Sweet November…kind of

Nov 1, 2009 by Rochelle

I can’t help but remember a year ago at this time. I was joyous when we crossed over into November. There was so much to look forward to, particularly the election. It had been such a long time coming and the victory was oh so sweet.

This year, there isn’t nearly as much to look forward to this month, but I’m still quite happy to be here. This month I have NaNoWriMo and some fun times already planned with friends. And of course I love Thanksgiving (obviously).

In theory my November started off good, because DST ended last night. That extra hour really helps and it’s great to have the sun come up at a more reasonable time. But then the night got a little strange and I was up a lot dealing with something. Then I got up early today because I wasn’t feeling well and then technology just hasn’t agreed with me today. So yeah, it hasn’t worked out well so far. But I have hope for a great November!

Did I mention that last night I helped Marissa transform into Jackie Kennedy? Or at least something that resembles Mad Men. I am so terrible at doing hair. We struggled over it forever. Somehow we got it looking somewhat right. Much like me, she’s just got so much of it!

As for the rest of Halloween, I pretty much stuck around home and watched a lot of Ghost Hunters and even a “scary” movie called The Eye with Jessica Alba, which completely sucked.

I didn’t get any trick-or-treators (as usual) and so I’m stuck with a great big bowl of candy (yay me!).
