November!

Okay guys, first of all, I must apologize. I’ve been a really bad blogger. My last post was exceptionally bitter and angry and I thought about taking it down but you know what? That’s how I felt at that moment in time so it stays. Anyway, the reason I have not been keeping up with this blog is because I have been insanely busy. Haven’t really had much time to write, let alone breathe. Hopefully things will slow down a little bit sometime soon and I can get back to it. Because of the busyness and craziness at work, I’ve been what you call a “Negative Nancy”…another reason why I haven’t been updating this. I don’t want this blog to turn into a series of Kristina rants so I’m trying to spare you.

So, now you know where I’ve been and how cranky I have been BUT there is some good news…it is my favorite month of the year (besides July) NOVEMBER! It is birthday month (yes that’s a thing…I get it from my Mom) and it’s the month of my favorite holiday Thanksgiving. I looooove Thanksgiving! Probably because I am obsessed with food (my Dad is an awesome cook) and I actually really enjoy my family. It’s just such a nice holiday. I love waking up and watching the parade. I love getting excited when Santa shows up in his sleigh (and then the Christmas season is allowed to begin). I love getting ready and heading over to my parents house. I love the way the house smells when you walk in. I love how every year at the end of the meal we say “that was way too much food, next year we have to cut down a course” but we never do. I love how every year my Dad threatens to have it catered because he doesn’t want to deal with all the work but he never gets it catered, he loves cooking too much. I love everything pumpkin (call me basic for that, I don’t care…it’s delicious and you know it!). I love every single second of Thanksgiving from beginning to end.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas too but it’s just so commercialized now. The meaning of Christmas is lost on so many people. They are playing Christmas music and commercials already and we haven’t even celebrated Thanksgiving yet. It’s ridiculous. They skip right over Thanksgiving (I’ve always been a fan of the underdog). I like the anticipation of Christmas. I like putting up the tree and wrapping presents and making cookies but I like it AFTER Thanksgiving.

Anyway, Happy November everybody! Enjoy this nice Fall weather before it turns into…snow (ugggh not looking forward to that).

Until next time…
