5 Fun Things
1. They’re here!!! Could there be anything more fun than the Starbucks holiday cups? Every year I’m excited to see the new designs. The crazy thing is… I don’t even get the fancy drinks. I just keep drinking my Earl Grey tea- but out of a festive cup. Speaking of which… 2. Hello, Christmas mugs! My fall mugs at home suddenly looked so blah… so I got out the Christmas mugs! So bright and cheery. 3. I ordered a planner! My At-A-Glance planner was perfectly adequate this year, but I wanted something a little more luxurious for 2026. I think I’m really going to like this one- I’ll report back when it arrives! 4. This podcast… On the Currently Reading podcast, Meredith and Roxana are doing a series of deep dives into Louise Penny’s books. This month they discussed The Long Way Home, which happens to be the last one I read. I like Louise Penny but don’t LOVE her like a lot of people do. Interestingly, it seems this book was not a favorite for many people, but I liked it. Meredith and Roxana’s discussion was so thoughtful and interesting, it’s giving me a new and different appreciation for Louise Penny! Now I want to read the next book in the series, so I’m ready for the next episode. Speaking of books… 5. This book is fun! Phew- I was worried it would be TOO light and frivolous- but so far it’s just right. Not great literature, but well-written enough, with lots of fun plot lines to keep me reading. It’s exactly what I needed right now. Do you like the Starbucks seasonal drinks? What do you think of the cups this year? Are you reading or listening to anything fun right now?
