I can’t believe November is over. It was by far, the fastest month of the year yet, even though I know December will likely feel even faster since it’s my very favorite.
Today I’m recapping my November goals and listing my December goals. As always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I accomplished my goals. And since I opted not to do seasonal bucket lists this year, all of our fun Christmas activities will be here instead. ;o)
November Goals
Relationships/Connect
Y Get together with family to celebrate Thanksgiving somehow. – we were able to celebrate with my parents and brother, my extended family, my FIL, and my MIL, all SAFELY. All celebrations were outside, socially-distanced, no food was shared, and masks were worn as needed.
Y Celebrate my littlest brother’s birthday, take three. – we were able to hang out with him on Thanksgiving and give him his gift, so we’ll call this one a win, even if it wasn’t typical.

Friday Funnies

| Everybody bows down to Betty White. Haha. |
 |
| It's funny because it's true. |
 |
| I literally laughed until I cried when I saw this. My friends and I used to say "yeet" all the time... way before it was popular, so this was extra funny. |
 |
| I feel like this meme was made specifically for me. |
 |
| It's true. Haha. |
 |
| Anybody else underwhelmed by Baby Yoda's real name?? |

Happy Friday, y’all!
Anytime we can figure out a way to see family and celebrate during this crazy time is a win in my book. I'm glad you were able to get together for thanksgiving and your brother's birthday. The month did go by crazy fast!
ReplyDeleteYou did so good with November goals, and I know you have already gotten a jump on this months - loved the home tour this week. Your home is so festive! Now if we can just slow time down...
ReplyDeleteWay to slay. Thank you for the laughs with your great funnies! I hope December is absolutely grand and festive for you my beautiful friend!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with your goals!!! Also... Baby Yoda's name isn't Yoda?? I don't watch the show, so I have no idea about Baby Yoda.
ReplyDeleteIt's NOT!! I had heard that they'd be revealing his real name at some point and when we heard the name we were like WHAT?! Haha.
DeleteWow! You did an amazing job with your goals! Our goals are super similar, my Mom and I try to do a workout video almost everyday, and I try to drink lots of water! Drinking water really just improves my day! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletePS: Your goals are super inspiring! I hope I can finish mine like you did!! :)
I forgot to add this, but I was so disappointed in Baby Yoda’s real name! I mean Grogu!
DeleteThank you so much for your kind words! Good luck to you on your goals! And YES, we felt the same way about Baby Yoda's name! We were like what?! Haha.
DeleteGreat job with the goals as always!
ReplyDeleteI literally said that he'll always be known as baby yoda; they waited much too long to reveal it for him to be known as anything else now.
ReplyDeleteAgree 100%!!!!
DeleteGirl you ROCKED it!! I seriously dont know how you get it all done with these lists - i 100% haven't done a goals list since April LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou rocked your goals this month girlie! LOVE that you were able to spend time with family for Thanksgiving and bring on all the Christmas movies <3
