Good luck Lacy, Jex, and Evangeline (ditto on that sweet tooth thing. I'm surprised that I barely ate any candy for Halloween).

Welcome to the group, Tiffany. I'm honored that you picked this as your first challenge :) Good luck!
Even though Thanksgiving isn't celebrated here, and my husband's Thanksgiving was last month (Canadians are in October), I might as well. ;) This month is also NaNoWriMo which will be occupying a fair bit of my time, so discretion being the better part of valour, time to set a reasonable goal. Having already knocked out 2 books in the past day and this morning (I had a lot of free time)...12/12
