What I'm reminiscing about...

I've kept a few crafts that E and Q have made over the years (well really Q just made something last year), and it is nice to get them out and think about their little hands making these things.  I don't keep everything they make, but these few select things are a good addition to our decor.

What I'm loving...

My Pinterest feed.  It's a mixture of Disney hacks, vegan food, Lisbon travel tips, and Christmas cookies.  I'm not even joking - this is my current view when I open Pinterest. 

What we've been up to...

Working out, eating fairly well, decorating the house, buying gifts, raking leaves, reading Christmas books, work, school, and trying to visit with friends when we can.

What I'm dreading...

Salt stains on my boots and shoes.  This city uses so much salt on the roads and sidewalks and I was thinking the other day how you have to be so vigilant to clean it off your boots right away, and also watch your jacket when leaning against the car. 

What I'm working on...

Buying Christmas gifts and ordering everything so it will arrive on time.  I have one parcel that I've mailed and one more to go.  Keeping my fingers crossed for our Christmas cards to show up.  

What I'm excited about...

Getting our Christmas tree up.  We have all of our other decorations up so this is the last step.  Since we get a real tree it will smell so nice and I love looking through the various ornaments that we have collected over the years. 

What I'm watching/reading...

We just finished The Bodyguard on Netflix, and (spoiler alert) no one belted out the Whitney Houston song, it is a very good show!  Crime drama type show set in London. Add it to your list.

I'm reading The Girl with Seven Names.  It is about a woman from North Korea and how she grew up and then left her home.  I've put a hold on Winter Solstice (the next in the Elin Hilderbrand Christmas book series) at the library. 

What I'm listening to...

I saved a bunch of Christmas albums on my Spotify - some good ones are Carols from Clare, Michael Buble, Barenaked Ladies, and Radio City Music Hall.  This last one really makes me want to make it to New York in December some year! 

What I'm wearing...

My night guard every night.  I've had one for a long time but I never really wore it.  But when I went to the dentist in August for a filling, she said my back tooth was cracking because I grind my teeth at night.  So I started diligently wearing it after that. Now I'm getting a crown (because I'm old now).  I have a temporary crown now and I get the permanent one on Friday.  #downhillfromhere

What I'm doing this weekend...

We are going to visit Dave's parents in Sarnia.

What I'm looking forward to next month...

All of the Christmas things - parties, concerts, Santa, visitors, church services, etc. 

What else is new...

Q likes all of us to be sitting down in our seats for a meal ("Sit!") and then demands we "Eat!".  It's cute, but it's also like "relax buddy!"

Happy end of November!
