In November I look forward to today (Election Day) - I love seeing all the neighbors at the polling place and people all around town walking to vote, makes me feel happy to be part of the community.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408882709131320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-41523748728420158652012-11-03T14:35:47.476-04:002012-11-03T14:35:47.476-04:00Congratulations to your Mr!!!

That is just awesome and I'm doing my jazz hands over here! =o) I loved the note you left for him...what a hoot!<br /><br />As for November, I just had breakfast this morning with a friend of mine and had a wonderful time. Next Sat. is my eye appt (only 5 years overdue, so the fact that I'll be able to see again is truly exciting). Thanksgiving is going to be a bit iffy due to family drama (I'm a crappy daughter, don't you know?), but no matter what I WILL be making Thanksgiving dinner and enjoying every minute of it, even if no one shows up. The hubs and the pooches will surely enjoy it, so that will make me happy. I started a few new goals last week and I'm very excited (new exercise routines and "decluttering" strategies). And I'll be making one new recipe every week from now until the end of the year so clear out my file and to see what's worth keeping and what isn't. I've been off the cooking bandwagon for a while now (hubs loves to grill, so he's been doing that), so it's time for me to get out of my funk and start participating in my life again. And of course, I'll be watching Snoopy wrestle a lawn chair for Thanksgiving again...wink wink. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-49105503694771318292012-11-01T23:07:04.417-04:002012-11-01T23:07:04.417-04:00I was thinking of running a virtual 5k with SparkP...I was thinking of running a virtual 5k with SparkPeople but I'm only at about 3.5km in my runs and I don't want to push it too far yet! <br /><br />In Canada we already had our Thanksgiving, but I love seeing American thanksgiving stuff pop up all over the internet (yay for pumpkin recipes!!) and my birthday is at the end of the month (after which we put up the tree!)

I like running, but not so much outside. Love how the photo turned out with your new camera. I'm sure you will get used it!<br /><br />I am in "taking things one day at a time" mode right now.

It reminds me of the time we were on Kauai (which is notorious for "good luck geckos" under the covers) and I got in bed, felt something on my foot and ran to the other side of the room while the Mr (who was in the bed) asked what the problem was. "I felt something under the covers!" He leapt out of bed only to retrieve...my compact. D'oh.<br /><br />I say you bring the boxes in one at a time and when he's gone, sneak in the extra tree.

Then I would run to a certain point and walk (quickly) again. My goal was not to finish last and I achieved that goal both times and improved my time the second time. The sense of accomplishment I felt when I was done was incredible. I posted pics on my blog and since then I've had lots of family tell me that I've inspired them to get off the couch too. (I'm sure they are thinking "If the fat one can do it, I surely can too!") LOL! For November, I'm looking forward to working on my Christmas shopping. Goal is to be done by Dec. 1. Ya right!

Darn. lol<br /><br />I'm looking forward to moving into my new house, my birthday, Thanksgiving and decorating for Christmas in the new place, all to take place between the 16th and the 23rd. What a week that will be! Was hoping to make it to in-laws' for Thanksgiving, since our kids can't come here for various reasons. But after the last holiday trip when it took two hours to get thirty miles out of town, DH refuses to contemplate it. My MIL and I both have sad faces. On the other hand, that gets my Christmas decorations up a week earlier, so there are compensations. Still chuckling at vannasmom's comment above.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296750630075402269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-45914642206987346582012-11-01T10:13:25.481-04:002012-11-01T10:13:25.481-04:00Love the note!

My friends and family know that if they see me running they should probably follow because something like a clown or large spider is chasing after me.<br /><br />I too am GIDDY with the thought that by months end my home will be Christmas Wonderland! I have the boxes stationed but my husband refuses to bring them into the house yet. I'm in a larger house and firmly believe there is room for two trees. He is complaining that the airplanes will mistake our house for a runway when I'm done.
