Excluding the fact that it is the month of Mr. Wonderful's birth, I truly hate November. It is a grey, chilly, depressing month. The leaves are gone, but the snows has not come yet. It gets dark early, but it's still not cold enough to have an excuse to stay inside to keep warm.

I feel blue in November. I feel especially blue today. Notwithstanding an explosive email we received from our director telling us she may leave because of 'feedback' she received - I feel like I am floating in and out of my office. I daydream and think about... well, nothing really. I do some small tasks here and there, but generally I feel like I'd rather be anywhere else.

After several years of November-o-phobia, I've decided the best strategy is to mentally skip over November and turn to December. Ah, December, the most exciting month of the year. December is full of 2 birthdays, 1 anniversary, and, of course, the Big One, itself.

So, thouugh I am not entirely out of financial ruin, I consider myself to be in a much better situation than this time last year. This means that I am opening the floor to Wish Lists. Anyone?

Does anyone have any exciting plans for Christmas this year? I will be spending time with my family, especially my sister, who will be coming down for the holidays. Unfortunately, MW will be working over the holidays, so there will be no yule log for me, if you get my drift. And no figgy pudding for him.
