I'm preposting this to wish everyone a happy turkey day.
It just seems strange that we're going to be treated to all the works today, while looking around and still seeing some trees with green leaves on them. Plus a 60-degree day yesterday, complete with snow forecast for later today. Michigan weather is MORE than living up to its name this year.
My father and stepmom are heading to California to spend a week over there. I hope they have a wonderful and safe trip.
Jenni is expecting a true houseful today, and she gets to do all the cooking with no help from anyone else. She sighs and accepts this, and that's a shame. She needs all the help she can get and I hope she delegates some tasks today. I would offer my assistance in a heartbeat, but if you check out last year's Thanksgiving entry to look at my horror stories, you'll see why I retired the baster.
I volunteered to work today, anyway, even though we're not expecting anywhere near the chaos we had yesterday. Part of it is because I'm so used to working holidays, coming off six years at the airport, that it seems to be a natural gut reaction.
I would actually prefer working holidays than working regular days. On holidays, you can't get much business conducted. I'd rather have an off-day where I can use "regular business hours" to get everything done. And Lord knows, there's a lot that needs to get done on my plate.
Every party has a pooper, my mother would always say... that's why they invited me.
But the "pooper" will stay with me. My best wishes for a safe and happy Thanksgiving go to all of you, and stay with you as well. Enjoy!
