It seems like I check back into this blog about once a year…
There are times when I honestly think I have forgotten it, then I’m surprised when I pull it up and it is still here, I’m also surprised about the last updates and I am surprised I remember how to do this.,,,,
So what looks like my yearly update…. (Although I’m going to attempt to come visit my long lost site more. Maybe.)
Here’s how I’m Novembering
After one teenage boy, one 9 year old boy, several headaches, backaches and heartaches, the latest addition to the family is a girl, an 8 month old Golden Retriever Named buttercup. Already spoiled, already claimed the couch, already only listens when she wants. So energetic. So chewy.
What did I do?
One thing I can thank Little Miss Buttercup for is, my daily step count has gone through the roof. I used to walk around the neighborhood once, twice, sometimes three times a week. Now, it’s forced March once, twice sometimes three times a DAY.
One thing I love about the small neighborhood is about dusk, a gathering of ladies appear in the streets and walking with Different ones falling in and out. Almost everyone with a dog. The dogs visit, the ladies talk about the trauma/drama of their day and decompress.
Now the walking is not optional. I’m doing a great deal of it. 
My new goal is 8,000 steps a day. I’m killing it.
I am still working at home and, I must say, I have the hang of it. So much so that I don’t think I could go back to working in an office every single day. How did I do that? Tackle that traffic? There are certainly some drawbacks to manage, but overall, I am very very happy and thankful and have no plans to return to an office.
Thanksgiving is fast approaching and it’s finding me without a plan…. Do I want to host/cook? Can I do so with a welcoming attitude? Do I want to try and go away for four days (YES), the reality is My husband may not even be here for thanksgiving…. It looks like my husband might be working out of town over Thanksgiving. Do I want to cook and invite his work mates to Thanksgiving? So many questions. I have no answers.
Have your eye on anything specific for Black Friday? This is what I have been stalking at Sam’s Club. It says it’s going to be on sale on Black Friday. However it doesn’t tell you the price. I’ve been looking about twice a day
I’m also Only interested in the white. With the gold handle. Of course it says it is out. But if it really goes on sale on Black Friday how can it be out? Again. I have a lot of questions. I have no answers 
I’m also stocking this cookware stand. For my cast iron Dutch oven collection that is coming along. However, they are pricey. And I have not seen them go on sale at all. I did tell my husband I want it for Christmas. We’ll see how that goes…
