reaching the end

Tomorrow is the first day of December. Making the end of November, near end of the year, rent is due, christmas will be all over the place, and "best of 2009" list for everything. I am working on my list right now BTW, that's "by the way" the way the cool kids say it... maybe. This December is going to be a gnarly one. We are planning on trips to see both families while still having christmas day all by ourselves. Sounds like a hybrid of Ebenezer Scrooge and the movie four Christmases. I think we may be able to pull it off. Just to get a head start we put up our Huge tree.
