November randomness

We saw this at a house on a heritage house tour and G wants to try to make it out of the palette we have. 

Also... My puppies are adorable!


It's November, which means it's the holiday season! I love Christmas, but November means one amazing thing... THE GEORGETOWN BURRITO IS COMING BACK!!! I don't know when, but at some point, Bubba's Burrito Bar in Islip will bring back their amazing thanksgiving burrito!

Also it means that we have a winery date next weekend, then my last day at my job and first day of my new job, AC for a friend's birthday, books club, the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who episode, and Catching Fire! The adult and teen in me are very excited. 

New beginnings

Right now my hubby is installing a new toilet (yay owning a house!), while I am enjoying a minor pulled muscle in my back. This thing better work it's way out before my work event tomorrow! I love candles so I have my apple cider candle AND my pumpkin pie candle going. I love it because I get to enjoy the smells without the calories.

I got the job I applied for, and I have two weeks until it begins! Whenever people ask me how I feel, I think the perfect word to describe it is bittersweet. I know it is a great opportunity and I think I will enjoy it, but it is a big change and still going into a new job is always kind of scary. When I left my last job before this one, I was so ready to move on. I liked the work I was doing, but did not like the company I was working for. Now I am leaving a place and coworkers that I have gotten very attached to. Last night we all went out to say goodbye to another coworker who is moving on, and it just reminds me how close I have gotten to all of them. I thought I would be at this job longer, but I am excited that a job that utilizes my qualifications so well opened up and I think I would be silly to pass it up. My boss has said a couple times that, who knows, maybe I will come back. And that's true, I don't know. I do hope that I will enjoy my job. I plan on getting some audiobooks to get me used to a normal work commute instead of the 5 minutes my current commute it (I know, I was spoiled). I will miss my days off and extra time with my husband and puppies, I know that. But I am trying to be optimistic. I am a combination of nervous and excited. I hope I can prove my worth at the new job the way I did at my soon-to-be former one.

Changes define who we are and as my tattoo says, "It starts with an ending..."
