Happiness is...

being grateful.

Hmm, you may have noticed I haven't been quite as diligent as I had lead you to believe I would be. I'd like to say it's because I've been hard at work on my novel but mostly it's just that life, boring old life, has gotten in the way. Bleh!

So, here's my pathetic attempt at catching up on the last week's worth of entries...

nature

The ginormous poinsettia dwarfing our coffee table and mocking my lack of Christmas preparation

And apparently I'm out of storage space, so we'll have to pause while I figure out these technical difficulties...any pros out there?

Who knew this would be such a production?!

Written words

A card written in my grandmother's hand and passed down to me from my mother. I've traced the words at least twice as they've faded so they're probably now more mine than hers but I cherish them all the same. And they've brought me hope and comfort often throughout the years.

Favorite food

I have a friend who has introduced me to the wonders of Pie Day. In lieu of gorging yourself beyond all hope on Thanksgiving and then not having enough room to enjoy dessert, her family has claimed the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving as Pie Day, a day dedicated to the dessert and all its glory. She is out of the country this year so I took it upon myself to steal her tradition. I spent all day Saturday baking, decorated with quotes and images of pie, and invited a ton of people to share their own pies and the day. It was a success! We had over 15 different flavors and mmmm, were they delicious!!
