NaNoPoblano – Day 30 (November 30): Last day of the challenges!
Go NaNoPoblano (National Blog Posting Month) (https://cheerpeppers.wordpress.com/) ! And day 30 of 30 Days of Thankfulness (https://mcclendonvilla.wordpress.com/2016/10/29/30-days-of-thankfulness/).
It’s the final day of NaNoPoblano and 30 Days of Thanksgiving. Thanks for the challenges!! I always enjoy challenges that give me the excuse to blog more, and there were great ones. Don’t know what’s coming in December – there was one last year
So, to end my NaNoPoblano and Thanksgiving posts, I am thankful for new windows for our basement that were installed today. I showed some inside views earlier today, now here are the outside views, before and after, of those same windows:
The one bedroom
The big window
The bathroom – oops. No before…
And now, a scene from A Christmas Carol – this is kind of how I’m feeling right now.
But, it’s Christmas movie season, and so far it’s been It’s a Wonderful Life, and George C. Scott’s A Christmas Carol. Tonight, it’s Elf. What’s next? I’ll let you know! Thanks for November 🙂
NaNoPoblano – Day 29 (November 29): FU2016
Go NaNoPoblano (National Blog Posting Month) (https://cheerpeppers.wordpress.com/) ! And day 29 of 30 Days of Thankfulness (https://mcclendonvilla.wordpress.com/2016/10/29/30-days-of-thankfulness/).
Sorry for the implied expletive, but I’m afraid I don’t feel very thankful today. I mean, I’m always thankful for Kevin, the kitties, mom and dad, family and friends, an of course my amazing work colleagues. But today sucked. And I don’t know how much more I can take.
Whatever happens though, I am throwing 2016 into the garbage and taking 2017 – it’s mine and no one is going to ruin it for me.
2017, you are mine.

So, this morning on my way to kickboxing, I saw this:
Yay!! Time to get our Christmas tree!!!

NaNoPolano and 30 Days of Thankfulness are almost done. I can’t believe it! December is nigh. As is Christmas! In case you hadn’t noticed…
I am thankful for Christmas coming, and also want to send best wishes out to Brian, who apparently lost his drone. Wish he has posted a picture 🙂
NaNoPoblano – Day 26 (November 26): Visitors!

The ‘MurKan relatives arrived safe and sound for a Saturday morning brunch.
It was light outside, but we still needed candles in the dining room!
With permission, my Aunt along with the Christmas-sweatered bottle of chocolate wine my cousin brought up for us!
Finally, a peacock posing as Kevin, my Uncle and Cousin and I went for a walk after brunch (my Aunt went to mom and dad’s place to see their new bathrooms!)
And thus ends our visit with the ‘MurKans!
NaNoPoblano – Day 25 (November 25): Thanks Niagara Grocery!

After waiting all week for a promised “decision” that never came about, I am thankful for Niagara Grocery’s continued sense of humour!
NaNoPoblano – Day 24 (November 24): Lunch with Dad!

Today I went for lunch with my dad. To the Heron Rock Bistro, which is a couple of blocks away from our house. We didn’t go far ’cause it was a bit rainy out (and a bit chilly too, although it’s hard to say that as someone from Saskatchewan!)
Anyway, it was a latte and a Heuvos Cubanos hash – I almost forgot to take a picture, but at least this time you are seeing more than the empty plate!
NaNoPoblano – Day 23 (November 23): Thankful for sick days

Yeah. I was home sick today. I won’t tell you about it – that’s something no one really needs to hear about. I think I should be good to get back at it tomorrow.
But now, I want to go back to sleep…
NaNoPoblano – Day 22 (November 22): Thankful for spooky kitties

And that’s all I got for tonight!
NaNoPoblano – Day 21 (November 21): Are you sure it’s November?

Went for a walk over the lunch hour with a couple of colleagues and it had to be 15 degrees out – that’s 15 Celsius for you ‘MurKans (I am sure Google can convert that for you 🙂 )!
Anyway, it was amazing out there. Compared to what we saw on TV in Ottawa yesterday…
I think we live in a pretty great place!
