It is finally month eleven. The leaves have changed, the air is so crisp, the food is delicious, the colors red/orange/yellow/brown look incredible and the fashion gets really adorable. Don't get me wrong, there are downsides. I tend to get a billion sinus infections at this point. *crosses fingers* Then there is day light savings time. I don't particularly enjoy it but I know the chances of the state changing its policy on that fun note will probably never happen. So the best I can do is accept the DST ugly head and not complain.
In 4 days I will be 24 weeks pregnant and the baby will be THIS BIG!!!! *holds out a ruler* Almost 11 inches! I keep wondering if by week 40, will I really be able to deliver a melon to my husband? Probably. One thing I am thankful for this thanksgiving is a baby in my tummy who gives me the excuse to eat as much mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing I want! I know I have a baby bump but when November 22nd roles by, I'll have a food bump too.
November is great for the walks with the cool and calm air. Granted I can't really walk too far on the trails or else I'd fall down in a ditch and die somewhere based on my center of gravity changing.
One thing I always have difficulty with is the fashion. As said, it is adorable but who in God's name can afford such beautiful clothes? Unless if you want to get into serious debt, you don't get any of the fancy stuff. I have tried to find ways to save. The $25 brown button down jacket from Walmart or Target do not compare to the $150 soft warm cozy (fantastic fabric may I remind you) jacket from Dillards. I have seen women my age wandering around (Target) in the most adorable clothes. What the heck are you doing in a Target?! Your fancy rich coat and boots are making me jealous, go shop somewhere else! When trying to save, it's just not the same. I can tell a Walmart Uggs rip off from the real thing. Not that if you wear the ones from Walmart that it is a bad thing. For my personal wishes and desires, I just want the real thing. Who says a pregnant lady can't be fashionable? Actually, it is harder than one may think. I'm not going to be pregnant for much longer so I'm not going to go out and by $80 pair of preggo jeans. Walmart doesn't carry it anymore. Target overprices. Savers.... is just a terrible place where people's hopes and dreams go to die.... It certainly isn't a picnic. If it is, picture your picnic swarming with ants... lots... of ants....
Besides my art getting up on here, I would like to put up recipes and how to's. Since it's November, I'm doing a November Recipes Tab or something or other on here.
Everyone: Enjoy November, it will go by faster than we think. Ta-ta
