Campbell's Soup is running their Click for Cans promotion again this year.

This year, one NFL team will earn a donation of Campbell's® soup to the food bank of its choice. How much soup? We'll get the official stats for all the players on the winning team's official roster and donate one can for every pound the total team weighs! So far, the Green Bay Packers remain the undefeated Click for Cans champs – will they stay on top, or will they get a run for their money this year? It's up to you!

Don't be discouraged if your team doesn't get the most clicks. The team that improves the most in the number of clicks from last year will also receive a donation! We'll donate 2006 cans on behalf of the team that shows the most improvement in the number of clicks from last year.

Each day you can vote for your favorite NFL team (Go Broncos!). There's still 31 days left in the competition, so head over there and VOTE!

Since I'm in the middle of making my Thanksgiving shopping list (Dad and I are heading out tomorrow to start procuring foodstuffs), here are:

Thirteen Foods for My Thanksgiving Feast

1. Turkey - We always get the biggest one they have so that we'll have plenty for leftovers.
2. Mashed Potatoes and Gravy - No boxed ones here. I make real, skin-on mashed potatoes. Yum!
3. Broccoli and Cauliflower with cheese sauce
4. Corn
5. Shrimp Stuffing - I use a recipe from Kellogg's. Finding the Kellogg's stuffing is the hardest part of shopping every year. The last two years they've had it at Kmart. I hope they still carry it because it's YUMMY and just doesn't taste the same with any other mix.
6. Crescent Rolls - It's become a tradition to have these.
7. Cranberry Sauce - This year I want to try a recipe posted on Artistic-Array for an Orange Cranberry Sauce.
8. Corn Muffins I don't always make these, but I really like them.
9. Pumpkin Pie - I love making them from scratch, but if I'm in a time crunch, premade from King Soopers aren't too bad!
10. Apple Pie - Dad loves his apple pie.
11. Cheesecake - I've said it before and I'll say it again. I make an AWESOME cheesecake.
12. Egg Nog - We don't do the alcoholic kind...just the carton stuff. I can't take much of it, though.
13. Canned Peas - Marcus really likes peas, but they have to be canned, not frozen or fresh. I always make a can just for him.

I have tried to keep an open mind about this season of Gilmore Girls, but after tonight's episode, I am officially pissed! I know they need drama and angst, but I am truly disappointed in what the writers have done with this show. I'll watch to the end, but I am not thrilled. In fact, I almost can't wait for it to be over and done with. I'd rant about what my problems with the plot are, but I don't feel like doing the whole spoiler alert thing right now.

On a happier note, Medium is back on with a two hour premiere tomorrow night. Yay!

I can't find anything online to link to, but the Wendy's by where we work is giving away small Frostys when you buy a meal. It's supposed to be going on all week. If I find anything to link to, I'll revise this.

OK, I'm feeling much better than yesterday. In addition to feeling kind of stupid, I felt a little sick, as well. I got plenty of rest yesterday, went to bed rather early for me and felt loads better today. So much so that I was really in a cleaning mood this morning. I was a little sad that I had to go to work because I really wished I could've taken advantage of it. Oh, well. Marcus smarted off that it was because I hate my job already. Quite the contrary. Anyway, I'm here at the old workplace helping Marcus rearrange and clean up his office. Looks like a tornado hit it. lol I hope some of the cleaning mood is around by the time I get home.
