Having a nice Thanksgiving week. With the exception of eating more than I intended, things are going according to plan.
I have found the success to my Thanksgiving meal is in the prep. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful holiday.

This morning, I was in a great mood because I was expecting a package containing my new 9WEST Magnett Knee High Slouch Boots in Dark Brown that I ordered on Wednesday. In total I paid about $65 (credit card rewards, coupon discount, 50% off sale) for boots that were selling for $169 at department stores.
That said I was in a great mood this morning until I learned someone used a bank debit card without authorization. I spent about 10 minutes insuring I had all the information I needed for the 30 minute phone call (mostly waiting for a customer service rep) to the bank. Someone used the card to pay $16.11 at a movie theater in Dallas, TX. The bank was very responsive in processing all of the needed actions to correct the problem. The bank rep asked if I called the police. Is that normal?
After I finished with the call to the bank, I did my hair and makeup so I could try on my new boots with different styles.
I am very happy with my new boots, however not that happy with the photos
and videos I shot modeling the outfits. Decided to use only some of the
photos.
I justified the purchase of the boots- because I often wear my brown suede jacket and the price was good. The problem? Because I am losing weight the jacket is now a little big.

Life has been moving along. Mostly I have been preparing for a birthday and the holidays. Spending this year is not as much as in recent years, however thinking it will be a nice holiday season in any case.
Went out on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 and decided to wear a pair of 9West over
the knee boots I have never worn. Paired the boots with a long black wool
skirt, black v-neck tie blouse, and the brown sweater I have been using a lot
lately.
I am loving the new OttLite LED Wellness lamps placed in different locations around the house.
Recently, replaced the banker's lamp on my desk with one of the newly
purchased lamps.
Also taking photos of the Fall foliage in our area.
Still working on my diet, however, as noted, worried about how much I love holiday foods. Also wanted to update the progress on the new planting. Hope your holiday plans are going well.

As I lose more weight, I have been trying on more of my older clothing items. This weekend it was some of the dress coats I used to wear with business suits.
As shown in the top photo, I put on a long turtleneck dress and a pair of 9West black suede boots to shoot photos.
I miss dressing to go to the office everyday and now that things are beginning to fit again, I really miss dressing for the office. That said, I do not miss the dry cleaning bills.
