Dinner at Kat's. (Goes without saying that it would be better if ita wasn't in pain.)
And yeah, it's amazing how with any place, the cute or beauty or elegance or whatever, can be obliterated by the presence of stuff. Our house is gorgeous. And we have beautiful things. I can objectively say that. However, it is never going to live up to its potential because we simply have too much stuff. And while I'd love to have a perfectly put together home the way my mother-in-law or my craxy sister-in-law do, I'm a)too lazy to devote myself to that kind of housekeeping and b) I refuse to completely hem the kids in and not let them live in their own house. There'll be time for neat houses. Eventually. Maybe.
::will never be a minimalist::
including a rocking horse that has a braidable tail and mane and it also makes noises and has a tail that wags and a muzzle that moves.
Is it Butterscotch?
too much crap is totally my problem, but I also have yard envy. If I can do in the Livingroom what we just did in mac's room then I would feel a bit better.
Is it Butterscotch?
Butterscotch colored or named?
It's this one, a gift from our friend David who also thought it was important for Noah to have a wading pool. It's a lovely gift but, it's currently too tall for Noah and freaks him out a bit. And me too.
The pork butt and the turkey won't be smoked until tomorrow and the turkey is a test run for thanksgiving. I'm thinking about doing a Pioneer Woman style thanksgiving .

I can't even imagine how much butter that would require!
ION, I can't decide if I should go to the grocery store and/or get my nails done.
Butterscotch colored or named?
Both, actually. Last year, Jennifer Crusie bought Butterscotch the Pony for Patricia Gaffney as a gift after Pat had complained on a writer's critique group that a bunch of us were on that she wanted a pony.
So we were having this miniconference (the one in Cincinnati last year, Teppy) and Jenny brought this pony in, and we put it together, then one of the girls who lived in Maryland and had driven, stopped in Pennsylvania on her way back home and left it on Pat's front porch.
So Pat has a pony. And it whinnies and moves its head and is generally very freaky.
I can't even imagine how much butter that would require!
HA! Seriously.
But I was thinking more of style than actual recipes since I'm not trying to feed a gabrillion.
Turkey
mashed potatoes of some sort
Bourbon sweet potatoes
Green beans and almonds
pumpkin cake with whiskey whipped cream
whiskey glazed carrots
Apple crisp with maple cream sauce.
