Friday afternoon

Weeeeeell, the turkey from last night is mostly gone.  We didn't eat on it at lunch today, though I am partial to cold turkey sandwiches.  Saving it for leftovers for tonight.  One of the downfalls of a big family is not having satisfactory leftovers the next day....unless it's something obnoxious like white beans or the like.  They don't go over well here afterward.

Was imagining how nice it'd be to buy a small-ish turkey today and roast it this afternoon.  Felt we needed to add to the paltry bit of turkey that's sitting in a plastic bag in the fridge.  There wasn't a thawed one in the store, and not even any whole dear little chickens.  Could've bought a rotisserie chicken, but it'd take two and that total out to eleven dollars, and I wasn't prepared to spend that.  Bought a package of bone-in chicken breasts instead, and they're in the oven as we speak.

Why am I telling you this?

Feeling pretty smooth, though with a bit of a caffeine-generated buzz.  I'm watching the sun go down from my bedroom window and trying to plan out 30 minutes before dinner to plant the flat of pansies/violas that's been sitting on the porch for a couple of weeks.  It's supposed to be darn cold this weekend....well, in the 30's overnights, and I need to get the flowers in the ground.

A nice, boring weekend ahead.  One of my favorite things.  Groceries in and not one darn thing pressing me to do.  Bliss.
