November is through, and how sad I am about this fact. I love November. The crisp air, leaves changing colors, Thanksgiving leftovers, pumpkin pie, making fires and staying in. Now comes December, the most hectic time of the year. Just the word "Christmas" brings on hives and an increased heart rate! I am so glad that our family chose to listen to my Secret Santa idea a few years ago because this has eased some of the craziness of frantic Christmas shopping. In spite of this anticipated chaos, I got quite a bit done in November:
1. Home study complete. Just waiting for the final report.
2. I participated in National November Novel Writing Month, and I wrote 68 pages of a novel! I didn't finish the novel, but that is neither here nor there.
3. I knit Daniel a new cap since I accidentally shrunk his last one.
4. I am halfway through a beret for my sister Sara (it may end up being mine...it's very cute)
5. I cooked many good meals this month! I also made my yearly Pasta Flora pie at my dad's request, and following in my grandmother's spirit, I refuse to post the recipe for the pie. It's a secret I will take to the grave (or urn).
6. I've been working a lot, and I haven't hated it. I've had some interesting and entertaining depositions lately that have given me a newfound appreciation for court reporting. I feel very blessed that I've had such a successful career. And our Christmas party is at Lake Chalet this year, and I heard there are going to be gondola rides!!! Hope nobody falls in the lake.
