November-thumbs down for me
  
Well it hasn't been the best month for me yet...I hope it turns around though. The beginning of the month we went to Salt Spring Island and we were supposed to go by float plane...I was so excited by that as that has been on my bucket list, but due to the weather it was cancelled so we raced to catch the ferry....Boring!!! But we finally made it over there.... a little work and a little play. Had a good weekend. We decided to come back by ferry as well as it was too much of a hassle. We raced back to meet friends for supper downtown Vancouver ....well this is where the real excitement starts ugh....we get to our car and drive off giggling and laughing about the evening and pretty much on the outskirts of Vancouver thats when Darin says "What window is open?" as the road noise sounded loud all of a sudden....THATS WHEN WE REALIZED....the back window had been busted. So Dar found a place to pull over and we discovered our luggage had all been stolen and seen a huge dent in our side of our door...WTF...it took us a while to process what had just happened. I felt behind my seat to discover my laptop was still with us...Thank goodness but that was it....I had all my jewelry, clothes, ipad etc STOLEN....I feel totally violated....
Went back a couple days later to that parking lot and realized a bunch of vehicles got broken into as there was broken glass everywhere. My daughter and I watched surveillance footage from many stores and we got to see the little shit head with out luggage so we followed his trail but came up with nothing so far....we went to pawn shops and nothing so far.....ugh so frustrating.
This weekend we were at a fancy Gala and someone went home with my coat...WTF...but it was returned with my pockets emptied but at least my coat was returned. I can deal with the no hand sanitizer, the hotel room key, and lip chap LOL....
IS NOVEMBER DONE YET????

Have You Tried The Wax Paper Hack?
It’s so simple: You place a sheet of waxed paper on top of hard-to-see surfaces. Instead of dust sticking to the tops of cabinets, particles will stick to the surface of the waxed paper. Then when it’s time to deep clean the house, all you do is carefully fold the sheet up, toss it and replace with a fresh one.
If you have a powerful ceiling fan, or want to place the waxed paper somewhere that may be drafty, use double-sided tape to secure the paper in place and ensure that no dirt or grime can slip underneath it.
The sheets of waxed paper should be replaced every three to four months. To help you remember, swap the sheets when you switch out seasonal decorations. For example, top the cabinets with fresh waxed paper when you’re bringing out the pumpkins for Halloween, then do it again when you’re putting away holiday decorations.
To make this kitchen hack more environmentally friendly, wipe the sheet of waxed paper with a damp cloth, then get rid of the dust in the washing machine. You may still be dusting, but at least you don’t have to reach up high to do it!
