Ten things make a list. This is a list.

10. It's December! That is...terrifying and amazing and lots of other things, but mostly, it's a huge relief, because I don't have anywhere to go for the rest of the year. Oh, I have a lot of local commitments, parties and appearances and a doll meet-up, but nothing that requires travel. I get to sleep in my own bed, snuggle my cats, and clean

1. 2 weekends ago, my purse was stolen from my shoulder by the driver of a moving vehicle in a grocery store parking lot. He almost hit my 10 year old in the process of getting close enough to me to pull that off. No one was injured, but my brand new bag, brand new wallet, all wallet junk, and my car keys (a $350 value, because they're "smart") were taken. Someone found my bag, which had a receipt with my name on it still inside, and contacted me via Facebook (hooray, unique names!). I was able to get the purse and my keys back this past weekend. So TIL: Always wear your purse strap cross-body; heroin is a hell of a drug - it makes almost smashing into children with a SUV a reasonable life choice.

2. My Texas born cats do not understand Wisconsin winters, and howl and cry and knock stuff over because they haven't been outside to murder things in entirely too long. When we finally relent and open the door for them, they stick a paw out into the snow and nope it right back inside -- only to forget and restart the entire process again an hour later. It's going to be a very long winter.

3. I cooked our turkey breast (there's only the 4 of us, so I don't do a full bird) in a crock pot this year, and it was AMAZING. A++ would prepare again.

...wow. I am so glad you and your kid are both okay!
