Just Doing the Stuff!

 Hello all.  Here we are in U.S. 2 days out until Thanksgiving.  We are now exactly a month from Christmas, and about 5 weeks from a new year!!!  YIKES
Weren't we just celebrating all these things a couple months ago???  Sure seems so.
It is a wet, wet morning here.  Temps are the 50's and rain.  No outside kitties yet this morning!  Smart kitties.  That has upset Bitsy, as he like to greet them each morning (and yell at them) at the door.  So, he had breakfast and is now curled up with me.


Well, it looks like the weather is going to change up in a day or so.  We will be colder and windy.  It is almost December, so I guess it is to be expected.
I have been doing the things one doesn't want to do in the rain, nor in the cold.  Outdoor stuff been getting done, more each day. Things plugged in.  
Things being hung, to avoid the cold.  You all know I am not a fan of cold!

I have been making the lists and checking them twice.  Trying to figure out what I do have for gifts so far, and what needs to be gotten.  Placing the order for yearly gifts that all look forward to.  So glad to get that done.
I did run out for a few errands yesterday morning (early).  I got my monthly gas - a whole 1/4 tank (actually less) and used my points.  I was in the Kroger lot at that point, so I did run in to look for a few basket stuffers.  Got a couple things sis said she really like for her gift bag in the way of snacks, got a couple other odd ball gifts.  It was early, so no real traffic in the store!  In and out.
Got kitty litter at WM market on the way home.  Good for several weeks now.

Trying to eat up things that are easy this week!  Using freezer meals and stuff from frig.  Keeping it simple - looking forward to that turkey!!!!  I will do a turkey breast here on Friday. 

I will NOT be going out on Black Friday at all.  I am thinking about going to a craft/holiday bazaar close by on Saturday.  I guess it depends on the weather - they keep talking rain/snow conditions.  If I do, I do.  If I don't, no big deal.
It is "Shop Small" Saturday - so if you get the opportunity, shop those bazaars or small family-owned businesses.  You are helping folks in your community - not corporations.

What is everyone up to?  You getting that bird (or whatever) and the kitchen ready for the big day?
Do you shop on Good Friday?  Be careful if you do!!!  The bad people will be out too.
Just DO the stuff - whatever it may be!!!!

Have a beautiful and blessed day!

  1. We are celebrating in the park as well. There will be turkey and ham and all the fixings. The majority are Canadian but we're thankful to be here to enjoy the weather and each other's company.
    Have fun with your family!

  2. Good morning. We have the same weather here. It really looks like fall. I will make the cornbread today and set it aside for the dressing. I may go ahead and make my pie crust too. Most things will get prepped tomorrow evening to make Thursday a bit easier on me. There is a craft fair Friday that we may go to. I'm not much of a shopper but it will be nice to get out and walk around a bit.
    They say Saturday into Sunday we will have snow. Who knows though. Have a great day.

    1. It sure is icky out. Sounds like you have a good plan. The S word is one reason I may or may not go Saturday. It would be fun to go to - but I guess I wait and see. Nothing I need, but haven't gone to one in a long while.

  3. Time absolutely zooms by! Hard to fathom that it will soon 2026.

    I noticed that as I went out to cut cilantro to put on my eggs, that is almost seems like a spring day. I heard a lawnmower engine and I assume the fellow was running out the gas. Not looking forward to the cold and wet, possibly snow.

    Bits missed his "neighbors" this morning! Does he need a companion?

    Love the quote! Saved to my "Quotes" board on Pinterest.

    1. You bet time does fly.
      I heard a lot of noise out yesterday - blowers, mowers, etc.
      I am not sure how he would do with another cat - he grew up with Blackie, but other than that not sure. He likes Licorice and talks to him - but I can't touch Licorice, so that doesn't work. The other cats - he yells at and carries on. He likes to let them know this is his house! LOL
