What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
It is a shame that having a carved pumpkin is not what it used to be. I think it's just our neighborhood that seems to lack the Halloween spirit but I actually don't see as many pumpkin carvings in general. So yeah, no pumpkin here.
ReplyDeleteMine were getting chewed on by critters so I stopped carving and putting out. I find Halloween sad as I get few trick or treaters and feels like a waste of my time. It also makes me reminiscent of simpler times which can drag me down.
ReplyDeleteWe used to put out carved pumpkins and the plastic ones with the lights built in, but haven't for several years. We'll usually buy either one big pumpkin or some little pie-sized ones for our little stoop. Not sure if we will these year with everything going up in price, but I do have a Halloween flag and mat out front as of now.
