I've been a whirlwind this week. Highlights:
I've been working well into the wee hours almost every night, but I will indeed make my deadline tomorrow, even with a reasonable bedtime tonight.
I finally got the enclosures (driving and parking directions) printed up for Steph's Bat Mitzvah invitations. The Staples copy center person was really helpful, and I couldn't believe how cheap it was. The next step is to bring a fully loaded sample (envelope containing invitation, reply card and stamped envelope, and enclosure) to the post office to be weighed, then buy some pretty stamps.
Because I'm having "only" 17 people for Thanksgiving this year (instead of the previous high of 26), I decided to make only one turkey and also one whole breast. I've never done that before (thanks to Amy for the suggestion!), but it makes sense. So those are ordered, and I'm planning to buy all the non-perishable items tomorrow.
In the meantime, Andy was in New York on Monday and Tuesday and came home sick. He stayed home from work yesterday and today. Steph came home early from school Monday sick, stayed home Tuesday, and went in late Wednesday.
Then there was all the usual carpooling and other driving back-and-forth-ness, including going everywhere in search of a black skirt for Steph's chorus concert next week (so far: no dice)
Did I mention laundry? shopping? cleaning? cooking? 2 shifts at the school library? It's no wonder I forgot to shower one day and neglected to eat lunch the next.
'tis the season to be busy but I think you win the prize

How are you going to cook the turkey breast? I've only done a whole bird before and this year I'm doing just a breast for the first time.
