Gosh, I didn't realize it was so long since I was here. You can send me all the wet noodle lashes I deserve. It's mostly due to laziness but there were some busy times too. So let me fill you in on what I've been up too.
Thanksgiving, of course, was looking to be a disaster. I took the turkey out on Mon. and put it in the frig. to thaw. Son gets one from his work and I never bothered to look at how big it was. Well when the guys came home Wed. Jared stated it was only 11 lbs. Imagine the panic with almost 20 people. Sent Jack right to the store for another, which was promptly put in water to thaw. The sweet potatoes I got were (though the smallest I could find) were huge, so I baked them Wed. and removed the insides and reheated and mashed. Thursday morning I made the pies early and peeled and cut the potatoes, then we proceeded to get the turkey's ready. One in the oven and one in a roaster. For some silly reason when we put the timer on I was thinking that was the time they would be done. DUH! Not to mention that the temp for the pies was 425 and forgot to turn it down. Well needless to say there was quick calls informing everyone dinner would be much earlier. Fortunately, all turned out well and the day was great fun.
Of course there are the Christmas shopping, regular daily routine, etc. not to mention puppy training. Oreo is doing pretty good with his potty training with only an accident when excited. He has learned to sit and stay. Stays in his own bed for 7 to 7 1/2 hours at night, and loves to play fetch. He still won't climb the stairs, but when your as small as he is it looks a long way up there.
I must say I was happy with the DWTS final. The right one got the trophy. Melissa and Tony really deserved it. I would have been okay with Derek and Shawn too. They were great.
Well that's long enough to for today. I did warn you it was mostly laziness. I will try to do better. I promise.
Have a good day all.
Glad all turned out with the Thanksgiving dinner! I can just see the panic setting in lol. Oreo is looking so cute!
ReplyDeleteSo glad everything went well even though the oven was too hot...it would have burned had that been my stove!
ReplyDeleteOreo is so precious! Look at how much he wants to climb those stairs....you can see it in his eyes. I'm so glad you didn't give up on him. You have so many years of pure enjoyment to come.
We are glad you didn't fall off the face of the earth!
Your Thanksgiving sounds hectic. I am glad it turned out to be fun too.
ReplyDeleteOreo is so cute sitting there at the bottom of the stairs!
Whew - you are making me tired just listening to you. It's a lot of work hosting Thanksgiving. Maybe you need to treat yourself now to something special - something you would really enjoy. Little Oreo is such a darling little dog, Glad you are back blogging now. I need to shape up too - been keeping too busy on Twitter lately.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your Thanksgiving turned out good, bet everything was delish too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you really snatched victory from the jaws of the oven my friend! Wow! Love that picture of Oreo...what a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure everyone will forgive you for your tardiness Terry, i haven't posted for some time either, same reason I suppose, except for training the dog, He's as cute as a button, and these stairs do look a long haul for such a little dog. He'll be charging up them before long.
