It's 10:06 pm and I am still suffering. I didn't take this little poem as I should have.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,

MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.

MAY YOUR POTATOES ' N GRAVY

HAVE NARY A LUMP.

MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS,

MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,

MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER

STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS !!!!!!!!

Yes, everything was good but somewhere I made a pig of myself. Even though un-coordinated me tried to put stuffing under the glass plate (I finally figured it out and picked up the bit that fell on the floor at the buffet) but I did manage to finally get a lot on the plate. LOL! I can't believe I did that. The trouble was, I found the plate too many times. I could hardly get into the car and drive home and then did what I shouldn't have - went to sleep. Actually though, my stomach had stretched as far as it could and was bumping into my ribs. I plain hurt. So it is going to be more than the thighs that it should stay off of.

Because I was in such a happy mood yesterday, I bought my 6-7 lb. chihuahua an 11-12 lb. turkey all for herself. Well, I hope out of the goodness of her heart, she will give some to her cat cousins and also to my sister and myself as sandwiches and left-over type meals. Actually she hasn't learned how to open the refrigerator door yet nor can she use a knife to slice some for herself. I hope she liked the way I cooked it. It really was a fun thing to do for her; the first turkey I've made in the real oven in perhaps 20 years (I used to use a convection oven after that, but nothing since the stroke but the stove top or the microwave.)

Well, it's time to read the ads. Tomorrow is Black Friday and I am one of those.............
