It is the new year, which means it is time for a recap of my Fall and the first two weeks of winter.

My Last recap was for Aug - Oct, so this one is going to cover November and December. 

November. I can't remember anything at all. This sounds terrible. The reality is I was trying to finish up school and that took more focus than I really had.

Here are the big things that happened. 

The hubs and I went to the US on Remembrance Day to do some shopping. He was in the process of transitioning jobs and was using up his vacation days. I wanted to go to Target and Trader Joe's. We got a lot of stuff and I spent a lot of money for a person who hasn't worked in almost a year. But, it was well worth it, I am still hoarding candy and other food we got. I do love that we went in peak Pumpkin Spice and the start of Gingerbread season. 

Since getting access to Shippsy (affiliate link), I haven't been as eager to go to Target, as I can now cheaply order from them. 

We went to the Drive-In one last time to see The Wild Robot and Venom: Last Dance. We always have a good time, and I get to cuddle Bradley there.

We also went to the movie theatre to see Gladiator II.

A friend and I went to the Sheshedo warehouse sale and we waited an hour to get inside. I picked up a fair amount of Nars products there.

Shortly after I went to the Lisa Sale with my mother. Lines are back, even on weekday mornings, so that was unexpected. I got some of those glossy Revlon lipsticks that got discontinued right after they went viral the other year and a bunch of Nars liquid lipsticks.

That was my not-too-exciting month.

December was a bit more exciting. I finished school. I really studied for my exams and I applied to graduate with High Honours (woot).

Sterling got this great cardboard gingerbread house from Dollarama. He has been very happy.

After that I got to celebrate my brother's birthday and then a week later 3 family Christmases. It was exhausting but fantastic.

I made family members these hot chocolates with freeze-dried marshmallows as a gift. They all loved it.

I got a record player for Christmas from the Hubs, so I went and picked up some used vinyl around town. I am still trying to figure out a good way of getting records without them costing me $50-75 each.

I've also been driving a lot. I drive the hubs to and from work twice a week. Which has been great. I need to get on the highway though, because I have until the spring to take my final test.

So that was my end of the year, not too exciting, but I did finish school. I hope you all had a great holiday season.
