Thanks.

you know you're dating a polar bear when he thinks 40 degrees is 'kinda chilly'.
So. Thanks-giving eh.
I'm melting chocolate in the microwave. it's very nerve wracking business.
Oy that was scary.
Piece by piece, my christmas list is coming together. It's exciting. Wrapping it all will be another ginormous task. I'm still looking to finish my sister's present. What a project.
Okay so the chocolate has hardened, the bags are decorated, now it's time to prep the cukes for the smoked salmon boat appetizer.
That was exhausting. I feel like i have arthritis because the cukes were so cold and there were so many of them to peel, cut and core. Owsa.
Time for string beans. How do you feel about string beans?
Trimmed a mixing bowl full. now i'm roasting garlic. I turned the wrong burner on and almost lit my paper plate on fire that has my little grilled cheese on it. Not cool. Burnt paper plate stinks. I'll light a candle.
The garlic smell is so strong that my grilled cheese tastes like it. It has infiltrated my nostrils. Apparently garlic is good for your sinuses though so I'm not complaining.
Alright! So my list is made of what i need to remember to bring later. I desperately need to clean up this kitchen. It's a disasta.
Oh right what I'm thankful for: family. Frank. friends. Petey. my health, my job, electricity. Affording my bills. Clean water. The sky that's blue. The taste of food. My senses (all of them). Having an outlet for my ramblings. Hugs from ppl I love. MUSIC. Awesome tv shows that make me surprise myself with my laugh. My enthusiasm for things. All things. Opportunities.
That's the short list. My feet hurt now and I must rest them on the ride up to Grammy's.
Happy Thanksgiving and wish me luck for later...in case I do end up part of the early morning black friday crowd.
Catchya on tha flip siiide.
