A month's hiatus

Has it really been a month since I last posted? It's hard to believe that time goes by so quickly. I blame it on the recession. Or maybe I was subconsciously boycotting NaBloPoMo for the month of November. Who knows? Here's a list of what I've been up too during the past 30 days:

1. I made a bunch of ornaments from miniature flower pots, paint, wooden hearts, florists wire, elastic cord, and buttons. Then I mailed them to friends. On time, even!
2. I stopped riding the motorcycle. It is so damn cold and I have heated seats in my car, so really it was an easy decision.
3. I taught a few of the topics in our contractor training at work! If you need to know how to repair a pipe penetration using oakum, I'm your gal.
4. I saw Coldplay in concert for Free. I am not kidding. One of my coworkers received free tickets from a friend who is a TBS bigwig and he didn't have anyone to go with. So I volunteered! And Coldplay was so good I wanted to take the whole band home with me.
5. I joined a group about giving thanks on Flickr and it has been so much fun seeing what everyone is thankful for in their lives. Check it out!
6. I finished my Christmas shopping for the in-laws and the package made it to their house before Thanksgiving. If you know me, you know this is unprecedented. I am usually a master procrastinator, so I'm not sure what got into me this year.
7. Thanksgiving came and went! Dave had to work, so we just laid low for the holiday. We ate at a buffet-style restaurant that I like to call the Golden Trough (real name: The Golden Corral). I didn't have to cook and I was really very thankful for that.
8. I bought new boots and so far, I love them.
9. I saw Kristian Bush (from the country duo Sugarland) in concert with Lisa Carver and Ellis Paul at Eddie's Attic in Decatur. Such a great venue...small, intimate with good food and drinks. I got to shake KB's hand and tell him how much I enjoyed the show. That is probably the closest I will ever come to a celebrity and I will tell you this, I would not have recognized him had I walked past him on the street. I am so oblivious to that kind of thing.
10. I am planning a trip to Michigan to see my friend Traci. In December. When it will most likely be snowing. I will be wearing my ski suit the entire time I am there, even for sleeping because I DO NOT like to be cold. I can't help it, I'm from Florida.

The End. (See, you really didn't miss much at all!)
