beansideIt's Wednesday! Whoohoo! One more day til Turkey day! (When I can sleep in!)
Aside from cooking tomorrow, I'm not doing a ton of stuff this weekend. We have a couple of games on Saturday and one on Sunday. We're also going out on Sunday and will have massages, because Jess' back has been really hurting and so has my neck.
The place we go for massages is in downtown in a trendy area, so we can hit one of the many little restaurants nearby and have lunch afterwards. Parking can be fun, but we'll cross our fingers. Last time was the best massage I've ever had, so I have high hopes.
I ended up taking half a day off yesterday. I had to go get the turkey in an unfamiliar area, and it was slated to rain starting at 4. I get off at 4:30, so I was looking at a drive in the dark and the rain, and I was not having it. So I left at 12, and walked the doggo, then went up to Farmer's Daughter and picked up my turkey and some extra stuff. It's a little farm stand that has a big fridge for the turkeys. We got one that's 12-15lbs, though it felt heavier when I was carrying it.
After that, I relaxed and we had lunch. Then, my ramekins arrived, so I made the pumpkin custard. It turned out pretty well! I'd probably add a little extra cinnamon and ginger to the pumpkin pie spice next time, but it still tasted good, just not as spicy as I expected. They have a topping of crushed gingersnaps and melted butter, which give it a little salty flavor that I really liked.
(Recipe can be found right here.
Right now I'm sitting in front of our tree, which has been further decorated. I've started wrapping presents, so it's looking festive.
I cracked and gave my sister one of her presents last night. The canvas print of Yoda as a cartoon character came and I just couldn't wait. She loved it, and wants to put it up in the living room.
Today, work, which will be dead. Not as dead as Friday will be, though!
Reminder that the post for holiday cards can be found right here. As I said in the post, if you want a card, even if you think I have your address, I assure you that I don't. I lost all of that in the move last year. I'm hoping to have a little time to write cards out this weekend. We have standard holiday and will have some snarky/potentially profane ones as well, so let me know which you prefer.
Okay, time to go take a shower. I've got the tattoo consult tonight and I don't want to smell bad. Everyone have a stellar Wednesday!
