happy thanksgiving?

yes...thanksgiving...that time of the year that can only be described as the calm before the storm. the day before "black friday"...the real start of the christmas shopping rush. the day where the holiday baking scents start to whaff through the air. pumpkin pie...apple pie...stuffing...and, of course...the turkey. and, don't forget the scent of holiday candles. vanilla, cinnamon, pine and the various holiday food smells. the day where you can't help but have to use the oven to do your baking and cook the turkey. the day that, for me, has become a cooking no-no. for you see...while putting in a cupcake pan of leftover pumpkin pie batter...i burnt the tip of my ring finger on my right hand on the oven rack. just lovely. and, of course you know you can't go near anything real hot, like an oven w/ a burnt finger. luckily...my mom always takes care of the turkey and all the sides. but, i always help out and can't really 'cause i'm at the point where i have to keep my finger almost constantly in a very cold glass of water. i really can't do shit w/ my right hand. i'm right handed by the way. so, now i have to almost do everything w/ my left hand, including typing this post and using the mouse. very difficult...especially the mouse part. hopefully...whenever i get to sleep and wake back up...it won't hurt anymore. hope you all have a good thanksgiving!!! have fun stuffing your faces...it is officially the start of the holiday season!! ciao!!
