Here’s the random update from my life:

• Went to my first NFL game last Sunday and surprisingly I loved it. It helped that we whooped Chicago and along the way caused 5 false starts. I might actually like this whole football thing.
• Craig left for India last Thursday for 3 months as he pursues his outsourcing business. You’d think I’d be used to my best friend always leaving town, but each time it happens there is a big void in my life. I already miss you bro.
• Work has been a bit crazy as we figure out our release strategy and form the product plan for our new product that is shipping next year.
• I leave for my 4 week trip in China and India in exactly 16 days and I haven’t really done any preparation for the trip. This is adding further stress at work since I have that much less time to get things in order before I leave.
• I have to scramble to make a dessert to bring to Thanksgiving dinner at Matt and Denise’s tonight. I found a recipe I want to make but realize I don’t own an electric mixer. God almighty.
• My sister is finally coming for a visit this weekend. I really wanted her to come for the entire long weekend, but alas, Canadians don’t celebrate turkey day on the same day as you Americans. I’m getting ready for a weekend of bonding, eating and laughing. My sister is the best.
• I just signed up for a model and lighting photography class in early December. It was $200, but I figure it’s worth it because (a) I’ll finally get some formal instruction and (b) class is only 8 people.

That’s all, I’m off to try to beg/borrow/steal an electric mixer for this cheery cheesecake recipe. Wish me luck.
