No, we ended up not going anywhere last weekend. Today, however, we are heading to Tibro so that I can cook Thanksgiving dinner all day and have a bunch of the in-laws over for dinner at 7pm. Yesterday I felt totally unprepared as I hadn't nailed down a menu yet. I got that straightened out, though, and then made a grocery shopping list. Now I have a game plan and feel much better!
By the way, happy December! It's currently -5C (23F) outside according to my phone. I can believe it since when I look out the window, all the cars in sight are completely frosted over. I will say one thing - my job has become somewhat of a mini version of cold hell since it got cold this week. The beginning of the week started off with 5 - 7 C (40s F) and that was totally fine. But now it's been hovering around the freezing mark and that hasn't been too fun at all. Plus with all the wind that this lovely town never seems to get rid of, I become an icicle out on my routes! Luckily I have some more appropriate clothes being ordered for me by my boss so I can be properly attired. Still, though, brrrr! I'm so happy it's the weekend and I get to cook a once a year, delicious meal today!
It is Christmas season though, and I see all the cute little julstakar going up in the windows in the neighborhood. Most homes have these in the windows under the Christmas season. You also have many julstjärnor (Christmas stars) being hung in the windows as well. I hope to convince J soon to get one, as I think they are so pretty! Soon enough we'll put up our lovely fake tree, too. Hooray for the holiday season! Come back soon, as I'm sure I will post some pictures of our delicious feast this evening!
