Happy Thanksgiving!
I’ve been woeful about this blog, not from lack of interest but rather sheer laziness (and a pinch of feeling overwhelmed recently with my day job). But today seems a fitting day to start writing again because I have a few brief words of wisdom to offer: don’t start a large household project (like, say, repainting your kitchen cabinets and adding new hardware) a couple of weeks before hosting out-of-town guests for a major holiday. There’s the slimmest of chances that, despite your best intentions, you may not finish the project before the guests arrive. And, on the morning of the major holiday, your house may just look like this:
Fortunately, my dear guests (who arrived Tuesday), have pretended to turn a blind eye to the chaos for which I can’t thank them enough.
In other news, today I’m cooking a turkey for the first time ever. Whoa. I’m a little intimidated. After conducting an enormous amount of Internet research on ways to cook a turkey, I’ve settled on brining it.
That’s the bird in the brining bag now.
Meanwhile, to the readers who are celebrating Thanksgiving today, have a wonderful day. To the readers who aren’t celebrating Thanksgiving today, I hope your day goes alright too.
I’ll write again (soon!) to tell you how the turkey turned out and to give you all the details on the kitchen project.
hoooooorrrayyy! Yikes is back:)
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you – and frankly I think the no-cabinet look is kind of cool….
Thanks, Kirstin! Glad to be back. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
I cannot begin to tell you how this makes my day in terms of a good laugh–a very sympathetic one, however. KRC
I agree with Kirstin: (1) how nice that you’re back, and (2) no cabinet doors is rather neat, in all senses of the word – you’d be surprised how hard it is just to shove something onto a shelf instead of putting it away more or less tidily. The turkey, I have to say, looks rather sinister like that….
