November flew by in a bit of blur, amiright?? Turkey day has come and gone and we are about to head into the mother lode of the busy holiday season 🙂
What I enjoyed this month: Decorating early for Christmas. I used to be a strict after-Thanksgiving decorator, but since becoming a mom, the decorations have come out earlier and earlier, and now I am pretty much a first-week-of-November-Christmas-decorator. #sorrynotsorry I love Christmas and since it is my favorite holiday, I feel like it should be celebrated for as long as possible.
GILMORE GIRLS REVIVAL!!!!!
Yes, I was one of gazillions who watched the brand new 4 90-minutes episodes of Gilmore Girls on Netflix. I laughed. I cried. I railed at the television when #thelastfourwords were spoken. I said a silent prayer that they would bring back Loralei and Rory for a second season, because we all need to know…WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN??!!! Also, can they just give Paris Gellar her own show? Because she literally makes me cry-laugh and I realize how much I miss her witty take-downs 🙂
What I am absolutely over: Politics. Enough said.
November was a fun month as I got to chaperone my daughter’s school field trip. Yay!!! And I also started exercising again, as it had been awhile (over a month) and I needed to get back in the saddle so to speak. I just hadn’t been making the time to exercise but I need to make it a priority again, because I honestly feel better after getting in some movement in my limbs, you know what I mean?
November was also the month that I apparently was in “documentary mode”. I watched more documentaries this month than I have in probably my entire life. I like watching them, it is just that I usually watch movies when I do get a block of time to watch something. That being said, I watched some interesting stuff. I don’t remember the actual names of the documentaries but this is what they were about:
♦ 2 separate but equally interesting documentaries on silent screen star Mary Pickford
♦ a documentary about the Dust Bowl that struck the U.S. during The Great Depression in the 1930’s
♦ a documentary on the Wisconsin primary race between Hubert Humphrey and John F. Kennedy in 1960.
♦ a documentary about the British Mail delivery system between England and Scotland in the mid-1930’s
♦ a documentary about the Kennedy assassination before, after and during which took place over a period of four days in Dallas, Texas.
I know, my choices were all over the place but I didn’t even realize I had watched this many until I started tabulating them all. I look forward to watching more!
Well that’s it for me folks. I am looking forward to December and Christmas and 24 hours of A Christmas Story 🙂
How was your November? Did you watch Gilmore Girls?
I just finished the gilmore girls last night. I counted three words at the end. Maybe I have to go back and re-watch. It was great overall, but kind of of sad, am I right? The first two episodes were weird and kind of slow, but the last two were amazing. I agree about Paris. She’s hilarious. I liked the mom’s storyline too. And the musical? Sign me up to go see it. I was with the townspeople on that one!
I too thought it was just 3 words, but the creator of the show is including Lorelai’s response of “What?”, when Rory says “Mom?”. And then Rory says her last two words. Kelly Bishop was amazing as Emily and that woman deserves an Emmy. She was outstanding!!!
Oh gosh, I feel terrible admitting this but I don’t decorate for Christmas. I don’t host any festivities at my home and go for the actual holiday, so I really Grinch-it-up in my home. But I make lots of holiday treats, rock holiday music and watch Christmas shows so I swear I have holiday spirit! I actually miss helping my Mom decorate, because that’s the fun part – I don’t like the taking down and putting away part so much! I take it Bailey must also do okay with the Christmas tree? Max, I don’t think would be so well-behaved! Everyone is talking about Gilmore Girls but that’s a show I never watched. It’s awesome that it got a revival though and the ending the original creator wanted but wasn’t able to give until now.
We have a fake Christmas tree because cats and real trees do not mix! Bailey already tries to chew on the tree when he thinks no one is looking!! Ugh, he’s a stinker that one 😉
I get that not everyone is on the Gilmore Girls train. When people talk about The Hunger Games or any of those shows with zombies, I’m like “Huh?” 🙂
