Very cold here in Austin today and tonight (below freezing). Also, just want to share one of my favorite quotes: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future” ― Galadriel (Lord of the Rings). Yes, I know it's from a movie/book, but it is true. 

Yesterday my boyfriend and I built an entertainment center. We just went to HomeDepot and figured it out right then and there. It's basic, but it looks pretty good for not much planning. It even has two cabinet doors and four shelves. Work is very busy (all of the last minute shoppers).

Oh, side note: if anyone has any other non-profits they know of please note them in one of the comment sections. I am always looking for more non-profits to learn about. Spread the Christmas spirit and love!!

It's actually cold today in Texas! I like it!! Yesterday we got our Christmas tree and put it up with lights and the few ornaments that we have. Looks great! I also crocheted a string of lights and they were very easy to make.

I am so happy. The donation page I set up for my friend and her family really worked great! I will be able to get them the $$ by Christmas.

Today was amazing. After work I was at the same stop light that I turn at to get home and there was someone in need standing there. I was able to give him the pocket warmers that I had in my car for that very purpose. I felt so great. He was a very nice man with two dogs and I am so happy I was able to help him (even just a little).

My most recent act of kindness was I provided free lollypops to fellow apartment neighbors. I am also planning on giving needy people on the street boot warmers. I got a good idea off the internet to keep water bottles in the car and when you see someone on the street in need give them one. That way you always have something to give.

Happy Thanksgiving! I just made my first pie (pumpkin) turned out great. We also made roasted pork tenderloin, cheese bread, rice, salad, and salted chocolate chip cookies.
