novem-brrr

november has flown by... thank goodness! (only 7 days left in my internship!) i'm enjoying the chilly weather, except when i have to get out of bed, and i finally get to burn my vanilla spice oil to make my house smell like the holidays!

for veterans day we went down to the beach to visit karebear! we just hung out (i took two naps in one day?) and we helped around the house. i finally got to see her house finished! it's so nice! such a big difference from her little one bedroom apartment.
this is the view from the front door. brett and bill put in those beautiful floors. to the right are two bedrooms and a bathroom and to the left is the master bedroom and laundry room.

this is the view from the back wall. brett's enjoying the new couches. and karen scored that huge rug for only $75 bucks!
last week we got a stationary trainer. it's pretty cool, i wish we would have gotten it at the beginning of my internship since i've been bad about getting out and exercising.

this weekend i was a homebody. we watched a redbox movie last night. then i graded papers all morning, ran, did laundry, and finally did something crafty. i was inspired to make a catch all for the buttons that come with our clothes because i lost a button for my dress! i transformed an altoids box with scrapbooking paper and modpodge. the blog design*sponge has lots of creative ideas for things to do with altoids boxes.

You are so crafty!! I think I am going to make one of those boxes. Guess I'll have to make Todd eat a tin of Altoids first though huh?
