Posting This Here, But I Need to Move Away from the Deliciousness of Holiday Bourbon Maple Pecan Bars Because They're Just Too Good

I owe it all to Kaitlyn Marie. I requested the bourbon maple pecan bars, but didn't intend for them to be leftover at my house to pick at every time I walk through the kitchen. I sent Pam home with a few bars, and she gave them back last night as we ate mashed potatoes and a chuck roast sandwich she read about online. Damn, those are good and my guts can't handle such luxury.

Chitunga and Lys did a road trip to New London & Mystic for the night, so I simply stayed back and worked on computer projects while continuing to clean from the holiday gathering. Of course, there was a great football game to watch - Syracuse defeating University of Miami (an upset, indeed, but also a return to the 'cuse having winning seasons and possibilities. It's been much too long. What a game. 

I do love setting my house up with the lights, as unwinding in the evening is that much better (this photo with Lys, Chitunga, and Karal chilling on the couch the night before. It simply makes Mt. Pleasant feel that much more like home.

Last night, I found a couple volleyball gams to watch and chose to simply enjoy the evening and quiet house. Chitunga returns to Iowa on Tuesday, and I wish she simply could stay home through the month until Christmas gatherings are over.

And the temperatures have dropped. I perused the week ahead and thought, "Jeepers, looks like the winter season is upon us." At least there's not the snow squalls that upstate New York are receiving. Did Watertown really get almost six feet of snow? Ugh. Keep it up that way. I don't miss that at all. 

Now, what are the odds I can do a salad-only diet until the food shenanigans arrive with the stockings. Happy Sunday, all. I hope you are finding comfort wherever you are. Just like that...it's another December 1st.
