I'm back! Sorry to have been gone for so long. Sort of got swept up by the holidays and work of all things. I don't even know where to start to try and catch up. Here is a short summary of the last few weeks:
Thanksgiving: As always, my mom makes the best meal ever. This year's turkey topped off at 29.2 pounds. We had all the fixings, 4 pies and my dad's Brandy Alexanders. It was a perfect day.
Day after Thanksgiving Traditionally, my mom, aunt, sister and I go shopping on this day. This year was no exception. We braved the crowds, avoided the sales rack cat fights and had a lot of fun. It was a good start to the season.
With Thanksgiving out of the way, it's been full blown Christmas-mode ever since. I have spent the last few days cleaning and decorating for my Christmas Cocktail party. It should be a fun time -- good food, good drinks and great friends. I have been planning and decorating and prepping like a mad-woman. Only drama is that I am currently the storage unit for my friends' wedding gifts. It is looking like the boxes may form another buffet table.
