Cold Feet

Don’t you just hate it when you step in the shower too early and the water is still cold?  Your forced to wait for it to warm up butt-naked &  freezing your ass off,  while bone chilling water hits your feet for what seems like an eternity.  There are few things worse in life…

Ok, so maybe there is but for now we’ll pretend there isn’t.  This is how I started my day, and I’m still a little bitter about it.

Another week…another dollar.  That seems to be my perspective lately.

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving though.  I work that night, so it’s just a day like any other but I’m still looking forward to cooking that afternoon and hanging out with the girls & Andrew.  This time next year Andrew will be deployed again, so I plan to live it up the best I can while he’s still around.  I mention his deployment like it’s no big thing, but trust me, it’s a sore point.  I’m trying to stay in denial as long as possible.

Last year I swore off the turkey…this year, I’m not sure I have the same resolve.  I have yet to buy a Turkey because all the commissary sold were Butterball Turkey’s and those I refuse to buy.  After work today I’m going to head out to the local Amish grocery store and get a turkey.    I can’t resist this year!  Andrew also bought a duck…he’s crazy about some duck.  I’m not sure I can say the same.  But we’ll see.

Anyway, I’ll leave this post with a few questions for any readers out there…

What dish are you most looking forward to this Thanksgiving?  Have any family favorites that show up every year, where it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving unless they were there?  As for me, it’s all pretty traditional stuff…sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce…etc.  I also like green bean casserole but I’m the only one in the family, so I won’t be making it this year…the same goes for stuffing…which is a rip off, and come to think of it I might just make enough for me, Thanksgiving NEEDS stuffing if nothing else!
