Wow, I cannot believe it's December already. This year flew by and I can't believe that pretty soon I'll be writing a yearly wrap up post. In some ways the time flying is good for me. Time flying means that I get closer and closer to seeing Mr. Bingo again. I know it's not until the end of the month, but I can't not be excited for it... I should make an advent calendar for that, instead of Christmas haha!
In November I:
- Chose the songs Better Than Nothing by Sara Jaffe, Because I am Queen by India Arie, and I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked by Ida Maria for my Musical Monday posts.
- Launched my awesome Holiday Hot List with reading and shopping recommendations for this Holiday season.
- Added new dreamcatcher watercolors to my Etsy shop.
- Wrote about what I believe.
- Misread/planned my flight details and lost a day of my trip. Consoled myself with wine.
- Learned how to use my Webcam due to missing a day of my trip. That's a good thing when dating someone far away.
- Made it to Oregon and spent an amazing few days with Mr.Bingo. I want to go back so badly! I subsequently had withdrawals for a week and a half after coming home. Good thing he'll be here for the holidays and I plan to visit again in January.
- Somehow started loving myself.
- Accomplished a lot of my goals (see my post Wednesday!)
- Hit 1,000+ GFC followers! You guys are amazing!
- Kicked off a bunch of awesome Holiday giveaways. If you haven't, you should go enter them!
My favorite photos from November were:
