Thanksgiving

I had a lot of fun this Thanksgiving since its the first one we spent at our apartment. I thought we were going to spend it by ourselves, but we ended up inviting Denise's parents and grandmother over at the last minute. We had Rosemary Turkey with sweet potatoes, stuffing, various vegetables, biscuits, apple crisp, and pumpkin pie. I think this has been the only really big meal I've cooked since we got married. Well have to do it again sometime.

Today wasn't quite as much fun. I was originally scheduled to open the store this morning. On wednesday a coworker called and asked me to switch for an evening shift instead and I agreed to do it as long as our boss agreed. She called back a few hours later to say that the boss approved the switch. When I came in to work today, I found out that my coworker didn't even talk to the boss about it. My boss was upset that none of the three managers in the morning had worked on black friday before. I guess I should have guessed that my coworker lied to me.

Ouch. Reminds me of the dirty tricks managers would use to get checkers to stay long past midnight after their shifts were over.

Wow, your first Thanksgiving at home. Since we always go to Paul's family's house for Thanksgiving and yet I want to be able to do our own and have our own favorites and traditions, we've established the tradition for having our own Thanksgiving dinner the week or so after Thanksgiving. I've really enjoyed doing it that way....I get to pick what we eat on our day, and we get all the leftover turkey. This year was actually a pretty small gathering as three of Paul's siblings and their families were at the other grandparents house's, although two of them were close enough to come over for pie which was great.

Sounds like you had a good Thanksgiving at home- and rosemary Turkey sounds exceptionally yummy. We actually did like Bethany and bought ourselves a turkey so we could do our own dinner sometime... though who knows when that will happen. :)
