Week in Review: November 14-20

I feel like last week was jam packed full of "firsts".

First time playing with air dry clay.

First time making cabbage burgers.

First time having egg nog {in forevers}.

First time the Mr. & I had a night apart from the girls since we moved to Nebraska 2 years ago.

First time I've ever kept pheasant feet in my fridge.

First time I ate a Mickey D's pumpkin pie.

First time this chilly season that I've gotten a sniffly-sneezy cold.

First time I've ever won a scarecrow-makin' contest.

First time I've ever eaten a candy cane before Thanksgiving.

(Just to name a few.)

It's so close to Thanksgiving & the fam & I still have no idea of our plans.

I'm really wanting to make a traditional meal with the turkey & all the fixings. (For the first time EVER.) But then I get scared.

But then I get un-scared because I'm pretty sure it'll just be a tiny gathering.

And how hard could that be?

But then there's an afternoon Turkey Day Buffet taking place at a local restaurant & I'm sure that'd be just as tasty. (And stressless & messless.)

And then I keep thinking how the holidays are approaching very quickly. And I just wish I were sitting 'round the table at my mom's house with my sister & brother & grandma & parents & nieces & nephew, enjoying our usual Thanksgiving eats. Mom made the turkey, my sis-in-law made the pies, & all I had to do was fill celery with flavored cheeses.

*sigh*
