Hello everyone!
Today was administrative day. So seldom I am "excited" about dealing with papers, that I considered that I could make the sacrifice of not sitting at my crafting desk for a day in order to put these affairs in order.
I had to transfer my health insurance over to another company and read all these ambiguous terms. I'm working at our baby registry. Honestly, putting together a baby registry is hard work (for me at least! :-) ). Although a few friends are always open to talk to me about what I need, it's hard to make the needs specific. :-)
I just talked to my mother-in-law about the Thanksgiving menu. She got the impression from James that I would be willing to cook a turkey! What I remember is that I told James I'd love to make sure we have turkey at Thanksgiving and probably he figured out (a man of logic that he is) that the most sure way to have turkey is to make it myself :-) So, I'm on the list to make the turkey. It's definitely very tempting, but it's my first time, so please HELP me! Not to mention the impression on the mother-in-law. :-)
I've been thinking today how my crafting world affected my real world. So, I've spent too much time in the crafting room when....
~ I cut buttons off my (or my husband's) clothes because they fit perfectly with the project;
~ I name colors after Papertrey Ink system ("it's a kind of raspberry fizz with a little bit of melon berry in it...") ;
~ I tell James I bought 10 stamps (postal stamps) and my husband makes big eyes (10??!!), because for him the word "stamps" means only one thing...
~ I buy a 500 dollars camera to photograph a 3 dollars card (well, more than one...:-) )
What is your "I've spent too much time in the crafting room..."? :-)
What is your favorite Thanksgiving recipe?
Thanks for stopping by!

Funny. I'm also cutting the buttons from my kids cloths (they have so nice little buttons), and two days ago I just cut the decorative buttons from my sleeping blouse.
But if we are two, that means is OK.
draga am ras sa mor de postul asta. Ce e registrul pt cupil? trusou?
ai inceput deja sa cumperi??? mama ce fain. Eu ador sa cumpar pt copii. Mai ales pt fii-mea.
Si nu uita camera aia de 500 e numai buna sa prinzi fiecare mic gest al baietelului tau. Primele luni cand doarme, dupa in timp ce se baga prin toate colturile.
O zi minunatat iti doresc.
Daniela,
That post is to funny. I feel your pain on cooking! I am not much of a cook and neither was my mother growing up. When I used to live at home our Thanksgiving tradition consisted of grilling steaks and having twice baked potatos. If it was me I would pay a friend/local butcher to make a turkey and bring it to Thanksgiving! Less stress and worth the money!

Well, according to the "man book" (my father always refers to it) the fastest way to never be asked to do something agsin is to intentionally screw it up the first time... In that spirit, you could always take a canned turkey this year - lol!
But honestly, it's not hard, just time consuming... Check out butterball's site and you'll find out everything you need to know! BTW~ when are you due? I'm due in January... good news, we have the perfect excuse to pig out over the holidays!!! Good luck!
My all time fave Thankgiving recipe is my mom's cornbread dressing. Would not be Thanksgiving without it.
You cut button's off of someone's clothes?! I'd never believe it! :-)
