Our neighbour moved out! Y'all, we are so happy! I actually WANT to be home now (though, there are times where I don't want to be home b/c of other reasons!). He moved out Oct 5, and we are more relaxed now.
My neighbour and I have been having movie nights :) We both love that we have someone to watch movies with. Yes, Anker and I will watch movies, but often, we don't watch stuff together anymore. Yes, I know it is a bad habit. Anyway, Emily and I have been having fun watching New Amsterdam every week and movies.
Btwn my neighbour, my SIL, and my friend, I have been given a lot of clothes lately. I have had to sell some of them, as they are too big or small, but a good chunk of them I like, and I think they fit well.
Eggnog and PSL were in grocery stores...Eggnog has gone back into the vault for now, but the PSL drink is still out. I am not a big fan of the PSL drink, but it is different, and I used it (along with the Eggnog) in my coffee!
Yay for 3 day long wknds! I haven't worked 5 days in ages! This week will be a fiver day-er, then the next week will be, three, then 4 :) Two weeks ago was a four day wk for me, due to my uncle's funeral, and this last week was a 4 day-er, due to it be Thanksgiving Day on Monday.
Well, it is now a few days INTO November! Ha!!! Yes, I know...I just haven't felt like blogging lately! But, things are all good :)
Ok..here are a few more:
I am loving the flavoured/sparkling water the last few weeks! I actually will bring one nearly every day to work. Yum! I sometimes like to have it with cranberry juice.
Y'all, I am LOVING the fall colours! Yes, I am sad that the leaves are almost all gone now, but I took a ton of pictures this year, and you can see them on my FB and IG accounts. I went "leaf peeping" (yes, I just learned this a year or so ago that this was a legit thing/word) at/in our park the last week and it was gorgeous! I had fun taking some pictures.
I watched the movie "Unplanned" a few weeks ago, and y'all, RUN do not walk to get this amazing moving! EVERYONE must watch it. Yes, I said EVERYONE! I also watched "Breakthrough" a few weeks ago, and that was awesome as well! I would recommend anyone over the age of 12 watching both movies.
Halloween was on Thursday, and our school doesn't do anything for it, but I did end up wearing my candy corn earrings, and some pumpkin socks to work that day :) In the evening, my neighbour and I watched a movie (she had never seen "Princess Bride", can you believe that??, so we had to watch it), and we ate chocolate bars, and then went to chase fireworks. (FYI: Anyone who says "We don't do Halloween", but ends up going "Trunk or Treating" or even a Church Night Out (A local church does "Light Up the Night", and does a great job!), still does Halloween, in my opinion, so quit fooling yourselves. Our neighbourhood put on a 45 minute firework display, and it was GORGEOUS!!! I wish I had seen the whole thing.
W Network (in Canada) has nearly 24/7 Christmas movies! Yes! I have already watched 5. True story. I also grabbed a few Christmas magazines from the library. I even heard a few people decorated their houses and put up their Christmas trees! Even my own MOTHER! Ok, not the tree, but she did decorate the house.
My girls group went for dinner at a local Greek Restaurant on Friday, and although we had a wonderful time, the food was lacking (and the prices were higher than ever!). Anyway, it was a fun evening out, and we got our first Christmas present!
I spent a bit of time with the boys the other day, and we had a fun time. We went for a walk after J woke up, and then we just vegged out. I also went over for a couple of hours last Sunday.
I went and visited K (and then Adam when he came home) for a bit tonight, and we had a fun time. We had soup and biscuits for supper. Yum!
We have a three day week this week, and I am not sad about it (though we do have one day of PD...yay!!!). I am hoping to go and spend some time with my aunt for a few days :)
I am trying with all I can, to not go to Starbucks. We need $$$ for winter tires, and I am trying to NOT buy things that I don't NEED! That includes Starbucks and other unnecessary purchases. It is always amazing that when you really stop to think about it (like REALLY stop and think), you probably don't need that item. I always say that for everything I buy, there are about 400000 other things that I could have bought. That usually doubles (or lessens, depending how you look at it) when you are REALLY trying to be frugal with your $$.
I looked after a former coworker's kids a couple of weeks ago, and it was really fun :) I know, I spend my days in a classroom, and then I spend my spare time looking after kids...what can I say? Kids and I like each other :)
I also watched "Abominable" last Saturday, and it was really good!!! It did drag for a bit I thought towards the end, but I liked it.
Our class went to the First Nations Museum on Friday, and I really enjoyed going. I have gone twice before, and I always say that I want to go with another adult (or alone), to stay longer, and to ask more in-depth questions, but I never end up going. I actually might go this winter, though. Maybe.
My across the street neighbour lets me come over and house/cat sit for her when she is away. I love that I get to watch the BIG TV, and I also get sit and read, and just be alone for awhile. She has a new cat, who is 3 or 4 months old, and she is a dolly!!!
Ok, I think that is all for now :) There are probably some more things to say, but I can't remember. There are a ton more pictures that I could have put up/on/in the blog, but I want to get it posted, and it is getting late. I think most of them are on my FB/IG accounts.
