[disclosure] I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and found everything they wanted on Black Friday! The holidays are now in full swing. I love this time of year – family, friends, food, and everything! Especially the cookies…yum!

Self-Analysis: Scary but Good for You
[disclosure] Happy Friday! Happy November! I hope everyone survived Halloween and are quietly plowing into their candy stashes. LOL Here it stormed for most of the day on Halloween. I decided not to buy my typical bounty of candy this year because: last year, no one came, and we still have candy from last year –no one is eating it! and the weather was questionable – who would be out and about?
