Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. I still feel full. Food is glorious.

My check for my first published writing piece came in the mail today. I’m quite excited, but not as excited as my mom who rushed through the house to deliver it to me and watched me open it and congratulated me enthusiastically. 

I half want to frame it… actually, no, just 10% because I really want to cash it and see my savings account double in size. So. Very. Tempted. to buy the Canon Rebel camera I’ve been drooling over… but it’ll go to much better use in Ashley’s Escape Western Mass fund. We shall see!

The holiday season is upon us. Exciting! 🙂
