My November (and some October)

In October, I went to the National ASCE Conference. It was a conference, but had a technical tour to the Hoover Dam. Damn, that dam is AWESOME!

Here is me with the new bridge and a statue. The new bridge opened the week before we toured the dam, it is an amazing bridge and is HUGE!
This is the view from a vent tunnel. It was raining so hard while we were there.
The view from the vents.
Me in the vent tunnel. It is kinda blurry, but it shows how big the tunnel is.
More tunnel. My camera died about this point and so I switched to my phone, however, I don't know where my adapter is, so I can't download my photos.
Here is Nova, I believe I was cooking, so she was resting in the living room making sure I didn't leave.
Tamaran had a baby boy (Brayden) while I was in Vegas. And I didn't know what I wanted to do for a quilt, so I started it late.

This is what I came up with, I am happy with it. I think it was one of my most square/straight quilts yet. However, I decided it needed something more than the little 'x' ties I put in the corners, so I added traditional ties. I shouldn't have, but it still looks cute.
This shows the back. PotPie approved of the quilt and would often be found sleeping on it, while it was on the stand (okay only once, before I started locking her out of the room while I was gone)
And of course here is a picture from our first major snow of the season. The snow was so wet and heavy that my poor trees bent all the way over. The next day I went and shook them off and they seem to be doing okay now, but I am going to have to make sure to clear the snow next time we get the heavy/wet snow. The "blizzard" we had yesterday didn't even phase them.
So when my bed was on the floor (it has been fixed, Thanks Dad), Nova got use to sleeping on my bed, especially after I picked her up after I got home from Vegas, since I didn't put her kennel up. Now she thinks that it is her bed. I am still torn about this. She is dirty (hence the sheet on top), but SO warm! I haven't had to put on any extra blankets on my bed yet this year. And it has been cold. I feel like I should stop this, but I like not having the kennel up. If only I could get her to sleep on her bed that is at the end of my bed. Maybe next year...

Another thing that happened this month, is that I called to cancel my cable. Which means, no paying for tv (I ordered an antenna) and no internet. This FREAKS me out! I just keep reminding myself that I have internet on my phone and at work. Hopefully this change will be okay or even good. I am trying to be more active, so I can beat the winter funk with endorphins. I have been working out after work on Mondays and Wednesday and I go to water aerobics on Tuesdays. I am trying to go on Thursdays, but that has yet to happen.

So there you go. There's my update. My next update will be??? This is the only problem I see with not having internet at home, but maybe I can update at work, after hours of course!
