November really brought THE DARKNESS (outside mostly, but man I really do not want to leave the house after darkness at 4:30PM.)
A few things happened:
Shipping out theses adorable budgetober stickers to everyone who completed budgetober.
Working as audio tech on a cable access worship show last-minute.
Playing Betty Lou Who in a character grinch skate at Lloyd Center rink.
Looking for flooring! So many flooring decisions.
And our bottom sheet got a giant hole in it (after only two years!!!) so after much debate and research, we splurged for new linen sheets and comforter.
