Just a couple of things...

I know that I told some of you that I'd be posting gift ideas soon. I still plan to, these last couple of weeks were so busy that I haven't had the chance. Keep an eye out though. I've been laying stuff out to work on before Christmas.

Today is my 14th Wedding Anniversary and I'm so thankful for my handsome, sweet hubby Tim! Even though I told him not to do anything for our anniversary, he took me out to see Twilight (and, no, HE hasn't read any of the books that I've been obsessed with recently!), to dinner at Carrabba's and even surprised me with a card and truffles from Godiva. He totally spoils me!

In case I don't post again before then, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! It seems like every year I have more and more to be grateful for (probably because I'm older than dirt! LOL!). Great friends, family and good health top my list this year, what about you?
