Our weather has had a nasty turn. Cold, rain, ice, brr. Naturally, for the first time in months (August?) I am scheduled to open today. I would rather stay home, curl up in front of the fireplace and read a good typography book.

It has been fairly quiet here lately. C is busy with almost end of semester stuff (grading, whiny students, research, etc.). I had a job interview a couple of weeks back but nothing since then. Our fall has had more color than we are used to. I think all the rain earlier helped the trees hang onto their leaves long enough for them to actually change.

We will be having a quiet Thanksgiving at home with just us and our katties. The meal is mostly planned, all we need is a dessert of some kind.

Our budget is recovering from the unexpected expenses in October. I have been enjoying having money scheduled for specific events. Call me nuts (probably already do huh? :)), but I am looking forward to paying the car insurance in a few days. The money is in the account, its job is assigned and I just want it doing what I told it to do.

I am going to send C out on Black Friday to pick up all our Christmas stuffs. She Loves shopping in crowded stores at midnight. Actually, it is her idea of hell I suspect, but we do need to get out sometime next week and pick up the few things we need to pick up. We have already decided on our Christmas gift to each other (year park pass for TX), so we don't need to sneak around picking things up for each other.

I need to head off to work. Stay warmish.
