Highlights of the past week, in no particular order:

--Thanksgiving dinner turned out fabulous, thanks to my brand new stove.  I heart my Maytag appliances.
--I finally found an apple crumb pie recipe that is incredible.  Oh.  My.  God.  Incredible.  That kind of incredible.
--I ate my weight in turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing.  Oh, and pie.  Yummy cinnamony apple pie.
--Christmas shopping is underway.  Finally.  Thankfully.
--The Highly Selective Book Club With Only Two Members^(TM) chose a book for December.
--Bruch at the Jefferson Hotel is a decadent experience best reserved for a once-a-year event.
--I made pizza, Steve. 
--I lost about four inches of my hair.  If found, please do not return.
--I found the most amazing hand cream.
--NaNoWriMo finished without me.  Sad, sad.  Maybe next year.
--I braved the crowd on Black Friday and lived to tell about it.  I did not brave the crowd at 6 a.m., however.  I am not that insane.
--Christmas lights were hung from the roof with care.
--I now own a very cool train set that will soon be beneath my Christmas tree (when I get it, hopefully tomorrow). 
--Finding the perfect Nativity scene, however, remains an elusive goal.
--Sheri came and went and I want her back.  Sad me.
--I realized my to-do list for the month of December will require all of December and the first half of January to complete.

It’s been a nice little break from reality, but I guess it’s time to get back to work.  Somehow, I will survive December.  I suspect chocolate will be involved in my survival.  Lots o’ chocolate.  Donations welcome.
