Happy Friday. I truly can not believe next week is Thanksgiving. November has flown by and we already had our first snow so I’m definitely ready to get in the holiday spirit. My body however is definitely not ready for frigid weather. All of the gift guides are up on the blog so check them out for lots of ideas at various price points. My promo codes are here and all are up to date. It’s going to be a very cold weekend here so our plans include staying warm and keeping cozy! Have a great weekend.
Wishing all of you a great weekend. Here’s the best of the week…

The article about Sober Living caught my eye . My beautiful son died of Alcoholism . I didn’t even know he drank other than a beer or two . I know that I’ve said this before but I have a love hate relationship with Alcohol. I do not believe I am in any way, shape or form an Alcoholic. I spent a lot of nights out drinking and dancing with my friends . I met and dated sone guys that turned out to drink a lot . I was done when I saw that . I attended Alanon because of a guy. It was short lived . I met my best girlfriend there . She was married to a man who drank for 35 years . I don’t take a drink anymore since Jeff died . I look at women who constantly have a cocktail in their hand day and night or they talk about drinks a lot. My own sister asks if it’s happy hour yet when she is stressed . She’s not Alcoholic. The thing is one must never tell anyone they are alcoholic. They must know it themselves and find their own solution . It’s a disease like diabetes . Sone people drink heavy and are not . Others have a few drinks daily and are problem drinkers . The thing I do know is you can die from it . I watched it happen to a handsome bright and Corporate High Level VP . I think the days I drank and did stupid stuff are over long ago . I like to be aware and not have something slipped in my drink. Yes it happened . It was awful beyond words . So yes , I had fun and yes I liked a slight high feeling once in my 30’s and 40’s as a newly single mom, but not now . Thanks for the article Jess . It was indeed an eye opener that a lot of people had my experience too . xo
