IT DOESN'T GOBBLE, BUT A CLUCK IS GOOD TOO
Ever since Christmas dinner at my sister Brenda's, I've been frothing at the mouth for turkey dinner leftovers..... 
By now, some of you may have already had THREE turkey dinners in a row........ and if you've ALSO had turkey sammiches for lunches, then the way I figure it, you could already be FIVE WHOLE turkey meals ahead of me!!! So if you're already sick of the gobbler, then go park your butt in front of a salad or something, cuz you may not want to hear me whine about this! LOL I can still taste the gravy and mashed potatoes like it was just yesterday....... mmmmm..... and that's just the dinner, what about all the baked goodies that she had there too??? Having Christmas dinner at someone else's house SUCKS. You get a "tease" and then you have to go home and try not to think about the leftovers that are in THEIR fridge, calling to you day and night........ getting eaten up by some other lucky schmuck! Well. I know how to fix that, you see. For New Years, I'M having a turkey dinner at MY house, and I'M going to have all the leftovers HERE in MY fridge!! 
And my sister Pam, who lives downstairs, has this week off and she's even going to do a little baking! AND...... she's also going to make my favourite soup in the whole wide world ~~ BORSCHT!! And if I do say so myself, she makes the best borscht I've ever had too! So, yeah I might be lamenting and whining right now, but come Sunday, I'll be swan diving into the good stuff for a few days. 
Tonight, as I was feeling so turkey-less, it suddenly occured to me that I have something in my freezer that my bestest pal Michele gave me last week ~ her home-made chicken fingers! And let me tell you, you can't BUY them as good as she makes them. So I gots me a huge grin on my face and went to my freezer and kissed the frozen little suckers before I microwaved them ~ thanks pal, I had a great dinner tonight because of you! No it isn't turkey with trimmings, but the cluck was just as fine as the gobble anyway! 
Okay all you turkey'd out peeps, you can come back now............!
It was a weird time this Christmas in some ways ~~ it seems like all of North America has the flu in one shape or form, doesn't it?? The two other people in my house, my hubby and my sis Pam, are still sick too. Hubby is feeling better again today, but it's been coming and going with him, and it hits him hard off and on. And my friend Tina in Ohio has been ill with an infection (not flu-related) that's been very serious, so she's had to cut back on doing anything at all for the holiday, where usually she's a baking, cleaning, cooking cyclone. And another friend in Ohio, Debs, has been snowed in so badly that they couldn't go anywhere to a)celebrate Christmas with family, or b)get anywhere for groceries so they could have their own Christmas dinner. And my sista friend Janna in NYC has been so very sick that she ended up spending Christmas all alone in her apartment.......now THAT made me almost cry!!! I feel like even though she's thousands of miles away, I SHOULDA BEEN THERE FOR HER!!
(obviously impossible, but just the same I felt so helpless) So yeah, it's been a strange one. To all of you who are ill, I wish you healing Angels by your sides!! And for snowed in Debs...... I wish you an early spring girl!
So it's back to work tomorrow for me..... hubby has tomorrow off yet before he goes back, and sis Pam has the week off, as I said earlier. But I can't complain, I only do 3 days a week now anyway, so I only have to do 2 this week and next week because of the Monday holidays. And on Thursday our sis Linda will be here, so I'm really looking forward to that! And Thursday happens to be her birthday too, so Pam and I are planning stuff........ heh heh. She'll be Queen for the day!
(bless you!)
Well everyone, I guess that's about it for this time ~ and I suppose I should think about getting stuff ready for work tomorrow. So it's off to bed at a decent hour for me, and hopefully the chain saw I sleep next to will be out of gas tonight, LOL Catch you all later ~~ PEACE!
