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.

thanks

The turkey is happily roasting in the oven and the parade is in full swing in New York and I am trying to slow my pace down and enjoy every minute with my family. They have all gone their separate ways momentarily to get clean and dressed before the annual monopoly marathon begins. Paige has been trash talking so heavily about her future win that I am predicting she will be blown out of the water early. Crystal had such a poor outing last year that she is looking for revenge and a chance to save her tarnished reputation as the raining Thanksgiving day monopoly champion.

I am so thankful for all that I have. All the best to everyone on this wonderful day.
