♪ It's the Final Countdown! ♪

This short week is great and tomorrow will be fun because it won't feel like a normal class period. One student even volunteered to bring treats and he wasn't a person I would have imagined would offer or be interested in such behavior.

After work tomorrow, Austin and I are doing the big shopping run and putting the final touches on our cleaning. We will also get the potatoes assembled so they just have to bake and heat through. The green beans will be trimmed and the toasted hazlenut-lemon butter will be prepped so we just have to boil the beans and toss with the butter. Austin will also get the bird in the brine and get that going.

My sister and husband are bringing the squash and cranberries and my brother and fiancée are bringing hors d'oeuvres for later on (sadly, we actually do get hungry again). My mom is bringing dessert and a stuffed french toast breakfast casserole for the next morning. There will be eight of us total.

Then Thanksgiving will be over and it will be finals week and Christmas and 2007. It's all a blur from this point on...
