Turkey Eve

Yay it's Turkey eve!
The day for seeing all of your friends and family and trying on your elastic waist pants.

I am joining up with Shanna for her second round of 'Random Wednesday'.

I found some really great blogs who had linked up last week so I suggest you get over there and check out all of the other awesome ladies.

1. I'm contemplating using the picture of Floyd at the table with us for our Christmas card.

Would that really make us those crazy dog people?

(see here if you don't know what I'm talking about)

2. I've done my fair share of baking already for Thanksgiving and I can not wait to dive into everything!

(Mister has already taste tested a little- he said it was only right, we wouldn't want to serve something that was bad.)
So far I've made a pumpkin roll (recipe from Kait), PW's Good Morning Muffins and we are currently on our 4th (in 2 weeks) batch of energy balls.

I am also going to make a derby pie for our second round of Thanksgiving meals.

(Is derby pie just a midwest thing? Do you know what I'm talking about?)

3. Who is going shopping on Friday?

We are definitely planning on braving the crowds.

I don't have anything particular that I am on the hunt for but I love being in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

4. Please read this article, you won't regret it.

'The Haters Guide to the Williams Sonoma Catalog'

6. This.

 I mean, there isn't even an explanation. He is just a total weirdo.

Gettin his lean on.

5. Seeing as it is Turkey Eve, I thought it was only right to talk about a few things I am so very thankful for this time of the year

-Family: my boys, my mom, my extended family, my in laws.

I am so thankful to be surrounded by such amazing people.

-Friends: I have an amazing set of girlfriends in my life and do not know what I would do without them.

 These ladies rock. 

 This means you too, my incredible blog friends, as well!

I love you ladies and never expected this blog community to be so welcoming and amazing.

I am so happy to have all of you friends in my life!

-Food and wine: I just really love to eat, cook and be in the kitchen.

And kitchen gadgets. Man, I love a good kitchen gadget.

-Holidays and traditions: I am always excited to reminisce about past holiday traditions and especially glad to start new ones this year at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

-My Job: I have the pleasure of working on some really cool projects and with very interesting products.

I have a very fun project we've been working on coming up to show you guys!

 I could go on and on (diet coke, shopping, sweatpants, ice cream...) BUT I'll stop for now.

I think that is about enough randomness for today!

Floyd and I are taking the rest of the week off to spend time with friends and family.

Follow along on Instagram (totalbassetcase) to keep up with what we are doing. 

Enjoy your Thanksgiving friends!!
