November was a great month! Any month that ends with a week in Mexico at an all inclusive resort is going to be a good one. Made progress on my goals. Work had a lot going on, but it all got done. So yay for that!
I turned 40 on Wednesday, and it was a good day. Aging doesn't bother me, I lost my dad when he was 44 so I take every year I can get. My kids are healthy, my dog loves me, my home is not that messy and the people that love me and I love are a phone call/text away. I don't say blessed because that implies my life is an accident. I have stayed focused and worked hard to build this life that I'm enjoying. I do have the privilege of where I was born. That is the accident part, I guess. So, I don't know what that is called but that is what I am. :-)
Thank you to all who took the time to say Happy Birthday to me. I enjoyed remembering how everyone has come into my life. I got a lot of laughs in the airport thinking of you all!
Now for the year goals. We only got one month left!
Read 21 Books: 18/21
I finished two books on vacation! Granted one was 3/4 of the way done but I started and finished a second. That is the type of vacation I like, lots of reading time! When I take the boys I don't usually get that. LOL
The first book I read this month was a thriller! The Butcher and the Wren was a book I learned about from the Morbid podcast. It was really well written and a page turner. Exactly what I look for in a fiction read. If you don't like murder, don't read this book. Got it from the library, check it out!
The second book I read was the sequel to It Ends With Us, that I read last month. It's title is It Begins with Us. It's a love story. It will give you unrealistic expectations about how romantic a man can be. LOL But it was a good beach read. Which is handy because I read it on the beach! If you like sappy romance, read both of these books. :-)
Run 720 Miles: 673/720
I got 58 miles this month. I made it to the gym when it got cold so I'm proud of myself for that. I really should make the running goal this year. That is exciting because I missed the mark last year.

Got my three trips for the year: Vegas/Zion National Park, Washington DC and Mexico!!
Days I hit all of my Daily Habits: 12
I did really good until the week of Thanksgiving. Then I just stopped. I will start again today! Yesterday was sunk with trying to recover from vacation. I'm changing my low sugar goal to don't shop for myself goal. It's the holidays and I want cookies. Lol
