November 2017

We are officially on the very last month of 2017. We are almost on the verge of entering a new year... again. 

But first there's Christmas! 

And my monthly highlights post for November. *winks* It was a good month. I did crazy things. We was a nice Thanksgiving. Lovely things happened.

Read all about it, folks! *smiles*



WHAT HAPPENED \\


\\ Babysitting for six cousins overnight. Well, the oldest is 14, I think, so he probably doesn't really need to be "babysat". ;P Anyhow, their little sister was at the hospital, so my sister and I went and stayed there. It was the first time I'd stayed the night somewhere, where I was the oldest. ;)

\\ A trip to the "big city". My sister and I got our country-girl boots. *grins* I think I've worn them the most so far, though.

The boots I'm holding are the ones we got. ^^

\\ My sister and I went with some family friends to a Jonny Diaz concert. ^___^

\\ My grandparents came to visit, and stayed at our house.

\\ Thanksgiving happened! It was a nice day of people and good food. *winks*

THE CRAZY \\

\\ We bought a horse the day before Thanksgiving. And rode him Thanksgiving morning- what a great way to start the holiday. =D He's been having a very hard time listening to us when we ride him, though. Like, tell him to go this way, and he goes the other... *sigh* If we don't figure out how to make him listen, it might not be worth it to keep him. *sad face*

\\ I GOT MY LICENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it's been a while since I've mentioned the whole learning to drive thing, but who wants to talk about it when you're taking forever? ;P It was stressful at times, guys. Once I gave some rather bad advice to some younger siblings, something like, "Never get your driver's permit". Haha...ha. Do get your driver's permit, just get your hours and everything done a little faster than me. *winks*
So yea. I got my license maybe four-ish days ago. I had gotten all my hours awhile ago, but I didn't take my test for so long because our car's horn didn't work, and you have to demonstrate that on the test... and people took forever replacing it. Plus I probably needed more practice with parallel parking and such. Anyhow, we finally scheduled the drive, and I took the test on the 17th. Annnd, I failed. *cough* Because on the 3-point turn, I backed into the wrong lane, so don't do that, k? I think if I'd done that right, I would've passed.
But on the second time, I passed. *huge grin* FIINNALLLLY! <33 I'm done now.

\\ I went for my very first job interview!! At Chick-fil-A. I was nervous, but I did manage to get out of the vehicle and walk into the building. ;) And it was okay. Oh, and they scheduled me for another interview, which I went to a couple days ago. So, we'll see if I get hired...

LOVELY \\

\\ Getting a passion tango iced tea from Starbucks. :)

\\ Thanksgiving food, of course.

\\ Shopping with my mom and brother. Shopping is cheering medicine. *winks*

\\ Finding like-new black and white converse shoes at a consignment shop. They were $10, and I bought them. ;)

\\ Going to Goodwill and finding a nice black dress, half-off. <333 It was $2.65 or something. That's why thrift shopping is ahmaazing. *winks and grins*



MOMENTS \\

\\ Little bro: *talking about Justin Beiber singing "Baby"*
Me: Do you like that song?
Him: No, I don't like "Baby Oh". 
Haha.

\\ Little brother's going to freeze his mashed chocolate banana stuff so it will be a "powerful popsicle". xP 

\\ Little bro: (says to roll the window up... or lighting will come in and 'trike us) "Lightning is tough. It will strike us down." 

\\ Little bro: Dad, stop the car. My popcorn is gonna fall.

\\ *Sees Asian beetle on my bedspread* Me: Intruder.

\\ When you go to the library and see all kinds of nice movies. And get three. And have a movie night with the sister three nights in a row (pretty sure). *winks* 

\\ When you drive to town for the first time as a licensed driver, without an adult. #freedom I was going to my second interview, and a couple of my siblings came with me. We went to Walmart after. :)

\\ When you laugh yourself to tears. I was sleeping in my (other) sisters' room when my grandparents were visiting, so one night my 6-year-old sister and I kept tossing her giant pink bunny back and forth between ourselves... for some reason, that struck my funny bone, and I laughed away. xP xD

BOOK STUFF \\

The Seahorse Legacy by Serena Chase

Pretty sure I finished this in November.

My Foolish Heart by Susan May Warren

Currently reading this.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

And this, for school. Which is a very nice thing to read for school. ;)

WATCHED \\

The Ultimate Legacy

Thinking I watched this in November...

October Baby

A re-watch

Scents and Sensibility

This was a re-watch of the modern version of the Jane Austen classic. Kind of a cute, funny movie. :)

Little Women

Also a re-watch. 

My Fair Lady

I only very briefly started this once, so a first time watch. It was alright- had it's nice parts, but all-in-all not really a favorite. We did skip a little in a few places, probably mostly some of the singing parts. ;)

Yea, this was kinda long, but there's my November highlights. :)

WHAT DID YOU DO IN NOVEMBER? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO IN DECEMBER?
