Butterball

The Thanksgiving tradition in our home goes like this. With out fail the 5 Thanksgiving's Jason and I have been together someone has invited us over to their home to celebrate with them. And so because we never have any left overs for my husband to have, he insists that we make a turkey for the Sunday after Thanksgiving so that he can watch Sunday football and eat himself sick.

I've been working on the RS Christmas program today, and I knew I would not be home early to start the bird, so I called Jason and told him I needed him to start the turkey. I told him, place the bird on her belly and put 2 sticks of butter inside, and mash another stick on the outside, salt it a bit.

When I walked in the door about 2 hours later, my loving spouse came up to me and asked me, "you wanted me to put 2 pounds of butter in the inside of the bird???" Thinking he was joking I asked him to explain... and he responded " well i got 6 sticks of butter inside, I couldn't get all 8, and 6 on the outside, I couldn't get in all 4 pounds.
Well needless to say, That's one very fattening bird should I put butter in the mashed potatoes???

P.S. This is also mormon cookie night, and since I had dough already made in the refrigerator, I pre heated the oven and set the dough out so that it would get to room temp. ..... after 25 min in the oven, my cookies looked really runny... turns out Jason turned off the oven on me.

I know who is doing dishes tonight!

Everlasting Friends

This made me cry....

With not having alot of family, this time of year I'm so very thankful for my friends. Happy Thanksgiving !

I would of never guessed:

You are intelligent, & stylish. A true girly girl, you love shopping & makeovers.
Although you are a generous friend, you can be coy, tricky & very persuasive in order to
get your way. You are known to zone out occasionally during conversations, but your
friends forgive you because you are understanding, supportive & know how to throw one
heck of a party!

So the Enrichment Councilor and I are the only ones that come to Enrichment anymore, (and neither of us knows how to play bridge) Not sure where we are going wrong.

One of my good friends is stumbling a bit and its heart breaking to watch her feel as if she is unloved, and doesn't want to come to church.

Just venting frustration.

I'm sure everything will work out.
