When I opened my computer, I realized that I had left open my Novelmber project, “Classroom Rules”. Now that it’s November 24th, I think it’s safe to say that I will not be completing the novel (nor the first chapter). Unfortunately, I my legs have been successful with Noshavember but that ends tonight.
I digress..November has been filled with some fun events.
Kate Nash concert with my best friend
There she is.
Sad that the show is not starting
Passing the time
Making fun of our height difference
Making fun of Pauly D
Spent too much time “passing the time” (see above) to really figure out what was going on at the concert. Oops.
In other news, word on the street is that it’s Thanksgiving tomorrow. Which one means one thing…
Spiced Apple Cinnamon Ice Cream
This was the first time I made a recipe entirely from my own volition…it was quite tasty…
