TO FREAKING DO

Went to gather the cookie-making stuff and discovered that I have:

1 bag of peanut butter chips
1 bag of cinnamon chips
1 bag of raspberry chips
1/4 bag of white chocolate chips
2 bags of butterscotch chips
1/2 bag of chocolate chips

I need at least THREE bags of chocolate chips and since I can’t get to a store that has them until Monday evening and the cookies have to be MADE TOMRROW, I will have to go buy baking chocolate and chop it up. Drrrr.

However, in the midst of hunting for the chocolate chips I discovered that I have FIVE boxes of stuffing so I don’t need to worry about that! Everyone is confirmed for Thanksgiving and we are definitely 28 people unless someone get sick at the last minute. Everyone has said okay to what they were assigned or offered to bring, so I think we are covered. The only thing I have to get is potatoes for mashin’ and I’ll wait until later this week for that. At 3-4 potatoes per person times 28 people, that is a HELLA lot of potatoes.

The dog is bored. He keeps sighing as he lays down next to me. Then he gets up and goes and brings me a stuffed animal, but we don’t throw things inside the house, so he’s out of luck. I’ve been out in the back throwing a mini football for him for 2 half-hour stints, which you would think would wear him out, but no. Taking him for a big long walk in about 20 minutes, since Martin and I will be gone all evening.

I had just realized that if I didn’t post now, I wouldn’t have gotten a post in today, so I’m glad I remembered! I would hate to break my perfect record so far this November, even if some of my posts have been totally lame.
