Thanksgiving Eve

Good morning y'all. Happy Thanksgiving Eve. It's chilly outside this morning. Just like it should be this time of year. And there's nothing over 75 in the seven day forecast. Perfect Texas weather.

Andrew and I have a busy day today. I have every intention of finishing my Christmas shopping this morning. I know the traffic will be insane, but I'm hoping that the stores won't be too crowded. I'm not a Black Friday shopper. I just can't take the craziness to save $50. I am, however, a cyber Monday (and Tuesday and Wednesday and everyday) shopper. Internet shopping was made for me.

After the shopping is done (hopefully), we'll come home, and I'll bake pies for tomorrow. I always bake a buttermilk pie for my parents', and I'll also bake a pumpkin pie and another buttermilk for here. Some of the second buttermilk pie will go to my father-in-law since he loves buttermilk pie. The pumpkin pie is Andrew's request. For some reason he thinks we need one here at home.

So I'll bake, and then I'll clean. Usually I clean then bake, but it finally clicked with me that I end up mopping the kitchen floor twice since I'm such a messy baker. I'm not organized or neat when it comes to baking or cooking. I can make the biggest messes you've ever seen. So it makes more sense to clean afterwards.

Tomorrow morning, I'll make a corn casserole, and then we'll head to my parents' for lunch.

Now that you know our itenerary for the next couple days, I'm sure you'll be better able to enjoy your Thanksgiving. I have no idea why I felt the need to share all that, but anyway, if I don't get a chance to tell everyone, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Let the Holiday Season begin!
