17-27

Day 17-I don't have a brother, only a younger sister, but if I could pick one person to be my older brother it would be my friend Matt.  He's pretty much amazing! 

Day 18-Pumpkin ice cream, enough said!

Day 19-An easy 7.5 hour work day before a few days off for Thanksgiving.

Day 20-The weather last Tuesday was gorgeous!  My friend Jody and I rode our horses outside, for what may be the last time for a few months. 

Day 21-Pay Day!

Day 22-My in-laws are great people!  They are always up for trying new recipes and playing a round or two of Catch Phrase.

Day 23-The retail employee's who work Black Friday! 

Day 24-My sister-in-law Jennifer.  I love watching her interact with Matt... She still calls him by his childhood nickname, Macko.  I'm not sure where it comes from, but I think it's cool that it's stuck for so long.

Day 25-Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman.  Okay, so I might be a bit obsessed with her... I read her blog, make her recipes, have one cookbook and am hopeful that I get the second one for Christmas and Matt and I both watch her TV show every Saturday.  I made two of her squash recipes for Thanksgiving this year and they were both dynamite!

Day 26-Yesterday afternoon I started decorating for Christmas and I couldn't resist putting in ELF!  Actually I did the 'eenie meeny miny mo' thing to help choose between White Christmas and ELF... Will Farrel is hysterical in this movie and I could probably recite the whole dang movie if I wanted to!  A while back I had this movie with me on a plane and kind of forgot that just because people couldn't hear the actual movie because I had headphones in, didn't mean they couldn't hear me giggling at all the funny scenes!  Oppsies!

Day 27-Today, I'm thankful for the electric hot water kettle we have at the office!  The boss likes the office pretty cool and hot tea helps keep away the chills.
