Yep, my November is very full as well. Work M-Fr every week - then helping at my sister's shop every Saturday as she has classes. Also involved in local theater - working in the box office on at least one weekend - then hosting my families Thanksgiving get together on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
My DH and I are planning a quiet day on Thanksgiving itself to unwind and watch the Lions-Packers game. Who knows what else will crop up before the month actually arrives.
