the title has been lost

After two years of keeping my crown as the Thanksgiving Monopoly champion, I have been dethroned. In a battle that raged from 1 in the afternoon to 9 at night, my title was taken. Paige systematically destroyed me. The title is rightfully hers. Paige, Penny and for that matter Abby (while she was playing) out played me. They had me on the ropes from the beginning. The only thing that kept me in long enough was Crystal somehow getting taken out early, and Abby loosing interest. So, all hail Paige, the current Thanksgiving Monopoly champion.

On other notes, life has been frantic traveling for presentations and juggling the different design studios. The season also keeps things busy, and this year it looks to be exceptionally so. I have been trying to fit writing into the small spaces of time, but have not done as much as I should. With all of the stress of my schedule, I think I am compromising taking care of myself. This is another matter that needs to be addressed. Today is the first day in a few weeks that I actually feel good. Sticking to healthy food and lots of tea and water for a while. Hopefully this will put things back on track.

Time to knock things off of the list.
