Have yourself a Merry little Christmas....
Just hopping on here to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakuh, Kwanza or whatever you celebrate. Not really much has been happening lately. I've been quiet on LJ cause there's not really been much to post. I'm making a turkey for Christmas. This will be my first time cooking a turkey so it should be rather interesting. We'll see how well I manage to cook it.
In other news, Tim works today (which isn't unusual). The weird part is he works first shift today. So instead of working from 2:30 to 10:30, which would mean I need to cook early so he gets to eat before work, he'll be working from 7 am to 3 pm, so he'll be able to eat dinner at home tonight. Which means I don't have to start cooking so early. I will be doing a few things early though. I boiled the eggs earlier to make the deviled eggs with. So I'll be cutting them open and taking out the yolks and all that good stuff fairly early. Also, we aren't having pie for dessert, I bought a cupcake mix (though I guess I could make it as a cake if I wanted). So I'm going to bake the cupcakes shortly after I get up and then store them in the fridge (or in the cake saved I have) until after dinner. I just figured I'd do that since the turkey will be using the oven for most of the afternoon. I am not stuffing the turkey, so it'll cook faster. But still, I'm going to be busy. Planning on wearing my new red dress that Tim bought me earlier in the month just for the hell of it. Not sure if I'm gonna watch tv while doing all the prep work or if I'll just have Christmas music on. I haven't decided. It'll likely be music though, as that way I can sing along with it as I'm flitting about the kitchen.
Anyways, that's all really. Posting with my new icon I had made for me. I love it so. It's so pretty. We won't be having a white Christmas this year either, but that doesn't really surprise me. We rarely ever have a white Christmas. But still, it's gonna be nice having Tim home for dinner instead of not. Later!
