Cheerleader

You know what is great about having your own personal cheerleader?
You always have someone who believes in you.
Even if your ideas are a little "out there".

I've been dating an amazing guy for a couple months now, I'll refer to him as T, if and when I refer to him.
He is such a great guy, the male version of me with a few exceptions, one being that he is the extrovert to my introvert.  New relationships are fun because both people tend to have a pair of rose-colored glasses on for a while.  Personally, I tend to remove my rose-colored glasses pretty early on in a relationship, but T still has his in place.  As such, he thinks I am incredible, hilarious, artistic and can basically do anything.

That being said, when I told T that I was contemplating (and have been contemplating for a while) writing some children's stories, his response was immediate, "You absolutely should, you'd be great at that".

Let me give a little background on my foray into writing.

I am NOT a writer.

How'd you enjoy your foray?  That's basically all I've got for you.

I promise I am not completely crazy.  I have been thinking about this for a long time.  I have an online journal with ideas and background on characters.

I do not, however, know if this will actually come to fruition.

But if it does, I can thank my cheerleader for encouraging me.

No-Post November

If we set our calendars by my blog, November never happened.  It's always interesting for me to see how my blogging ebbs and flows throughout the years.  Sometimes a massive stream of blogging stems from boredom, and sometimes it occurs because I have so many spectacular things happening in my life that I KNOW the world (or at least the 5 of you who actually read this) must be dying to hear every last detail (or at least the details my goldfish brain can recall).  Though quite often, a lack of blogging happens for the very same reasons...I'm bored, meaning my life is boring, therefore I have nothing to share, or I have so many spectacular things happening to me that I just don't have the time (or energy, or mental recall) to blog about it.

I assure you that November did in fact come for a visit...stayed for about a month actually before we could kick it out the door.

Here are a few things that happened in November that I am sure you're on the edge of your seat to learn:

Haircuts
Dinners with friends
Movies- I recommend the newest Batman and newest Bond movies...best ones I've seen yet
Work
Lots of laughing with funny people
Made my first cheesecake-  The crust was a fail
Manicures
Dance parties for 1
Harry Potter marathons
Crossword puzzles
Painting
Making ornaments
Avoiding homework-  I am SO good at this one
Trips to Idaho
Christmas shopping
Bridal Showers
Roofing-  I do not miss the hammering at all
One brief snowfall
Dates
Thanksgiving
Silly conversations
Text messages
Reminiscing
Pay raises
3-year old princess birthday parties
Dinosaurs
Museums
Trips into the office

Mainly, I am in disbelief that the year is almost over.  It's amazing how quickly time seems to go by these days, though everything seems to go by quickly in retrospect, doesn't it?  At least I'm having fun!
