rebecca_in_blue(Last year, if I remember correctly, I was thankful that my classes for the next day got cancelled.)
I've been meaning to post for a while, but I've had a busy week.
On Sunday, we finally got a couch! My aunt and uncle in a neighboring town had a couch that belonged to the aunt who died in 2004. They decided they no longer wanted it, so on Sunday afternoon, my uncle drove me out to their house and we loaded it into his truck. We drove back to my apartment, and my uncle and older brother managed to get it up the stairs and inside. I am so happy to have a real couch again! It is infinitely better than the "ghetto couch" that I made out of blankets and a sleeping bag. The only downside is that my aunt and uncle let their cats lie all over it, so it was covered in cat hair, which makes Rebecca wheeze. I washed the cushion covers and pillows, and I've been vacuuming it almost every day.
On Monday, I worked a ten-hour day. Not fun at all. I was supposed to work only nine hours, but I got confused about my schedule and stayed an extra hour. I didn't even realize until I got home and Sara asked me why I was so late getting off. Felt very stupid. None of my managers noticed because they expected me to know my own schedule. Sara says this means my store is poorly-run, but whatever. My store is more organized than hers.
On Tuesday, I worked nine hours and started baking as soon as I got home. I made two dozen pecan muffins for Thanksgiving.
On Wednesday, I went to my aunt's house and helped her make Green Glop – one of my very favorite holiday dishes/deserts. It's green Jell-O with marshmallows, whipped cream, and cottage cheese. I've eaten a big bowl of it almost every year for as long as I can remember, but I'd never made it myself before.
Thanksgiving was very fun this year. I spent it at Grandma's house, as always, and as always, there was a lot of relatives (Grandma, Carla, Celeste, Connie + Girls, Patrick + Family) and a lot of foods (turkey, rice dressing, cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, pecan pie, pumpkin pie). So Rebecca is a lucky girl – she had a lot of food to eat and a lot of people to share it with. Everybody liked her pecan pie muffins, and Obama won the election.
And Sable got a big bowl of turkey bones. :)
