I probably should have clarified, in retrospect, that I work the graveyard shift; therefore, when I said that I would blog on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, it will show up on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
That being said, I am at the start of my week and have decided that weekends are no longer used for resting; they are used for playing catch-up! I say this because I spent Thursday catching up on cleaning, Friday was spent catching up on errands, and Saturday was spent on conquering Mt. Wash-more! But I did it. When I went to bed last night, my living room was spotless, my laundry was done, my bills were paid, my groceries were bought, my menu was planned, and all was quiet on the western front. Of course, when I got up at 10 to get ready for work, the 'small fry's' had decided that building a fort in the living room, with every blanket and pillow in the house, was a grand idea; as was eating popcorn. They will be doing some cleaning today!!! This is what happens when Dad falls asleep on the couch!! Oh well, nothing that can't be fixed!
I got my T-day menu planned and bought. With the basics covered, anyone who comes over can bring whatever and it will just add to the feast! Over the last couple of years, Darin and I have worked out a pretty stellar system for our T-day bash. He is in charge of the turkey, stuffing, gravy, and rolls. I am in charge of the casseroles and mashed potatoes. My sister is in charge of pie - I told her that a bottle of Pinnacle Pumpkin Pie Vodka did not qualify. I think she was disappointed. ;)
Because of finances, T-day decor is going to be sparse this year, though I did spend $10 at the dollar store for a few things. I'll post pics as I get the decor set up.

Sounds good! Wish we were a bit closer but maybe Christmas to New Years time will work. Great job!
