less than a week since my last one.
it's the least i can do for you.
since you put up with me and all.
:)
i am having quite the paradoxical moment.
i am yearning desperately for thanksgiving break, which now starts in less than 24 sweet, blessed hours.
i am, on the other had, decidedly NOT looking forward to thanksgiving break as miss raven and i will be alone.
i am pitiful, i know.
here are our plans for the *big* day:
- watch the parade
- drink coffee
- knit
- eat the traditional meal of scrapple, rye bread, and french fries.
i do plan on doing a wee bit of black friday shopping. my LYS is having a wonderful sale and i have no intention of missing it. i have gifts to make for christmas, people.
after the holiday it is just four (hopefully) short weeks until christmas break. i NEED a break. i love my kiddos dearly, but i NEED a break. they are so amped up for this break that it is almost torture to do any school work. alas, they have a math test tomorrow. i am not completely heartless, though. no homework for the babies over the break. i figure they NEED a break, too. :)
now i must go. i must knit. and knit. and knit. christmas is coming and i must be ready!
night!
:)
Enjoy your days off. We aren't eating traditional food either. My daughter and I are always by ourselves on Thanksgiving. My husband works evenings and works Thanksgiving so he can have Christmas off. Some day I will try scrapple. I have seen it on the Food Network. Do you make it yourself? Take care. XOXO
ReplyDeleteWHOOHOOO another blog!!! Happy BFF!
ReplyDeleteI am excited too about Turkey day but SOOOOOOO miss you and the time that we used to spend together over Thanksgiving break! And I miss the black Friday BFF shopping!!! but...life changes and goes on..though I really wish we could spend some time together!
Christmas break will be here before we all know it! Have fun!!!
Having tried Scrapple for the first time while I was away for my Rhinebeck/SnB Girls' Weekend, I can see why you chose to consume it.
ReplyDeleteYour Thanksgiving plans sound wonderful to me.
While I will be lucky enough to spend time with my family, I'm going to be a little sad this Thanksgiving. This is the last holiday I need to get through without my dad being here.
