Thanksgiving was lovely. Ken and I hosted his folks and a couple of friends. The only glitch in the day was my setting the marshmellows on the sweet potatoes on fire. I know... That takes talent. There they were, toasting to perfection, then I spaced them and walked away, Came back, opened the oven door and there were actually flames. FLAMES! But it was all good, we all giggled and a larger issue was avoided. But, this will always be the year I set the dinner on fire. Who can blame me? There is just something about roasted marshmellows... Not buying it?
No sooner were we through with Turkey day, that we decided it would be a good day to try our luck at the most painful shopping experience a person can have. No, we did not go Black Friday shopping. Worse than that. We went... Car shopping. I will not bore you with the details other than to tell you that Honda West totally blew their chance to work with us, and as a result we purchased my brand new 2007 Honda Pilot from Shack Findlay Honda in the auto mall. It is PRETTY (she says purring) Deep Cherry Metallic with tan leather interior and all the bells and whistles. It is HUGE. I went from a 2 door civic coupe to a great big, behemoth 4 door 8 passenger Pilot. Yipppeee.... I LOVE IT!The long and short of it is that if you have CostCo membership and need to buy a car, use the car buying program! We negotiated a decent deal, but then they came along and saved us an additional $1100. Yay Cost Co!
Christmas shopping is well under way. Most of our friend shopping is done. All of our charitable shopping is done, and I am done shopping for Ken. All that is left are those darned holiday cards, and gifts for my work people and a few select others.
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas... (so sings the Jew.)

Ever since last week I have been thinking how nice your car is and how nice it would be to have one of my own! But considering I just got a new car not to long ago, that is not going to happen.
You sound like you are well on your way to being done for the holidays early this year!
See. I don't think it's looking like Christmas, but I'm from the Northeast and still expect snow this time of year. You'd think with this being my 9th Christmas here, I'd be past it.
The new ride is definitely sweet. But not as sweet as my wife.
Sweet car. With the internet nowadays, it makes it easier to navigate through the maze.
Great Thanksgiving memory. They only get better.
I usually burn the marshmellows as well.
The car is awesome, can't wait to go for a ride in it :)
I'm trying to convince my mother not to make the sweet potatoes any sweeter this year, so maybe I'll use this as a cautionary tale.
I can't wait to see the car!
Even if you set the marshmallows on fire, I'm sure the sweet potatoes were still fabulous. Because you are one helluva cook!

How special am I, my last comment appears three times? LOL
The car looks great! Good choice. That is pretty funny about the marshmellows. For some reason I've still been thinking what that might taste like.
