Busy bee

As November starts, so does my social life! :) This year has been pretty tame, and that's been very nice, considering we have a baby now. But my life is about to get ridiculously busy.

Halloween was great. Hubby gave out the candy, while I fed LB and made sure Puppy didn't run out the open door. He shouted every time he opened the door, which made all the little trick-or-treaters (and their parents) scream and jump! It was very cute. Next year, LB will be old enough to walk from door to door, even if it's just the houses right around us.

Saturday, the band played a concert at a retirement home. I'm all about that- I think it's nice that we do that, but I absolutely had the worst time. Our director made us get there an hour early (so we could "warm up"), but when I showed up, he told me to just go around and check out the craft fair, because we couldn't set up. I did, then came back well before concert time, as everyone did. But despite our punctuality, we still started ten minutes late. Plus, the emcee (our bass clarinetist) went on and on between the pieces, so what could have been a quick 45 minute concert ended up to be over an hour, with all this babble between the songs. Plus, nobody put in an effort- wrong notes everywhere, people missing their entrances, no agreement on tempo... After it was over, I didn't stay to help load the equipment, I was so mad. I just took off, called Hubby, and had him pick me up. So disorganized....

This week is Y's wedding. My sister, T, is flying in, then we're going to the rehearsal dinner at a nice hotel downtown, and the day after that is the wedding! The two of them are going nuts, but it will all work out. Y will be here soon, and we're going to tie up some loose ends around here, like getting the favors assembled and such.

Also this month, I have a Dive Tower Social, an SOWC meeting and auction, my parents' anniversary, Thanksgiving, and my 10 year high school reunion. And, of course, the election! Next month will be even busier- the boat's holiday party, six Christmas concerts, 1 kid's Christmas party, the SOWC holiday party, Christmas, and prepping (still) for a westpac. It's a little ridiculous.

So I apologize if I don't get that Friday recipe in (like this past week- oops), or if I only post recipes because I'm too damn busy and tired to post anything else! :) I will try my hardest to post often. Just be forewarned that it may mean several posts of me just venting stress, haha!
