I love making Thanksgiving dinner. To me, its just a great big get together without all the pressures. Just come together and eat. And its my daughter’s birthday – so its even more special.
I am grateful for family and friends, and good food, and for all of you who put up with me.
So for me – getting the house in shape and planning and making a great meal are not chores, but labors of love.
I know you may not feel the same way.
With a little planning it is all so much easier. I’ve had one day off in the last 2 weeks, yet I’ve managed to get the bulk of the heavy housework, and probably 1/2 of the shopping done.
Our dinner is traditional. Nothing exotic or complicated. Just good real food. I think people make things way harder than they need to be.
Get the bulk of the work done over the next couple of days so you can actually enjoy the holiday.
I just came up with a new quote -
“Don’t put off til tomorrow what you could have done yesterday.”

Ready for Thanksgiving Dinner?
How’s your Thanksgiving prep coming along?
I was flipping through the sale papers today finalizing my plans. It’s going to be another weird year here. My daughter is going with her boyfriend. It looks like my big dinner will be Christmas this year. Thanksgiving will be a small affair here, and then we’ll have another dinner at my sister’s on Saturday.
It’s tough balancing everyone’s family obligations.
But I wanted to make sure that I’m keeping you on track!
This weekend you should have the house cleaned, and everything but the fresh foods bought. I’m going to get the fresh stuff Tuesday. Monday is a bad day to buy fresh stuff, and Wednesday will be a circus.
Don’t forget things like foil, napkins, toliet paper… There’s a whole list of things to remember in your copy of Dance Through Thanksgiving. I’ve been stocking up on butter while it’s on sale too, and just throwing it in the freezer for cookie baking emergencies
I thought about tweeting or blogging a blow by blow description of making the dinner. I wonder if anyone is interested?

Have a great weekend. My daughter’s 18th birthday is coming up, and she wants to go shopping, and out for a nice dinner. No fast food for this girl. Wonder where she got that from???
Yeah, we’re spoiled.

Countdown to Thanksgiving
I’ve been thinking that Thanksgiving is next week for the last couple of days. I don’t know why! I realized this morning that I’m a whole week ahead of myself. Now that is just too weird, isn’t it?
I want to help you get there too.
Now don’t look at me that way. If I can do it, so can you.
If you haven’t already – get your Thanksgiving Planner and get started on the little tasks this weekend and get yourself a good head start. It will feel really good to be on top of things, won’t it?
If you’re already subscribed, you won’t be subscribed again, you’ll simply be directed to the download page.
