So.......

What are everybody's plans for this week?? We are doing the usual thing over here. I'm excited to have Thanksgiving in my new house and bigger kitchen. I didn't get any painting done though :( I got really sick and was in bed for 2 days last week! I think we will have about 23 people for dinner on Thursday. My dad is coming over to make his awesome stuffing and my mom is making her unbelievable apple pie. I love it when we are all hanging out the night before getting the stuff made ahead of time, it is my favorite 2 days of the year. It is going to be so YUMMY! I splurged this year and ordered a super fresh turkey from a meat market (that has the BEST ever steaks and meat!) so we will see if it is worth the extra money and effort. The other stuff we have had from that market has blown our minds so I have high hopes for our turkey. I am a litle nervous though because it won't have one of the pop out thermometers to say when its ready, I will have to actually use a meat thermometer. Yikes! I'm going traditional this year, no fancy stuff with the food. Last year we brined the turkey, which was really yummy but it ended up a little salty and the gravy was super salty. This year no tricks, just the basics. We eat around 12 noon, if anyone wants to join us! :D


I don't think I will be running anything this week, it will just depend. (I am still doing Iron Girl and Londons Run though!) There is the Turkey Waddle that starts at the school 2 blocks from my house that would be ideal, but I'm havng a bit of a health issue and I might need to take a week off running to fix it, plus I'm not sure what cooking stage I will be in during that time. I might still do it though if I can get everything in line early enough. On friday I am pretty sure we will be going to Thatcher to hang with my parents for the weekend. My dad built a sauna in his backyard that he wants us all to try out. Thatcher is always a good time for some R&R for me and the kids have fun so that will be cool. I LOVE this week!!!
