Gaylean, I had no idea you were a wine drinker.
I'll take a picture of myself tomorrow and you can decide how much I like wine

Tammy, if I had to cook, that's probably how I would do it!

I went shopping on Black Friday ONE TIME in my life and will never do so again. The great deals that can be found are not worth the chaos. If I'm not able to get shopping done before Thanksgiving, I do the rest online. I'd rather pay shipping than deal with the traffic and crowds and rude & shoving people.I would enjoy Thanksgiving, but Black Friday shopping would stress me!!!

It's tradition and I don't get in the spirit of Christmas if I don't go.Don't be fooled by her looks. That's the evil one, or the "claw-footed one who walks among us" as we affectionately call her.
I don't believe it for a minute! I might just have to take a little drive and take her off your hands, and the other one too while I'm at it!
Those are your dogs? I LOVE them! What are they exactly? I love the faces! Beautiful!No I'm still here. I had to pull the gratin out of the oven. I also decided to amuse myself by taking photos.
So, in an act of desperation, here is one of the dogs:

Want me to get Tyler to come stab his hand with a fork?He's not even one of the proper guests. He's somebody's boyfriend (OK, he has been coming here for Thanksgiving for about 12 years or so, and his annoying us every year has become somewhat of an Eastwood tradition, but he is still relegated to the designation of, "the boyfriend."
Considering that this year I have the 6 million dollar heritage turkey, the most expensive turkey I could possibly find in the entire northern hemisphere, there is going to be a battle and a race for the left overs.
Might as well make use of his weirdness!

Sorry your movie outing got cancelled. Bummer. What happened? Oh well, at least you have DIS!Are you kidding....I plan on stealing an entire turkey leg and taking it home with me.........love me some dark meat!
....back to catch up.....

Yikes! That's creepy!Ok... creepy day...
You see back in High School I had a guy who used to well, almost STALK me... We all hung out in a group together and he took it a bit too far...
It's been something that all of my friends have sort of kept an eye on for me...
Well... then there's facebook and classmates...
seems he's been checking my profile on both (it appears on classmates each time he visits and some of my friends have told me he's asked about me... ) alot... I did not accept him as a friend when the request came through - I think it was a good idea...
I called one of my friends to let him know... we'll see if anything else happens...![]()

John just got home with the wine and the mulling spices. Now I'm happy! It's a good thing that we have a winery right down the block.
HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!

Yum! And your pumpkin bread pudding sounds amazing.Bourbon, butter and brown sugar is an awfully good combination.
The sweet potatoes are there only to hold up the syrup.
YUP!I feel like you were having a conversation with me but I wasn't thereDo you guys feel like that when I post like this?
But it's still fun, so I don't care! And with the time difference, whatever works is good.
The spirit of Christmas comes for me when we put up our tree and all our decorations.It's not about the savingsIt's tradition and I don't get in the spirit of Christmas if I don't go.
What are you drinking?
NOTHING tonight, but I will be tomorrow with my mom.
YUP! That's my tradition too!Tradition says "DECORATE ON THANKSGIVING WEEKEND"
NEVER, NEVER,NEVER GO SHOPPING ON
BLACK FRIDAY!
