Here I Am

Yoo hoo (waving my hand), I'm still here! Life has been busy this week. On Tuesday I had oral surgery under full-on anesthesia (a wonderful thing), we finally got around to having the backyard landscaped, we're getting ready for Thanksgiving and Molly's baptism next weekend, and I've been doing some Christmas shopping. The Christmas tree in Union Square was lit this weekend which struck me as a little early, but I've been hearing friends talk about already getting their trees up this week! Halloween was only 2.5 weeks ago! I need to get through November before I even begin to think about setting up decorations. And here I thought I was pretty slick for having half my shopping done.
