for you guys You still sound soooooo busy. I hope you can relax.

Ian wish we were there

Off to make our contribution:

Yellow Pepper Soup
Bourbon Yams
(choc cupcakes are allready made from last night thanks to Molly)

and of course since we are all home this morning we get to eat breakfast together, I'm thinking French Toast sounds good for today

 

[gaylean93]

I don't really need a shower, do I?

 

[tink1963]

That one's great but I think he would make a better Woody

Think thats funny do ya?????????

I don't really need a shower, do I?

If you need to ask

 

[gaylean93]

Think thats funny do ya?????????



If you need to ask

I'm grabbing a small bite and then off to the shower, I hope.

 

[HollyTyler]

Uh huh, I see the canibal is out of your signature, you thought the same thing I did once you looked

Nope, not the reason. I love my smiley guys! But I stumbled across Snoopy on the freebie thread I like, and I just love Snoopy even more than my smilies, so there he is.

But I think my smiley yellow world theory holds because the bones on the chicken (you could see the end sticking out of the legs) were yellow too!

Deborah, sorry you aren't feeling too good. I hope a day off will help. Don't rush back and make things worse.

Nan, sorry can't put faces on the dogs. The ones I have done are on a website.

OK, I'm showered and packed and ready to head out the door out of town. Wish me luck getting through my dad's. Most of that family only know bits and pieces about the stuff going on with Tyler, only what my dad and stepmom share with them, so I'm sure I'll be answering lots of questions. Then I get to go relax with my mom, so that will be nice! I should be able to pop on here from her house.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it and have a wonderful day/evening everybody who does not celebrate turkey day. Safe travels to everybody traveling today, and good luck to those dealing with crazy families, and good luck to all who are cooking.

And from those of us who DON'T cook, to those of you who DO, thank you for what you do!

 

[gaylean93]

I told you he would make a better Woody. Too bad I make a better Buzz too

 

[granmaz]

I told you he would make a better Woody. Too bad I make a better Buzz too

I could make you angelina Jolie or Pamela Anderson?

 

[granmaz]

Here are some friends.

 

[granmaz]

I did think about Miss Piggy for me.

Ok, for those who would like to send a Christmas card, we will be staying at the Saratoga Springs Resort from Dec 1st to 11th. That would be a cheaper option and stop me being hassled , and how exciting to receive cards on vacation!!! They leave little messages on your phone when you have a delivery!!

Marilyn & John Mitchell
Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa
1960 Broadway
Lake Buena vista
Fl 32830

After that we are at the Beach Club.

We leave home tomorrow and fly on Saturday and see Monica on Sunday.

So that's where you live... Your accent threw me off...

Hi Marilyn

I am sending the xmas card to you at your home in Yorkshire....

so you are leaving tomorrow, oh great, I wish you have a lovely holiday.

will hear from you when you come back.

Take care

YOU HAVE HER ADDRESS???? What kind of bribe did you have to hand over to get it???

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!(and Nan)​

​

Here's a useless piece of trivia - the Hebrew for turkey (transliterated) is Tarnigole Hoedoo, or literally translated, Hindu Chicken.
​

I got out of bed today at 7:15 AM! Nearly the middle of the afternoon.

I have a very relaxing morning ahead. I probably have nothing to do until about noon today.

Dinner isn't until about 6:30 this evening, so the turkey doesn't need to go into oven until about 2:00 PM or 2:15 PM. It roasts stuffed, so it takes a bit longer. I also roast it with a temperature probe.

The only other thing that needs to be made are the brussel sprouts.

What I don't really like doing is trussing up the turkey. I'm not very good at that. Last year I ran out of twine and had to truss up the turkey with dental floss.

I like it this way as it turns out to be a very relaxing day.
​

Turkey's have teeth???

Oh, one more thing. Sukie is cleaning. He's in his 'Mommy Dearest" mode.

I have to hide.

RUN!!!! Oh and take the hangers with you... .

and if it makes you feel any better... Joan's twin is downstairs cleaning strange places again... holidays... gotta love um...

Have a good trip Holly... Love to Tyler...

and remember... next year we should be all at Ian's house for dinner....

 

[Tink rules]

Oh, and one more thing.

The following is for all of you who insist on eating green bean casserole today, some "art" to go along with your "cuisine":

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Culture for my thanksgiving dinner.. must print this one out...

I have to get in the basement and hide. He just tried to throw my wallet in the trash.

He's just recycling...

HIDE THE DOGS!

I say Everyone for themselves in this situation.. you notice I'm avoiding mom this afternoon???

I have made it to the safety of the basement. I can hear him upstairs. He's crazed. The dogs have fled to the safety of their crate. They're not locked in there. They have decided to hide too and stay out of the way.

I think Tallulah at this point is just to afraid to poop.

I sure (or at least hoping) he'll wear himself out soon.

Luckily the only task I was assigned was folding wash. Fortunately, I'm considered too incompetent and slip-shot to be allowed to do any cleaning.

If I can't find the dogs later, I'll have to check the vacuum.

So when do the meds kick in? YOURS... Now... THAT's what the leftover burbon is for...

But we like hassling you Marilyn!

Thank you!

Ummmm yes... we do...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I've missed all of you, I've been prepping for back to back presentations. We had 2 conferences this week, one good and one terrible (not us the running of the conference!) We are supposed to go to the Grand Ballroom at DL today for dinner, but Zoe came home with a 101 fever after the Kindergarten feast (on Tue.) They actually called me in the last 15 min. of our presentation at the Anaheim Convention center and said to come get her. It was a very poorly run conference and all we wanted to do was go to CA ADV. across the street. Then she ran a fever of 102-103 all night. We'll see how she is today, but I have a feeling I'll be cooking a Hindu Chicken after all.

My sister and I are going to see Twilight for the second time. we've been listening to the entire series and are in love with it. We love the Macy's day parade. Then we were supposed to go to our good friends home, but Zoe can't go, so maybe we'll go for a few minutes by ourselves. I'm done with Xmas and shipping everything out Friday morning!!!!

I haven't had a chance to get caught up, but Holly send me a PM with your city again as I talked to the director of that school I told you about and she said they'd find you a school in their area. She said your story is identical to every story that every parent tells when they enter the school. They've heard it a million times and every parent is at their wits end before they make the move. The difference is so amazing that families will do anything to get their kids there. She said many of their families drive 1-2 hours per day to get to their school and then many families move to get their kids into the school WOW!!!!

Marilyn, have a great trip!

Didn't have a chance to see where everyone else is going, but do let us know if you are coming down for the candlelight processional.

Good luck today Ian!

Miss you Kelly!!!

Hope Zoe feels better!!!

Been having a little fun.

Hey Marilyn... hands off my Pixie!!!

Sukie is finally finished cleaning. I am free to move about the house again.

But seeing as the Captain has kept on the seatbelt sign...

This is a record, everything is done at 10:00 am on Thanksgiving I need tips on how to be so organized.

Wire hangers...

I don't really need a shower, do I?

Nope.. fine with me...

But I did just take mine using the H20 from the Poly...
