Good evening peeps! I hope you all had a great day!

My day stared out right with a family brunch at Smitty's.

I had coffee and OJ:

And then the eggs, bacon, and sausage from this plate ... and only 1/2 a pancake because they were hard and bland:

I spent the afternoon trying to work on my thesis - but it was painful, and I just wasn't feeling it. I figured out how to write my stats into my results section, and then wrote a couple of pages. I will do more tomorrow and Tuesday, and then hopefully I will be able to send a draft off.

I have no problem writing once I get into it, but I just was NOT into it today.

For dinner we went to hubby's parents home and had jambalaya:

I had a glass of crystal light with it:

My FIL wanted me to take a picture of the lovely cake he bought :-)

I am not a big cake person, but I tried 1 bite. I really liked the thick layer of chocolate ganache on top. Chocolate and me love each other.

We brought a special friend with us for dinner today! Our little nephew! He will be 3 in "Feburosy" as he told us tonight:

He had fun looking at flyers with uncle Chris and showing us what he wants for Christmas:

Every day that I spend with this little guy is the best day ever!!!!!!

Here is my to-do list for the week:

Monday - Work, write thesis
Tuesday - Work, finish 1st draft of thesis
Wednesday - Work, bake cookies, Christmas shop
Thursday - Work, shop with my dad for house stuff
Friday - Set up Christmas tree!!!
Saturday - 1st Christmas party of the season!!!!

So if I can make it past Tuesday, I am going to be one happy girl!

Do you make to-do lists?
I make all kinds of lists. I am a total list writing nerd.
