It is inevitable. I don’t know if I ever have a shopping trip where I don’t forget something. Like my recent excursion to the scrapbook store where I was going to buy more of that paper for the layout I showed you I want to fix. I bought plenty of stuff. Forget to look for the much needed paper.
So I’ll be heading out to the store tonight, the eve of Thanksgiving, to venture among the last minute shoppers and the few items remaining. I’m sure they’ll still have whipped cream. Right?
I get to make pies for the big family gathering every year. I love making pies for Thanksgiving. Once in a while I prepare a vegetable dish, as well, if I don’t think the vegetables are going to have a fair showing that year. But what I really love to make are the pies. I always make pumpkin, banana cream, and apple. I’d like to add a fourth one to the list. We’ll just see how many I am able to finish today before I commit. I refuse to compromise on my exercising tomorow morning. So if it comes between making a fourth pie and getting a good run in, I’ll choose running.
In fact, today my kids’ school is having a Turkey Trot. I’ll be trotting with my eight-year old around the perimeter of the entire school, and then I’ll do it again when my six-year old has her turn. Awesome! I gave myself a little 15 minute run on the treadmill earlier, just in case the “trot” is not quite enough. I’ll spend the second half of the day in pie-baking bliss.
