Boom! We made it to Friday. I could really get used to these 3 day weeks and 4 day weekends. Who's with me? Let's get right to my Friday 5, shall we?
#1
Unless you live in Hawaii, Southern CA, Southwestern AZ, or South Florida you are well aware of this crazy cold snap that is currently taking up residency outside. My northern dwelling friends and family will laugh at me but highs in the 40s for Alabama is about as low as it goes in the winter time in February, so to have these temps in early November is CA-RAZY! I am loving it though because it gives me an excuse to wear all of the boots, sweaters, and scarves I want! And I am pretty sure we'll be eating soup and drinking hot chocolate all day everyday.

The only hitch to this cold is that I will be weathering it tonight outside when our football team plays their 2nd round playoff game. It's supposed to be 36 degrees with a windchill of 31 degrees at kickoff. I may end up looking like Randy in his snowsuit from A Christmas Story but I will be there! I'm actually thinking of going a different route after I found these online this morning.

I'm not sure whether to blame Eric or the cold temps but I am sure one of the two are the cause of the current situation in my head. I'm having the rather unpleasant combo of congestion/runny nose and sinus pressure. It's wonderful. I have found the more active I am, the better I feel because during those times I can actually breathe through my nose. The other night I made enchiladas for dinner and could not smell when they came out of the oven. I was holding the pan right under my nose and could smell nothing. That was the night Eric ran on the treadmill and came out like a new man. I decided I needed to feel like that so I jumped on it for a couple of miles. Miraculously my congestion went away and for about an hour afterward I could smell and taste those wonderful enchiladas. But seriously, I'm ready for this crud to move on as soon as possible.

It took me a few days but I am finally moved into and have unpacked my new office. I am loving it so far. It's quite roomy and feels more like home now that I have all of my pictures up. And that window? It's wonderful!

We are now down to less than 2 weeks until Thanksgiving and turkeys have FINALLY gone on sale so that means it's time to get down to business. I am really looking forward to it again this year, and I am starting to get really hungry for all things Thanksgiving Food-related. With Thanksgiving coming late this year we've lost an entire week between it and Christmas, which means that Christmas is a mere 6 weeks away. 6 weeks. That's a grading period when I was in school...aka NOT long at ALL. The good news is that I amazingly got a jump on my Christmas shopping this year and as I put my list together yesterday I realized I had nearly half of the items already purchased and ideas for almost everyone on my list. Of course the year I am not coaching and have time to shop in December would be the year that I have everything purchased or picked out early. Wish us luck tonight and think warm thoughts so we don't turn into icicles!
