The turkey
dinner on Thursday has been eaten at every meal since, except for breakfast. Hubby has feasted on his dressing and my gravy (which came out so wonderfully that it didn't even require straining), along with two slices of sweet potatoes and a sliver of cranberries. Not a great fan of turkey meat, he even managed to eat a turkey sandwich on Saturday night. I, on the other hand, have dined elegantly on turkey sandwiches at every turn -- a simple concoction of buttered bread, turkey breast salted and peppered, and sweet pickles. Nothing better in the world! The dogs have their own quart ziplock bag of wings and leg meat -- and they can tell from any room in the house when it has been ripped open for a tasty treat.The movie Hugo was viewed in all its 3-D splendor and was thoroughly enjoyed by one family member. The other was placated with a double dip of mint chocolate chip ice cream during the film.
On Friday we headed out around 9:30 for the nearest Dollar Tree store to find gifts for the kids' Christmas party. Hubby loaded his shopping cart with various interesting teen items while I loaded mine with funny sock gifts for the Houston crowd. Since the Dollar store was not having any sales (everything is always a dollar regardless) the store was nearly empty and we shopped in peace. By 11:30 we were back home in our PJ's.
All the rest of our shopping was done on-line and sent on to Houston for wrapping when we arrive at Christmas.
Multiple TV football games were watched by Hubby while I downloaded new literature to the Kindle.
We caught up on most of the laundry.
The PC went strange and we were unable to access the internet after Hubby spend Friday night web-surfing and game playing. But 20 minutes with Earthlink on Saturday solved the problem easily. These kind of things, especially on a holiday weekend, remind me why I pay Earthlink's bill each month.
An evening ride took us around t
own to see Christmas lights, which in Kansas City must include both the Plaza lights (on the right) and the mayor's Christmas tree (on the left). The new Power
and Light district downtown also included some artistic window displays, which we enjoyed.Sunday a sheering of my head is planned (and way overdue) which will keep me sane for the trudge through the weeks before Christmas.
We took a gander at the December calendar and planned out our attack on Christmas -- when to party, when to rent the car for Houston, etc.
We went to bed early and we slept late, husbanding our strength for the march up to Christmas. I think we are ready.

I'm a fan of turkey meat too! (but not sweet pickles) The lights are fantastic. I need a shearing too, but couldn't get in until next weekend. There are going to be some very bad hair days coming up this week! Who liked Hugo and who didn't?
I loved Hugo -- Hubby slept. M.
