Changed my mind
I have the night off from work but still have to go into town to get a few things I still need for my trip. Was thinking about just driving through Burger King as I haven't been there in forever.

Soooo Much Turkey
Getting ready for dinner. I have 2 turkeys in the roaster. Just called my son and asked him to turn on his oven so I can do the pies. He tells me he has a turkey in the oven and another waiting when the first one gets done. This son usually brings ham. Guess I'll be eating turkey for awhile. Good thing I like turkey!

Keeping hands busy
Follow up on the late evening munchie thread. I do needlework at night to keep my hands busy so I'm not so inclined to munch when I'm chilin in front of the TV after a long day. I often work on puzzles too. Seems if I can keep my mind and hands occupied, I'm better at staying away from the mindless munchies. Does anyone…
