For those Americans on my flist:

Happy Thanksgiving!

And, for those non-Americans on my flist:

Happy Thursday!

I have two 20 pound turkeys cooked, rested, and now waiting in the refrigerator to be warmed up just before everyone gets here for supper. I have 2 gallons of fresh collards prepared, waiting to be warmed up also. I have tracked down every mote of dust in the house and shooed it out; every piece of clothing has been washed, dried, folded and put away; the less-friendly cats have been demoted to my bedroom for the day; the friendly cats (Puss, and Boots, lol) have been bathed and are now sporting their new Thanksgiving collars.

Kids stayed at Mom's last night. Christal (my niece) was over there and they begged to go. Which gives me time to get everything set up without the help of tiny hands. Though, Katie did cook the collards, literally. She rinsed them, she washed them, she cut them (with her little safety scissors), she added water, ham and spices to the pot (with me measuring it all out), she stirred in the collards, she checked on them every time the timer went off. And, when I told my mother-in-law that I had the collards ready, she announced loudly, "MAMA! I DID THE COLLARDS!" Heh.

So far I have fifteen words down for my MTYG assignment. Go me. *snort* Hopefully tomorrow I can work on it. The kids are spending the weekend with my brother and his family, and the hubby has to work half a day tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to a big pot of coffee and my computer. I also have tons of flist catchup to do, meh.

*hugs all*
