It's been a busy, but productive day. Dustyn's family is having Thanksgiving tomorrow. I have been cooking all day.
I started out making about 150 suckers. I made cinnamon, root beer, spearmint, raspberry, and butter rum. It was kinda fun! It was the first time that I have ever made suckers. I decided to make a treat for the class I am subbing next week and for Thanksgiving treats of course. They are shaped like turkeys and a leaf!
Next I made a Coconut Cream Pie, Banana Cream Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie, Pecan Pie, and a Pumpkin Cheesecake all from scratch. (except I cheated a bought pie crusts. Just too much to do!) I also made a Oreo striped dessert! YUM!
I also made Creamed Corn yesterday. It took around 6 hours to bake, so I had to make it early. But tonight I made Green Beans with almonds, onions and bacon and a vinegar type dressing. And swiss cheese green beans. I am excited to try them tomorrow!!
Of course we couldn't have Thanksgiving (or any family gathering for that matter) without Spinach Dip and French Bread. So I made that and cut up 4 loaves of French Bread. And some Olive/Cream Cheese Dip.
Can't forget the Ham/Egg/Cheese tortillas that I made for lunch! YUM!! (Yes, I ate ham!! But it was cooked well and covered in eggs, cheese and in a tortilla... otherwise I wouldn't have.)
Plus I had to make like 10 trips to Wal-Mart/Albertson's today! I even had lists!! Ha ha!! I'm a dork.
I did really well and kept up the dishes and kept the kitchen clean as I went along so it wouldn't be a huge deal to clean up afterwards... But the last little while I slacked off. Now I have a big mess in the kitchen and my feet just hurt too darn bad to go clean it. I would save it for tomorrow, but I still have to bake both pans of green beans, warm up the corn, whip the cream for the pies, and pack everything up plus go to church.
Dustyn has been busy today editing a video for a customer. It's been fun for him because it is a Church History Video.
Oh my!! I just remembered that I have not made my calendar/Newsletter copies for church tomorrow!! Sheesh, what a day!! I better run to the church and make copies!! Otherwise I might be in trouble!!
Off I go!! Goodnight!
oh yeah. Ignore my lame writing skills tonight. I am just too tired to think about it!!

You must be crazy... er, I mean incredible! How did you do it?! Hopefully you're getting lots of rest today! :)
Kamie, Kamie, Kamie. You never cease to amaze me.
Holy crap!!! That's a lot for just one day. WOW. You are my hero!!
You are such a trooper! This is my first time cooking for Thanksgiving, so I am kinda nervous. Again, you are my hero!
I just realized today that I have to do it all over again on Thanksgiving!! But I am okay with that! I enjoy it. We are still going to Dustyn's mom's house. She called today and Dustyn told her we would bring all the same stuff. But there won't be as many people there this time.
Wow! I wish you would come to our family Thanksgiving. I could never do all that food. I bet it was Yummy! I hope you had a good time. I hear you have to do it all over again for Dustyn's mom. Wow, what a job. She will be Thankful for it!
The last comment about comming to our Thanksgiving was me (mom). JaKell was just signed in our computer. Any, way it sounded like good food.
