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 (:
I am like you, I wanting to start on the Christmas shopping now instead of waiting until the last minute. I am thrilled that Christmas preparations are about to start. Love your blog and again thanks for the nomination.

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 (:

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!
ReplyDeleteHi 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!

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!!!

I love Thanksgiving!! You are right; this month is totally going to fly by. Before we know it, it will be Christmas! I can't believe how quickly this year is going.
ReplyDeleteOh, and you can give all of your leftover candy to me. ;)
