Holiday weekend...

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to remind us to give thanx...I have lots to be thankful for, including this weekend. Drinking with one of my bests in Mesilla, thanksgiving dinners with families, hearing from friends (I love holidays-people taking time to tell you they love you...makes my heart happy!), buying and decorating a Xmas tree with my boyfriend and a baby shower. I even made a new friend, which is always one of my fav things in life.

"Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy." ~Robert Anthony

Is this me? I really worry that I don't allow myself to be happy, that I let my BS get in the way, that I'm too afraid to just be happy.....

Lots of good and bad to being back in your hometown, my favorite so far is reconnecting with old friends!
Today, after watching my stupid football team play like shit, we went to Novemberbrew and had a great time, sampling way too many beers.
Happy side note, one more month of this semester! Thank goodness!!

I can't believe it's November and that this year is almost over...time flies! I have had such a better, boring year (I only say boring because I am the queen of drama)with a few bumps and bruises. I have learned a lot, especially about people and the ones that shouldn't be in my life, despite my lack of wanting to cut out friends and wanting to always see the best in everyone.
My goal for these last two months is to cut out those people and to get myself healthy and skinny (I recently started a lifestyle diet)and back to Vanessa like.

I've had the best pre-Halloween days filled with some of my fav people...carved three pumpkins, tons of scary movies, baking Halloween treats, pumpkin festival and dressing up. I am starting to feel old though, would much rather stay home and do mellow drinking things then going out...think this will be my first year giving out candy to trick or treaters.
So much better then last year where I was going through some major bad.
I don't want October to end! :(

Pumpin carving, times two.

Oh how I love moments where I get to be a kid again but with adult beverages! ;)

I have declared today my protest day: no work, homework or diet! Rather bad idea considering the mass amount of stuff I have due this week but what can I say. ;) My favorite thing to do lately is stay at home with Zoey and do absolutely nothing...did I mention how much I am loving my house and what I've done with it!?
