Top Ten Tuesday - One of those days

Thanks to Oh Amanda for this week's Top Ten Tuesday idea!

Have had one of those days?

1.  Where you worked (or were up) all night?

2.  Then came home, ready to go to bed, and everyone is up and just getting started for the day?

3.  And then once you said your "good mornings" and gave kisses, you were SO excited to climb into the nice warm bed.

4.  Just to get woken up a little later because your husband/wife wants to ask you if s/he can wear a certain beanie.

5.  Then proceeds to say that they're going to take a shower in the same room where you're sleeping.

6.  When s/he knows that the little one is going to come in and want to play while s/he is in the shower.

7.  Then, just when you get settled back in to sleep, and the boys decide to leave the house for while

8.  The little one decides to test out the doorbell several times

9.  And the cat isn't happy that he thinks he's alone in the house now and proceeds to start yowling/meowing.

10.  And then it's time to get up and go back to work until the wee hours of the morning.

Not that that's the day I've had or anything.  Happy Tuesday!  It's now my weekend!!!



Meet Me On Monday

It's Monday and I'm still stuck here at work.  Been here since 5:45pm last night.  I've got a little less than an hour left, but then I come back at 3:45pm.  I hoping to sleep all day.
Enough of that, let's get going with the Meet Me On Monday questions.  Thanks to Never Growing Old for the questions.

1.  What is your favorite way to eat chicken?
     I guess my favorite way would have to be marinated and baked.  Lately though I'll just throw it in the crock pot with some sauce and let it simmer for several hours.

2.  Have you decorated for Christmas yet?
     Yes!  We have the outdoor decorations up and went and bought a fake tree last week.  We haven't decorated the tree just yet because we're having our carpets cleaned this week and I wanted to be able to easily move the tree.  My son is loving laying under the tree.  Sad we didn't do our tradition of cutting one down, but it's proving to have been a better idea to get the fake one.

3.  What is your favorite article of clothing?
     Sweatpants/pajama bottoms.  They're SO comfortable.  Ahh, I wish I was home right now in a nice warm pair, snuggled in bed.  Almost time to go home.

4.  Do yo pay your bills online or write checks the old fashion way?
     It wasn't until recently that I started paying bills online.  And actually the majority of my bills are on auto-pay.  I found myself forgetting to pay them ever since I had my son, so it was easier to put them on auto.  There are still some bills that I write checks for, but majority is done online.

5.  Do you make Christmas cookies?
     No, but I have visions of someday doing it with my son.  I'd like to make sugar cookies and decorate them.

More Friday Fun - Friday Fill In's

I discovered this blog that looked like a lot of fun.  It's called Friday Fill-ins.  Works the same as the Five Question Friday, except you fill in the blank.  Easy peasy fun!

1. Three things I must have on my Thanksgiving table: Turkey, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes.

2. My cats are sacked out on the couch.

3. This is a new Friday fun blog for me.

4. My husband like to decorate as early as possible.

5. Oh, man, thankfully it's a holiday at work; no admin around!

6. I need to perfect the art of making stuffing.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleep, tomorrow my plans include working and Sunday, I want to stay home, but have to work all night until Monday morning!

Five Question Friday

Don't forget to link up over at Mama M's blog!

1. What is your favorite part of a Thanksgiving meal?

     The cranberry sauce.  But it has to be the jelled kind, not the one with bits of cranberries in it.  I know, it's processed and probably not traditional at all, but that's what I always had growing up.  It's my favorite.

2. Are you a host or a guest for Thanksgiving this year?

     I am the host this year.  My husband's brother and wife came over.  It was a lot of fun.

    

3. When you think of one Thanksgiving tradition, what comes to mind?

     Football

4. You have two pieces of pie in front of you and you HAVE to eat one...do you choose pumpkin or pecan?

     I wouldn't choose either one, but if I had to, I'd try the pecan.  I don't like pumpkin.  Something about the texture of the inside.

5. Are you a Black Friday Shopper?

     Nope.  Although one year I didn't realize it was black Friday and went to Mervyns to find an area rug.  I realized what day it was when I got there.  I decided to go anyhow, I had nothing else going on.  It was fun to watch everyone get so upset and mad with the long lines.  This morning, on my way to work, the line at Best Buy was SO long.  I couldn't believe it.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Top Ten Tuesday - What's needed for Thanksgiving dinner

It's Top Ten Tuesday over at Amanda's blog.  For this week, I'll go with my top ten choices of things needed for Thanksgiving.  Think of it as a list to make sure I got everything for dinner.

1.  Turkey - definitely a must have.  Check

2.  Cranberry Sauce - Check

3.  Stuffing and all ingredients for it (celery, onions, broth) - Check

4.  Pumpkin Pie - Even though I don't like it, I still bought it for everyone else. And whipped cream!          
     Check

5.  Mashed Potatoes - Coming Thursday, my sister-in-law will be making them here.

6.  Salad and fixings - Check

7.  Martinelli's Sparking Apple Cidar - We go though this like hot cakes, so I got 3 bottles.  Check

8.  Corn on the Cob - Check

9.  Dinner Rolls - Check

10.  Family - Yup, they'll be there!!

I can't wait.  I made my first turkey last year and it was awesome!  I got the same type/brand this year and it's sitting out now.  I need to get it thawed by Thursday, so I'll be bouncing it between the counter, cold water and the refrigerator for the next day.
Hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving!!!
