Everyday Moments: November 2011

1 - Writing over 2,000 words during my first day of NaNoWriMo

2 - Running for 20 minutes straight for the first time ever. And it felt... easy?

3 - A lunch outing with co-workers

4 - Wearing boots for this first time this season

5 - A new hairstyle

6 - Rocking a 5K race and a lunch date with my grandparents

7 - A shopping trip at Marshall’s that yielded me two shirts and a sweater for under $25

8 - Making it through a tough BodyPump class where I did EIGHTY-THREE squats during the first half of the squat track. That’s just... no. Not right.

9 - Snuggles and kisses with Dutch

10 - Sleepover with my nephew

11 - Getting a raise at work

12 - Running 2 miles without stopping (!!) and meeting Amber

13 - Watching the SFvNYG game with my brother. He’s a little insane when he watches his Niners, but it’s still so much fun to watch football with him. Also? Watching my nephew have conversations with Dutch. PRICE! LESS!

14 - A quiet lunch at Panera

15 - Locking in my days off for November and December. I had 5 days (+ one “shopping day” my bosses gave to everyone) to use up so starting Thanksgiving week, I will have at least one day off for the next eight weeks.

16 - Feeling skinny

17 - A dark chocolate Dove bar

18 - Coming home from a draining day at work to see my nephew at my place. Love.

19 - Buying an adorable coat and scarf for $25 from Old Navy. (They were having a crazy 75% off outerwear sale. My coat was $15!)

20 - Shopping for the the first Thanksgiving hosting gig for my mom and I

21 - Getting in a good morning workout so I could come home after work and RELAX. It made me happy all day.

22 - Feeling completely settled and happy

23 - Leaving work an hour before quitting time and knowing I have six days all to myself

24 - A drama-free, stress-free Thanksgiving with the people I love the most

25 - Going to the Sea World Christmas Celebration

26 - Buying a dresser from IKEA and my brother coming over that night to help me put it together. (And by help, I mean he did it all by himself with me standing by...)

27 - Our first #twookclub chat. There are some things to change but ultimately a GREAT success!

28 - Turning 24

29 - A relaxing day off, where I took a 3-hour mid-morning nap and caught up on my DVR. Splendid.

30 - A small birthday celebration at work
