Thanksgiving – Epilogue

November 28, 2008


You Are Mashed Potatoes


Ordinary, comforting, and more than a little predictable

You’re the glue that holds everyone together.

What Part of Thanksgiving Are You?

No kidding? Dammit! I was hoping to be something a tad more exciting. Like, umm, the Turkey or the Yams. Mashed potatoes, indeed! Hmmph!

We had a great day, yesterday. The deep-fried turkey was to die for. If you’ve never had it before, you simply must, sometime. I took a portrait of it for my Saturday PhotoHunt post, tomorrow on Flamingo Fotos (it’ll be up after midnight – the beauty of scheduled posting!).

I toyed with getting up at the crack of dark to do some early shopping, but the comfort of my bed and the warmth under the covers (you have to understand – once the mercury drops below 80 and the humidity below 60%, we open all the windows and don’t close ’em again until it goes above those conditions – no matter how cold it gets at night. And it had to be in the low 50’s or high 40’s last night!) acted like some kind of super-gravitational force, and I didn’t even open my eyes until almost 10:00 a.m.! I couldn’t believe it! I never sleep in that late! Yeesh!

So, instead I did a lot of damage at Amazon and at my Daily Click sites (I repeat, you must do some of your holiday shopping there – it’s great!), enjoyed what MJ and I call “coffee on the veranda” for about an hour and a half, late this afternoon, and watched the parrots – all of them! – descend on the feeders one last time for the day.

Charla gave us some leftovers to take home – no pie, though 🙁 – and I’m going to add some mashed potatoes, and we’ll be happy to do it all over again…. yum!

So, what did you do today?
