Happy November! I am so excited for November this year. More so than most other years. One of the reasons: I can finally feel normal about listening to Christmas music. Stores are getting ready for Christmas, too, putting out decorations and playing Christmas-y songs. I love it!
I love thinking about what I want to give to others and then buying it or making it. I love giving/ getting homemade/ handmade gifts. It adds a special quality and means so much more. And then I get to wrap them up. This is one of my favorite part about giving gifts for any holiday or birthday or event. I love making the present look pretty. Presentation is important.
Although it is November, the weather has been unusually warm the past few days. I'm talking 70 degrees! This has been a nice change since October seemed to be especially rainy. No matter how much I love the rain, it is nice to be able to wear shorts in November. The past couple of days I have been taking advantage of the weather change and spending time outside. Mostly I've been raking the leaves. Raking really isn't a chore for me (despite our huge yard full of trees). I love being outside, and I don't mind being a bit sore the next day from doing yard work. Raking is a great arm exercise! So is shoveling which I also enjoy doing (unless some tells me to do it). I especially love how it doesn't seem like I an exercising (and I don't feel guilty for not running -because I hate it!)
However, the unexpected rise is temperature won't last long. It is forecast to be in the 40's in a couple days. Not really a bummer for me, but surely for a lot of others.
Anyways, I hope everyone had a fun Halloween. Mine was pretty good as I spent it with my dad, visited my great grandma, and did a little bit of Christmas shopping. Now we can all sit back, relax, and enjoy some really funny "I told my kids I ate all their Halloween candy!" videos thanks to Jimmy Kimmel.
