With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I'm realizing I've got to get myself in gear! How are you about preparing for a big holiday? Are you organized and buy early with a well crafted list of things to do long before the big day? Or are you a last minute shopper, with your list tucked somewhere inside your head?

I think I'm somewhere in between. About two weeks before the event, I write up a preliminary list of things I need to get. Every time I go to the supermarket I look for a few things, most importantly, the turkey! And then a few days before the holiday, I realize I didn't get everything I need, so now I start running in and out of stores, scrambling to find my last minute items!

But when all is said and done, somehow, some way, it all gets done. So one of the things I'll be thankful for this Thanksgiving is pulling off the holiday dinner, even if it was a challenge to get there!
