Thank you, Jenna!


Two awesome banners from another Jenna! 🙂


What’s everyone up to on the holiday? I hope you’re spending time with friends or loved ones.

I started the morning by catching the last bit of the parade after sleeping in.

Today’s second BK Turkey Day is going to play out something like this:

* Marathon of Supernatural

* Working on Chosen

* Cozy on the couch under blankets with tea and candles

* Reading PLL

Tonight’s dinner, since K can’t eat turkey, is Mexican! We’re doing taco bowls (aka taco salads) and we’re all very excited for our non-traditional meal.

Happy Turkey Day!

What’re you doing for Thanksgiving?

This week has been buuussy. BFF has been sick, I had a doctor appointment and have been doing a few Skype classroom visits. I’m still scheduling them with schools and book club, so if you want me to Skype with your school, have your teacher email me at jess_burkhart AT hotmail DOT com for details. I’ve meant so many members of Team Canterwood this week–it’s been a blast! 🙂

So glad you all have been enjoying SCANDALS. Now, I’m totally focused on January and am waiting until UNFRIENDLY COMPETITION comes out on the 4th. It’ll be a new year and time to let go of Sasha, in a way, and focus on the new lead character.

Okay, I’ve got to write 10-15 pages today to stay on schedule. Wish me luck! I haven’t opened the blog to comments in FOREVER because of past problems, so I’m going to open this post for you all to chat, if you like. I have to approve/reject comments so they won’t show up until I read them.

**Spoilers will be deleted!**

My question for you: What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

I’m having dinner with BFF and Ross.

Answer away–I want to know!

My Thanksgiving (almost) disasters

Leave a comment

I think I STILL have a turkey hangover. Seriously. I stuffed my face with cranberries, turkey and waaay too much other food. The day was great! I was pretty much banned from the kitchen cause I’m quite dangerous in that department.

I did, however, volunteer to make the cranberry sauce. Simple, right? Water. Cranberries. Sugar. Boil. Stir. I could do this! Wellll…after the water and sugar had boiled, I went to pour in the cranberries. While I poured, I rested the bag on the superhot pot rim. Yep, the poor bag started to melt. On my berries.

Mom was like, “Thank you! Feel free to go back to work now, hon.”

Ooookay.

And then…we were filling up our plates and I decided I needed to stick my sweet potatoes in the microwave for JUST a few seconds. I could handle the microwave. So, I put the plate inside, closed the door and my finger hovered over the time button.

Mom appeared. “WAIT! NOOOO! That’s a gold rim on that plate!!!”

Ohhh. Oops. Blowing up Mom’s fancy china would have been quite sad.

That ended my time in the kitchen.

Anyone have a Thanksgiving mishap to share?
