Wishful Thinking

Do you ever have those mornings where you wake up, see a beautiful sunrise, and think, "Today is going to be a great day." 

And then do those mornings ever turn into the worst mornings ever? Because that is what happened to me today. 

By the time we made it to school, I think everything might have been back to normal. But who knows? I am pretty sure I will be paying for therapy in the next ten years for at least one of my children.

We are working on blueline today, which means the December issue is all but finished. We are having a lunch for Kelly today, who will be on maternity leave for the next couple of months.  Now we get to anxiously await the arrival of baby H!

December

The November issues officially go in the mail today! There are a couple of things I really love in this issue. First, the cover story (along with the cover) is one of my favorite. I can't wait for everyone to see and read it. It might have been because it touched on a special memory with me, but I really enjoyed it. 

Second, the third annual Christmas gift guide is in the November issue! We moved it up from December to give everyone a little more time for shopping. Yes, I know it is really strange to think about Christmas when I rode my mule in a tank top yesterday and wore shorts to work - but it is coming! We have new products this year and I really think mule and donkey admirers are going to love them. 

The December deadline is next Thursday, November 1. Let us know if you would like to advertise - there is plenty of time to get everything in!
