Long weekend!!!

Today is Friday and it was a great day.

I have been getting use to waking up early during the night, but there is a new twist in that story.  I think Kitty is a little magic cat.  Before, when we thought she could open the door to our room because she always opened our door, we didn't know that it just didn't latch at all.  Any one can just push it open so that took the mystery away from that.  But, I have been locking her in the spare room and last night, something strange happened.  About half an hour after I locked her in there, I heard her scratching at our door again.  I thought I was dreaming, but then she actually got through our door and I knew it was real life, because she started scratching on our dresser.  I have no idea how she got through that other door.  It boggles my mind because that one actually latches.  Another mystery to figure out on another day.

I wanted to sleep in a lot this morning, but it's only Friday.  I don't let myself sleep in on the week days because that would be to easy.  It would send my life into a lazy downward spiral.  I only sleep in on the weekends, to give my life a little normalcy.

I did my regular stuff, worked out, did the dishes, folded laundry.  It was all very entertaining.  What's nice about the hockey season starting, is that a few teams today played over in Europe so their games were on in the morning and afternoon.  It gave me something to have on in the background while I cross-stitched.

I also looked up recipes for how on earth how to actually cook a turkey.  I know it's really not that hard, but it's my first one so I want to do as much research on it as possible.  We have hand made bread for the stuffing, which means we dried our own bread that we bought at the store and chopped it up nicely.  I'm really excited about making all this food.  It will be fun.  We are going to do a practice chocolate pie to make sure it turns out properly.  That way, if it gets ruined in any way, we can run to the store and get more ingredients.

Tomorrow will be a day of cleaning this place, making sure it is company ready.  Tyler is on call this weekend, so hopefully he gets lots of call backs.  Lots of banked hours so that our Christmas holiday wont be so moneyless.

Our Friday night so far has been filled with a new game we first played last night after the Oiler game.  We played something called, "Pen Hockey".  Basically the rules are, you use a pen and one of Kitty's koosh balls, and you play regular hockey.  We play in our hall.  I won last night, but today I wasn't so lucky.

Happy Friday! and a Merry Thanksgiving!
