Happy Thanksgiving

I am going to be MIA right after I type this. I have a lot of cooking to do today!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Yesterday I had to go out to Candian Tire to get some yard waste bags so I got some chalkboard paint while I was there. Then I swung by Walmart *shudder* and Staples to find some coloured chalk. No luck, so I went to A Buck Or Two and they had some. :D Now we have to make a stencil to spray the paint onto the canisters.

My husband is working, so I have the kitchen all to myself today. I will try to get more pictures of "stuff" today. :D I don't know what I mean by "stuff" either. lol Maybe food, maybe recipes, maybe another house tour... I dunno... no promises 'cause I am too busy today!

I got most of the Halloween decorations up yesterday... which isn't much, but enough to make me smile. :) I don't know if I can hang the old skeleton and pumpkin string lights. I don't know where to put them so they are close to an outlet, and I don't think we have a spare extension cord. I might be able to put them around the window, and in that case I can just buy an extension cord. I have some cob web with plastic spiders to put outside somewhere... I'm thinking from the post of the house, right up near the left side of the door. That will discourage any kids from walking through the garden too. Oh yeah! I still have some little ghost and pumpkin (I think) bags to fill and hang from the tree out front. The decorations won't be too sparse afterall.

I forgot to tell you all that my husband, [livejournal.com profile] nodeg, updated his journal the other day. He posted a wonderful recipe for Salsa Chicken that is very easy, but oh so delicious. It's a family recipe now because we make it often. lol Go check him out! If you haven't read him before, he posts a lot of cool links. He doesn't update often ('cause blogging is for girls? lol) but when he does it's worth reading. He has another site back up and running, so some of his LJ posts are mirrored over at: http://nodeg.com If you visit his main site (nodeg.com) check out the section called "My del.icio.us links". He's got some neat stuff linked in there.

And just a reminder that the pooch icon contest will be restarting tomorrow... or possibly the day after. Due to cheating, they were forced to scrap the whole thing and start over.

I hope everyone has a good holiday... or a good Monday! ;)
