Thanksgiving is next week which means a short work week for me! Woohoo! I only have to work 2 1/2 days - awesome! The only bad thing about Thanksgiving is the overload of turkey. Turkey isn't really on my fav foods list .... it's ok - but a lot of turkey is dry and just doesn't taste very good in my opinion. Last year my parents did a deep-fried turkey and it was a little bit better -- more juicy -- so I'm hoping they do that again this year. We'll see. My cooking "to-do" list is pretty short: I am supposed to make a pumpkin roll. I made it last year and everybody loved it and so mom asked me to make it again this year. Last year I was responsible for ALL the desserts; that was pretty fun ... but kinda complicated baking everything up here and then driving it 3 hours to my sister-in-laws house. So this year - I have ONE thing to make - much easier. The pumpkin roll fits nicely in a little tupperware container I have for bread - so I'm all set (as long as my oven doesn't spazz out on me, that is.)
I've been feeling a bit under the weather this week ... hence the no blogging. I've also had a busy week getting together a test site for one of my newer 'strawberry' clients -- WORD Music, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers. I'm doing an email newsletter design for them ... and it's finally starting to come together after a few months of working on graphics and content. My final final deadline is December 31 .. because they want to email this out to literally about half a million people on January 1. It will be exciting to work through these next few weeks and maybe I'll get a few new clients out of the exposure I'll get.
I think I've mentioned this site on here before ... but I just wanted to reiterate how awesome it is. SCOOPME.COM. Basically they do articles on weekly TV show episodes. Really well-written, and sometimes thought-provoking articles. I NEVER miss reading their Buffy page after a new episode. They also have awesome message boards. Some of the people on the boards might have a bit too much spare time and theorize WAY too much about stuff .... but for the most part - it's interesting to read. Check it out .... they do summaries/articles on almost every single TV show and lots of movies too!!
