It's Saturday night and I am in bed watching Law and Order while the boys are snoozing away (oh, how I wish I could just fall asleep when my head hits the pillow!). I figure what better time than now to post a little update on here?
Thanksgiving day was pretty good! Had a bit of a rough start, though. The four-cheese mac 'n cheese I was making had a bit of an issue..I accidentally put 2 cups of milk versus 4 in the cheese sauce..ugh! So, while it still came out super tasty (thank goodness!!) it wasn't exactly how I like it. Then while I was frantically getting ready while the pasta was baking, I dropped a beauty product in the toilet! I don't know how exactly that happened, all I know is I was on the phone with my mom asking her if my macaroni dish was ruined because of my miscalculation. So, it was a pretty stressful start. But, once we got to the house we were spending the afternoon at, everything smoothed out and we had a pretty great time! Everyone loved the macaroni dish. Mission accomplished.
Today, the Mr. and I went to the mall to browse around and gather some Christmas decorations. I'm stoked to put it all up! Between the mall and target, we bought a tree, some lights, ornaments, a couple Mickey and Minnie stockings, a wreath, some Christmas-smelling candles and some Santa place mats. We also got a high-end wet-vacuum to clean our carpets (I would love to say my dog can do no wrong...but lately he has been having "accidents" near the back sliding doors...lovely). So while the carpets are drying out tonight, I wait. Tomorrow, we will set up the tree and everything else.
One last thing..I tried to make the Snickerdoodle muffins on Wednesday and I had a complete fail! I still can't figure out what happened, but it's like the butter melted and floated to the tops of them. And they didn't firm up like muffins do, Matt ate a couple using a fork and said it tasted like very tasty oatmeal, but not muffins. Hmm..I may have at them again one day soon...but for now I'm fed up. I'll stick with the recipes I do know. :)
