Phew, gotta take a rest from cooking. Woo hoo, it's wednesday, the weekend!

I haven't smoked since Saturday night! I'm happy. The craving is always there but I try to ignore it. I am also proud that I made it through a grocery store shopping trip without smoking when I got home. I chewed the hell out of a piece of gum so much that one side of my teeth hurt and I pulled out a filling of the other side. Even though the SCREAMING BRATS in the store I didin't smoke! YAY YAY, patting myself on the back for that one.

I'm cooking a few things today, so far I've cooked 2 home made from scratch pumpkin pies, cranberry sauce from scratch, a dozen deviled eggs, DH did the turkey injection thing so it can sit overnight, plus the kitchen is all cleaned up! Home made from scratch tastes SO much better than stuff that comes from boxes, cans and jars and this is one of the few meals that I LOVE to cook from scratch.

I put the turkey in the bathtub last night to finish thawing out and one of our cats followed me but she ran out when she heard the water running. I went back in later to flip the turkey over and she came running in, jumped up on the side of the tub and fell right in the bathtub then tried to climb up the side of the tub which made her slip back down in and get all wet. She then jumped out and shot like a flash and shook herself off. YES I know it was wrong to laugh, but it happened so fast and it was funny and NO she did NOT get hurt, just her pride was hurt and she was so upset that she got wet. She crawled under the bed where she stayed the rest of the night.
