Work is quite lax today, so many people left early, I hate them! I am already craving beer at it’s only 3:50… I assume it is because it feels later and it already feels like the holiday now. We need to keep more beer at work. I have to run and get stuff for the green bean casserole after work I can only hope they are not sold out of everything by now.

This year should be an interesting Thanksgiving. We are having a stay at home Thanksgiving for the first time. J has a big family so they normally all get together for Thanksgiving and Xmas. Not to mention his birthday is the day after Xmas so it’s even more exciting for him. Well this year we are going to stay home and cook some food ourselves. I got all excited to make some food for us because I want to feel like I contributed. Then we realized that making stuff from scratch is like more expensive than buying it already made. And we are kind of low on finances right now. So, we got Thanksgiving in a box. It comes with almost everything you need, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, Turkey, vegetables and rolls.

I am contributing a homemade green bean casserole and J’s mom gave him a recipe for me to make some fruit salad with marshmallows. We are also having 3 pies, yes that is right, 3 pies between 2 people. Well J’s work has a cafe that will make homemade pies for people (for 8 bucks each). So we are getting a Pecan pie and a pumpkin pie from there. Then we get a pie with our thanksgiving in a box. So maybe we wil get an apple pie with that.
It is going to be a fun time. Maysie loves chicken, so I have a feeling she will really love turkey, which is good, because we will have way too much!
