Who else is hosting the family this week? We'll have 14 with us Thursday and 5 people staying for the weekend. Needless to say, this week has been busy with planning and preparing. Fortunately, everyone who's coming is arriving with some of the meal, making that part much easier for me. I know where everyone will sit for the meal...not sure where everyone will sit while they're waiting, or, more importantly, where they'll stretch out to nap afterward!
Last Week I:
Listened To: Darling Girl by Liz Michalski, a modern spin off of Peter Pan, which I'm enjoying.
Watched: Mini-him's cat for the week while he traveled to California for work.
Read: The Fairy Tale Life of Dorothy Gale by Virginia Kantra, a spin off of, of course, The Wizard of Oz. This is one of those times when my reading has an unexpected commonality.
Made: Prepping for this coming week, I've made cranberries and a pumpkin/spice breakfast cake.
Enjoyed: Brunch with my Tier Ones and their spouses. Always so good for my heart to be with these people!
This Week I’m:
Planning: See above. It just occurred to me today (how it didn't occur to me sooner, I don't know) that I need to have a meal plan for the whole weekend so I'm starting that plan.
Thinking About: The Big Guy and I did a lot of work putting our basement back together again this week. There's a lot to be done down there yet. Now that we have Miss H settled, we can get rid of the things that we no longer need to save for "some day." Now we can start thinking about what we want to do with that space, now that it's no longer a kid zone.
Feeling: Like taking a day off this week would have been a good idea.
Looking forward to: The chaos that will be my house from Wednesday late afternoon until sometime next Sunday.
Question of the week: Are you a Thanksgiving traditionalist or do you like to experiment with new takes on old favorites?
