For the past 18 or so hours, I have spent most of my waking moments wearing an apron. And I think I liked it. Dad should be proud.
My eyes are STILL watering from slicing a bunch of shallots, but overall, I think I've done a pretty decent job cooking up some stuff for Thanksgiving. I made Cranberry Citrus Pomegranate Relish last night, and it tastes delish! Then I made "Judiciously Updated" Green Bean Casserole today. It probably took me double or triple the time a normal person would have needed, but I did it, all my fingers are intact, and barring any unforseen circumstances with the casserole in the oven or the transport to Mom and Dad's, things look pretty good.
And as far as things to be thankful for this year, aside from all of the obviously wonderful people I know, is that I had two really great (albeit LONG) interviews this week, both of which I have a strong feeling that I will be offered a position. I'm lucky to be in this position before I've even thrown my cap into the air and all that, and moving on to bigger and better things BEFORE Christmas is clearly quite appealing. Wish me luck, and I'm sure I'll need advice weighing my options in the next few weeks.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and PLEASE make sure to stuff yourselves silly, drink lots of good wine, have lots of good conversation, and make it home safely and happily. And be nice to all the retail employees you come across the next few days. ;)
