November Currently

Two posts in one weekend... mark it down in the record books!!  But I couldn't pass up the November Currently post with Farley over at Oh Boy Fourth Grade - plus, I am already curled up with the computer in my lap - so why not??


Listening
I am curled up by the fireplace and loving the sound.  I cannot say that I am loving this cold weather though.  Where in the world did it come from?  I feel like one minute it was beautiful outside and then BAM the cold weather hit.  Ugh.

Loving
I L.O.V.E. Thanksgiving.  The family, the food, the football, the food, the games, the food...did I mention the food?  I can't wait for some mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole all mixed together with some turkey!  Mmmmm....

Thinking
This month is going to fly by!  This week is a four day week (Election Day is on Tuesday - teachers have to go, but no students), the following week is a four day week (no school for Veteran's Day), the week after that is a full week and then the last week in November is only two days (Thanksgiving break).  Where has all of the time gone??

Wanting
I had a whole two trick-or-treaters.  Yea, I know it was hard to handle all those kids.  But now I am stuck with all this leftover candy and I do NOT need to be the one to eat it.  Maybe I will go give the leftovers to the neighbor kids.

Needing
I need to get a head start on my Christmas shopping this year because I always wait until the last minute.  Not this year!  I am going to make a plan and get started on it early so that I can enjoy the days before Christmas.

Reading
I picked up the book 'Orphan Train' and just started it.  So far I like it!!

That's what I'm doing currently...how about you??  Happy November (:

    1. I love the holiday season! It gets even more exciting when the stores start putting out the decorations. I wandered around Kirklands for an hour today looking at everything (:

  2. I've been thinking about Thanksgiving food too, I'm totally in the mood for pie! The cold weather just showed up where I am too, it was 75 on Monday and it snowed here last night, what is that all about?! I guess it's just that time of year!

  3. Hi Katie! I know what you mean that this month is going to go quickly. I think the last two months have flown by. Every year I plan to get ready for Christmas early so that I can enjoy it and not get caught in the pace of Christmas projects at school, at home, etc. But this year I MEAN It! Good luck with your plan. Maybe we can help each other stick to it!

    1. I hope I can stick to it! Especially since the month is going to go so quickly - and I agree with you that the past two months have flown by. We can do this!!!
