OMG I can't believe the month is already over! And yes, I plan to take a break. I'm a bit burned out by this challenge and I surprisingly stuck to it! I was determined though. Anyway, I want to go over the HIGHLIGHTS of my month!
The leaves turning! - Gosh, it's such a small time frame so I'm happy!
Planning a Bubble Blast! (even though it got canceled due to weather issues)
My sister visits! - she brought her boyfriend along but we didn't need him for sister moments!
This song from my Things I love Tuesday! (I discovered it when making a mix cd for the bubble blast)
The text blog meme! - I got reactions from it that I didn't think anyone would care about! haha I was just being honest, guys.
Seeing (and photo-ing) Rod's game! - Tom did too!
Giving thanks on Thanksgiving! - in addition to my weekly TiLTs!
Thanksgiving! - Sweet Potato pie! Yam casserole!
Those are my highlights from this month, I would include when I figured out my math wasn't right today! But I won't. It's not necessary, but I'm glad it's over because I don't think I could keep posting every single day forever! haha It's been real! Goodnight! But it was an interesting exercise, it gave me a few ideas but I'm mostly just wore out. It's definitely more fun blogging "when you want to" as opposed to being forced to! Maybe one year I'll blog for a charity? ....WHO KNOWS! :D
What have you cut back on to save money this year?
I cut back on buying things I don't need and doing okay. Definitely not perfect but I'm trying to scrap my money together and get gifts for my family and friends.
On a side note: I double counted on day and technically I'm supposed to be on day 28! but I counted 14 twice! I tried fixing it but I feel like that won't be helpful and now some other number is double counted. It's just too many days to go through. UGH! But I am a day off on the NaBloPoMo since I started November 2nd.
I enjoyed my Thanksgiving, I am a bit sorry I didn't document it they way I do but I wanted to enjoy it, really. I gotta go to Raleigh today--later!
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks. What are you thankful for today?
Boyfriend! He's my true friend and we never argue. I never thought I would find someone that I just clicked well with and understood and loved at all times. You just don't think it actually exists. I have to give thanks to that first because it's so easy to take forgranted because we are with each other most of the time. But no one makes me laugh as hard as he does.
Sweet Potatoes & Yams! I love sweet potatoes, I love all kinds. Just baking them and eating them with a little margarine (since straight butter kills my intestines, sillies!) is the best! Today is sweet potato love day! You get sweet potato pie, yam/sweet potato casserole. GOD I dream about sweet potato happiness day! (also known as Thanksgiving!)
Prepared Visits! I love that I've been able the last two trips to keep up with the house before we leave to come down to the coast. I've been so thankful for that because I have a difficult time keeping up with the house between work days. It becomes overwhelming sometimes. So happy about keeping up with that.
Online Profile Conquering! Gosh I spent the time to clear out my profiles, doing them the way I want and going through friend requests and online messages and blah! I'm done! YAY!
Flickr! I paid for a flickr account and it's just so nice. :) Thanks for being easy! (hah)
Friends & Family! I don't want to forget this but I get to spend my day with my good friend who I don't see a lot and the family, and I just feel lucky I get to spend it with anyone. I spent one Thanksgiving alone and it sucks! You don't know how much it sucks until you do it. So..I'm just thankful for that.
Basketball! This is random but I'm thankful that every year since I've been blogging, we've gone and seen Tom's nephew, Rod play at Dixon since 2006! How neat is that to know?? And my links go from present to past and if you want to see my Thanksgiving every year click the "thanksgiving" tag.
Anyway, that's my list and my daily NaBloPoMo blog, I was going to try to take photos throughout my day and post them by the end of the day but I think I would be putting too much pressure on myself and I don't want to do that on a day I'm supposed to spend with people! So this is my "HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!" entry.
Be safe, be full and enjoy the day!
Sprinkles! I love the sound of gentle rain on the roof when it's absolutely quiet in a house. It's just so so nice to hear, but it never lasts long so you have to enjoy it while you can!
Thanksgiving! I can not wait to have yummy food (Sweet potato holiday! YAY!) and hang out and photograph. I don't know why I'm so psyched about it, I think it's just a holiday bug I caught recently when I bought the Christmas tree.
Bettie Page! I've been a fan of her pin up modeling and well, I came across this interview and just liked her input. I also finally heard she was 27 when she started modeling! Crazy. But I watched all these little videos and they're all cute. I've never really watched any of her videos.
SO Delicious! These soy ice cream sandwiches are so good! I had Tofutti Cuties and I had never had them before and would NEVER buy them again! They have a horrible aftertaste. SO Delicious is really good I recommend this brand. They also make a line of great ice cream called Purely Decadent.
Phone off! I like not having my phone on, strangely enough, it saves on my battery and saves on stress! I enjoy just walking away from real life for a few days!
Exercise! I enjoy exercising when I take a week off because I get sore again. It's a rare feeling when you start to build up an abdominal wall and I secretly enjoy the struggle now. It makes me push myself harder always.
Anyway, I don't really know what to share this week, no idea. So it's going to be a small thing, like my Things I love Tuesday! haha Before I became lactose intolerant I was a big ice cream lover. I would eat it as a meal, that's acceptable right? Anyway, my favorite flavor of ice cream was always Strawberry. I loved Strawberry Cheesecake or just plain old strawberry. I haven't had strawberry in 3 years and I miss it so, I patiently wait for a soy ice cream like it, I hear some people make it but I haven't seen it yet! It won't be easy to impress me either for I am very very picky about my soy ice cream!
Anyway, that's all for now. I gotta go eat!
So we got up ate yummy pizza and I got the house ready to go and we hopped down the coast! Today was a pretty easy going day. OH and like my goggles? My eyes are tired of wind and dry weather.
We went to golden corral where I eat nothing but sides and chicken and Tom's food is yummy too. I got my computer back today! Omg yes! And we did very litte christmas shopping today. But santa and his tree is already out. Woot!
Too psyched about this but this is sort of my week from my SLR's point of view. But I got cold and kinda stopped photographing the rest of the week. haha I severely underprepared myself for cold weather. I didn't bring a scarf or long sleeves hardly. So this is day 19 because I'm REUNITED WITH CARD READER!
The cat can't get enough of hanging out with me since I can't handle his breath (it's really bad. His wet cat food smells horrible). Hahaha But I think its the blanket more than being around me.
