- A few weeks ago I watched Muriel’s Weddingfor the first time just because the Netflix synopsis sounds like my life at one point — “A misfit escapes life by listening to ABBA ditties and dreaming about marriage, but when she leaves her hometown, her fantasy starts to come to life.”
- While we’re on the subject of ABBA I have to tell you that I was sorely disappointed that I couldn’t make this happen at my wedding reception.
- My brother has finished his first stint working in North Dakota. I expect him to regale me with tales of the frigid north when he returns.
- P.S. — Kyle, we will take you for sushi at one of our new favorites.
- Back on my WOE (way of eating) again and I think this time it’s going very smoothly because my husband is being more supportive in his own food choices. What a difference that makes!
- I have a new steam cleaner! (Thanks, Mom and Dad!) And I will clean your floors. For free. Or for low-carb snacks. That’s how much I love this thing.
- Fall break was nice, but it’s never long enough. I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas.
- I think I have something to look forward to every weekend between now and the end of the year. Huzzah! I love this time of year.
- Annnd, it’s only about one month until my birthday. (Hint, hint to any family members who say that I never give them birthday ideas…ahem, Mom.)
