What's New With Me: November

November was a super busy and somewhat stressful month. It started out with a work trip to the west coast for 2 days of training followed by an intense 9 page exam, which I still don't know if I passed or not. The best part of the trip (and only time I got outside the hotel) was finding Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery right around the corner from my hotel.



The following weekend I headed to a 3 day Women's Retreat up in Connecticut with my mom. We pet and fed some donkeys and goats, I tried tai chi for the first time, we attended some talks, and generally just relaxed. 



Thanksgiving break was great. We got out a little early on Tuesday due to our workplace flooding due to a broken urinal (it's on IG if you really want to see it), and then had off Wednesday-Friday. My mom and I volunteered at her church because they do a full Thanksgiving meal for anyone who walks in, and then we walked around looking at the lights in and around the WTC before heading to our respective apartments. No travel and no drama! WIN! And no pics because 1. I was busy and 2. Strangers don't need their pics taken. Black Friday I shopped online, and basically stayed in for the rest of the weekend, hermit-style. Oh, Blue's nieces came over for a game night. We played Uno and Cards Against Humanity and ate sushi and Thai in onesies and it was perfection. 



Last week I had the pleasure of meeting blogging buddies Charlotte and Lauren (and Lauren's friend and sister) at Serendipity 3. They were just as sweet and awesome as their blogs. If you don't follow these lovely ladies you totally should! 



Other November things: had our first snow day! Went to a talk and book signing with my mom, attended a "Sexy Party" (which turned out to be just a gathering of "sexy" friends; I thought for sure she'd be selling sex toys) and crawled into her dog's house for reasons I don't remember, had another game night, stumbled upon the Stock Market Exchange tree lighting, had a great dinner in an old bank, and helped Blue put up her tree.




All in all a busy but fun month! 
What's new with you?
