Talking Turkey & Help Me Please
I wish I had some great Thanksgiving stories. However, we normally end up going to somebody elses house for Thanksgiving, so I dont’ have to cook. Ever. Honestly, it is nice. However, this year my parents are coming here for Thanksgiving, so I have to cook my own dinner (with some help from my mom I hope! Though she won’t be coming up till Thanksgiving day itself, so I may not have as much help as I’d like! They are coming here so I have some company doing some Black Friday shopping (though my mom is refusing to go stand outside at Best Buy at 3 am. Yes, I am that dedicated. LOL)
I have a feeling this Thanksgiving I will have a ton of material to post about regarding my experience. I don’t think Bill and I have ever made a real turkey by ourselves. That is why its nice to know that Butterball has a Turkey Talk-Line. You can call 1-800-BUTTERBALL and talk to their meal preparation experts (writing that phone number down myself), or you can visit Butterball.com for Web chats with a few bloggers – Chris Jordan (Notes from the Trenches), Susan Wagner (Friday Playdate), and Roxanna (Miguelina) on November 11, 18 and 25 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. CST. They will answer all your turkey related questions. Now, if any of you have any advice for me, I’ll gladly take it. We just won’t tell anyone.

Catching Up
I have been slowly but surely catching up this week. I am finally able to read in my paper about the flooding that occurred while I was gone to Izeafest. It is pretty scary. My own backyard had water deep enough that it went to almost my knees. All I can say is that I am so glad we paid a waterproofing company to come in and fix my basement. I know our old sump pump never would have been able to keep up either. For three days straight, we listened to it go off every 30 seconds. However, a lot of people were not as lucky as us. I know in Chicago, Evergreen Park, and several other suburbs they have had to look into a water restoration company. These companies come in help you with the water cleanup and mold removal. I know too well how stressful it can be when you watching your basement fill with water (two years ago we had it happen here). I know we were watching here this last weekend. We would have lost a lot if my basement leaked and that what companies like that are here for.
