Well THAT was a fast week. And it’s October already…how did that happen?! Never mind Thanksgiving and Halloween, the stores are already bursting with Christmas. Every year I say I’m going to do my Christmas shopping early, and every year I do it last minute. I secretly love the crowds of last minute shoppers during the holiday season though. People are full of festive cheer, or maybe spiked eggnog…either way, it’s the one time of year that I actually enjoy shopping.
I mentioned in my bio that I’m a bit of a MAJOR bookworm so I thought I’d share my current reading material:
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book so I put myself on the wait list at the library a few months ago and it’s FINALLY my turn! I’m only a few chapters in, but I was hooked after the first two pages. It’s SO good. If you’ve read Gillian Flynn’s books, this is a must read. So far, it’s a little dark and edgy but also kind of humorous and relatable in a weird way. I’ve got a busy weekend ahead but I’m pretty excited to sneak in a few more chapters when I can. I don’t want to ready it TOO fast because it’s always so sad when you finish a really good book! Total bookworm talk right there!!
The weather’s still pretty nice so we might do a little bbqing over the weekend. I had some really delicious sangria on our cruise so I might try and throw a pitcher of my own together too. Other than that, we’ve got a birthday party, hopefully a hike, and a bunch of house stuff on the schedule this weekend. And I’ve obviously got some ripe bananas waiting to be baked into something because it IS Friday after all :).
Oh,and maybe i’ll get around to buying a little lemon tree ;).
Enjoy whatever it is that you get up to and I’ll see ya Monday!
