November in Review.

new blogs I found & enjoyed:
Girl and Closet.
Lizzy Pancakes.

new (to me) movies I watched:
Sons of Tuscon. HILARIOUS. I had heard of the show before but didn't realize it was a comedy, netflix kept recommending it to me and I finally gave in. I watched all the episodes in less than a week!
Me and You and Everyone We Know. I'm totally unsure how to feel about this movie. It made me feel kind of awkward but I was totally enthralled the whole time.
Cleaner. Oooh, great movie! I highly recommend it!
Some others I watched but don't really feel like writing anything about but are still really great noise if you need something to play in the background while you work: Riding in Cars with Boys, The House of Yes, Girl, Interrupted, The Glass House, Curdled, and Paul McCartney Really is Dead.

some of my favorite posts this month:
Where I work: Part One & Part Two.

exciting happenings on and offline:
• Um, in case you've been living on another planet the newest Legend of Zelda game, Skyward Sword, came out mid-November. I've literally been waiting 5 years (since Twilight Princess) for a new game to obsess over and I couldn't be happier that it's finally here. We had plans to go buy it at midnight but fell asleep. Luckily Kevin is super sweet and snuck out of the house the next morning before I woke to go buy it for me. We've been playing nonstop since! I don't want it to ever end.
Elycia and Ivan visited in the beginning of the month. It was so much fun having a "sassy wig party" and visiting estate sales with them. I want to be able to write something similar to this every month, I truly wish they lived next door.

a tiny (and incomplete!!) list of things I'm thankful for this month:
• small business saturday & everyone who helps support small businesses • pandora • netflix • my parents •  coleslaw • thrift stores • the internet • kind strangers •  root beer • my blog & all it's allowed me to do • snail mail • snow • long drives • estate sales • Ivan and Elycia • good books • my grandpa • the beautiful rose bush in our front yard that is still blooming despite the cold • zelda • cuddly cats • finding new places to hike • hot chocolate on cold nights • the mailman • mashed potatoes • our cozy little home • the funniest cats ever •

I can't believe 2011 is basically over. December is always gone in the blink of an eye but let's make it an awesome one!!
xoxo
