Gobble! Gobble! Happy Monday

From the looks of the joyful turkey, it must be a holiday week! Yay! It’ll be a short week if you have a cushy job, and a very long Friday if you work retail. Most of us will fall somewhere in between, yet we all need to get those turkeys thawing if we want to have any hope of calling the drumstick on Thursday!
