"You were going to leave without me."
~ Quest For Ehlarayn rough draft
Yes, I'm posting this a day early. This week is going to be crazy busy with Thanksgiving in the middle of it, and I have at least one time consuming thing other than writing to do every day of the week except Friday and Sunday. While the man is our main cook of the house (when he's home, anyway), I am the main cook for two meals of the year: Thanksgiving and Christmas. I've spent the last couple of days making sure all our recipes are on cards so we don't ruin books/magazines and the last two days have been eaten up food planning, how to do what meal planning, shopping planning, specifying things, adjusting things, and so on. And we're not done. I get to test the new, from scratch stuffing we're doing on Monday, we have the garage to clean out so we can locate the Christmas stuff (which goes up on Thanksgiving after dinner), and so on. So, yea, a busy week ahead, and most of it isn't writing related, and it all starts today (baking cornbread for the stuffing, among other things), so up with the goals a day early.
