Tuxie Tuesday

Mom is continuing to get ready for Turkey Day. Last night she did a bit of puttering around the house, and then she sat down at the tippy tappy lapbox and made a plan.

and this is just the first page!

I think the best part about Turkey Day is that Mom will be home with me for three whole days afterwards!  And that after Turkey Day comes Christymas!!

Fabulous Friday

Mom and I got some terrific news last night!!!! (Don't get carried away, it's not what you think.)

Mr Karate and Rubylocks will be in New Hampster for Turkey Day this year.

Woo Hoo!!!

125 days and counting!

This bunch of plates and bowls is another item on Mom's list for the big Turkey Day. Mom took them all out, added these little sticky notes, then took the notes off and put the dishes in the dishwasher.

I'm telling you beans are weird!

Wordy Wednesday

Mom did her books last night and paid Mr Bills. There are lots of Mr Bill. There's a Mr Bill for the heating monster, one for the electricity, one for internet, one for the metal masheen... and so many more. I didn't know there were that many Mr Bills. Mom says there is even a Mr Bill for Christymas, which will be coming soon!

Wowza! Christymas! I can't wait for the Christymas tree!

Mom says Turkey Day is coming first, though, and it's NEXT WEEK! Mom is cooking the big bird (can I tell you again how glad I am a CAT?), Pip-pay will make his apple pie and PlusOne is baking a cake! Mom's already starting to gather her recipes and make lists.

She says she's gonna clean the house this weekend, and drag the rug sucking monster around.

Lucky me.

The leafs are still stuck to the tree. Zoolatry, you guys have not won the Last Leaf Contest.
Mom goes day hunting today after a week of stay-cation. She says she's gonna be wicked busy because she has to hunt the ever elusive Month End before Turkey Day. Then the Turkey Day festivities will be here, and we'll have "Company." Good thing I don't have to do any of that "werk."

Easy Like Sunday Morning

To my furriends, the Furry Bambinos, there are still leafs on the tree, so you did not win the Last Leaf Contest. (If you entered the Last Leaf Contest, and you forgotted what day you picked, look in the sidebar, we have a list...)That tree is being very stubborn. Mom says it is a true New Englander; determined, stubborn and independent.

I am taking it very easy this Sunday. Mom is in the kitchen cooking. The turkey is gonna be dunked and cooked here on Thursday, and she's getting ready.

At least the house -smells- good!

Planning for Big Bird

It is cold and windy outside today. But the sun is shining, and when it shines through the yellow leaves of this tree, it is very pretty. So Mom took a picture. But look what she saw when she turned to go back into the house:This is one of the parsley plants from her garden this summer. Even though we have had a frost, this plant has nice fresh green leaves! Mom will pick some to use this week.

She is getting ready for Turkey Day. Dinner will be at Mimmay and Pippay's. Mr Karate has to do some day hunting, so dinner will be late, about 4 o'clock, but that is not unusual. Mimmay wil cook the turkey, the stuffing, the gravy and the potatoes. Pippay will make the Pumpkin and Apple pies. Mom does the rest. She will make Roasted Red Pepper & Potato Soup, Deviled Eggs and Stuffed Mushrooms for everybody to eat about midday so nobody starves to death before the big bird comes out of the oven. (I want to see THAT!) Mom is also going to cook Brussels Sprouts, Roasted Onions, the Cranberry Sauce and something else, but she hasn't decided yet. She has cookbooks all over the place. Mimmay and Pippay both have heart conditions (under control) so everybody is very calorie and fat conscious. There won't be too many dishes. (Oh yeah, sure. Like I don't know that my Mom is known for going over-the-top.)

Mom did the WW thing this morning again (Jan, check here) and she is back on track.
