Hmm, hello

Wow, it's been a month since I posted? I didn't think it's been that long! But with returning from vacation and being swamped at work (I feel like I've been sprinting for a month), the fun New Hope fundraiser, and the election, I'm just now breathing again.

Right now I'm backing up my almost-full Mac to a backup hard drive, watching college football and waiting for the Cal/Stanford game, and enjoying the great SoCal imitation weather-wise that Oakland is pulling off. Yey sun, yey warmth!

Mitch and Nora are still awesomely adorable. Nora is heating herself on the windowsill while Mitch is cleaning his fur while curled between polar bear, my red curtain, and the warm cream flannel blanket.

Things that are in heaven: Ben & Jerry's ice cream, football, cats specifically Mitch, Nora, Frisky, Pancakes, and Waffles, peppermint, and gingerbread houses. That's what I know for sure, there may be more things. Your thoughts?

I decorated my little place with Christmas lights, Christmas musical snowglobe, and my tree skirt folded into a runner/cover. I feel excited about the holidays this year. And my favorite flavor of all time is peppermint which comes out from spring and summer hiding to re-debut in winter. Bring it on, peppermint! Come on out and play. And I love gingerbread houses - light up ones, snowglobe ones, make-it-yourself ones. Anyone want to make one with me?

Enjoy Thanksgiving everyone and have a wonderful time being grateful for your life, friends, and family :)
