Gobble Gobble

I did it.
I made my first Thanksgiving dinner. That's right. I made the turkey (granted a breast), mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and rolls. My husband was pleasantly surprised and was impressed I was not only able to have everything maintain it's steaminess but cleaned the downstairs as well.
I think I am getting this homemaker thing. It's not about being the best at it or being perfect.
It's about for me - a good cd (in this case Jimmy Eat World) and Pepsi Spice. And away we go.
The only thing that could have made it better was my family.
Who were supposed to be in Arkansas but missed their flight to Chicago and due to weather even if they changed flights would have been stranded there. As it was the flight they missed was still on the runway because they had no where to send it.
So my Mom and I talked for an hour, my Dad and brother ate shrimp and managed to find one pumpkin pie left at their grocery store.
It wasn't my best Turkey Day but it was our first Turkey Day and that made it pretty good.
Although if I don't eat Turkey again I will be ok with that.

In novel blog news I am not going to make the deadline. Too much personal stuff for me to focus like I needed to. I feel bad I dropped the ball but I have gotten a game started and want to finish it. I have some big fans who feel if I do I could actually get it published and wouldn't that be nice :)
Have a great long weekend everyone.
