1. Yes. I am almost done with everyone, but DH and Allie.
2a. I have a few things going on. On the 18th we are having a Thanksgiving dinner for DH's coworkers who have no family here. We started this last year and plan to continue to do it. Thanksgiving day we will go to Rome, GA to have dinner with my cousins. We will hit the road from there and spend the next few days in the Nashville area with family and friends.
3. I am not really sure how much we get in GA. Last year no snow. It started sleeting a little yesterday and everyone went ape shit.
4. Aruba for a girls trip and possibly Texas, if SIL doesn't move here.
5. My job starting back up full force. I love working, but I love not working.

1. Have you started your holiday shopping?: I have not started shopping yet.
2a. (for our US friends) Any big plans for Thanksgiving? - We're driving to the ILs for Thanksgiving, so we should have a good time with family.
2b. (for our non-Us friends) Any big plans for November?
3. How much snow does your area typically get?: An inch or two 0-2x per year, but mostly we get ice.
4. Any big vacations planned for next year?: I don't think we'll be planning any for next year (besides possibly visiting my mom in Vegas, which we're also doing for Christmas this year), since we'll be in the midst of adoption/homestudy paperwork, etc. and my last semester of grad school in the first half of the year.
5. What are you looking forward to the most in 2013?: our adoption process starting!!

1. Have you started your holiday shopping?
No, but I have started holiday knitting.

2a. (for our US friends) Any big plans for Thanksgiving?
I'll be working the thanksgiving sale and black friday. I'm stuck here because our families are 2.5hrs away.

3. How much snow does your area typically get?
Not very much; usually only a couple of inches at a time, and maybe 4-5 times over the entire winter. Occasionally though we get awesome blizzards and/or ice storms. I really hope we get one this year.

4. Any big vacations planned for next year?
I feel like DH and I need to go on vacay because we've worked so hard on paying off our debt, but we can't agree on a destination.

5. What are you looking forward to the most in 2013?
Working 2 jobs just to hoard savings rather than because I have to to pay off debt.
