Here are some things I’m excited about…
FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS!
I wish I could explain this in detail, but I don’t know how to do it without being incredibly boring to most people. Our state has reconfigured the high school playoff brackets, and our team is one of the eight. The first game is this Friday and it’s a home game! I will be there!!!
THE… WEATHER?
A couple days ago, our forecast looked like this:
Imagine our excitement. Look at Sunday! 47 degrees! Unfortunately, the forecast has already changed, and now our low is forecast to be 53. Okay, that’s still good. We’ll take 50s! Looking forward to the weekend.
READING
Okay, this is getting dire. I’m supposed to read seven books this month, and I’m still on #2. I just can’t seem to find enough time to read. It’s not because of NaBloPoMo (well, not entirely). Various life things keep getting in the way. I have the next two days off, and I’m determined to get a LOT of reading in, even if it means sneaking away to Starbucks for several hours. Muahahahaha.
What are you excited about this week?

Oh I love Kate Baer!! I have been meaning to read that collection!
Your HS football team was crushing it this year. I hope the playoffs go well!
That’s a nice looking weather forecast that you have there! Enjoy!!!
My current book, The Winter Rose, is so long that it feels like I’m never going to finish it, but that’s OK. I’ve been reading it for more than 3 weeks which I know because I just had to renew it in Libby. And you know what? It’s fine. I love the book and the length feels like a payoff in the investment of getting to know the characters.
I just finished Going Zero over the weekend at your suggestion and it really hooked me in!!
I’m excited to decorate for Christmas. We’ll put the tree up today or tomorrow and I am READY!
Your weather forecast looks great…well, except for all the rain! But low temps in the 50s is exciting! My weather app says our high temp next Wednesday is only supposed to be in the upper 50s, which is NOT November weather here, more like December/January. I’m helping out at an outdoor event for work that evening so I might have to bundle up!
The weather forecast looks wonderful! Perfect for curling up with an Earl Grey tea and a good book!
Coop was my best chance for a Friday night lights kid. **whomp whomp**
Maybe Dorothy will be on the dance team next year???
Kate Baer is so talented! I love her poetry. It’s so accessible. Her black out poetry is especially fun! Gosh people say terrible things to her!
I am glad you are finally getting some cool temps! It’s been unseasonably warm here lately which I am not complaining about. I was trying to plan a sledding bday party for Taco’s bday which is on 12/3. I think we are going to have to push his party until January as it’s hard to imagine having snow, or even fake snow, in 3 weeks. He doesn’t seem to mind, though.
I hope your weather holds out for your game. 50° is great football weather!
My birthday is on Saturday so I’m excited about that! It’s going to be VERY low-keyed this year, though, because my husband is having knee replacement surgery tomorrow. We’re excited to get that behind us, too!
You should read The Nightgales next because it’s so good and such a quick read (if you’re all about numbers graphic novels/memoirs are the way to go).
This weekend I have a very busy Saturday filled with fun activities that I am very much looking forward to and the following weekend I’m going to visit my friends in Michigan and the following week is Thanksgiving week. There’s so much to look forward to in November!
