Ten on Tuesday

1| The first day of November. Absolute craziness. We're down to what...8 weeks until Christmas. I'm not ready. I need an injection of holiday spirit, I guess.

2| I am happy though that my entire family is going to be together for both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. I don't recall this ever happening since my siblings got married. Now, that's something to be thankful for. Makes me very, very happy.

3| This month we'll see 11.11.11. I'm a nerd and think it would be fun to commemorate it somehow. Maybe give out 11 compliments. Or send 11 letters. Other ideas?

4| I'm going to have to make some very tough decisions in the coming weeks. Being an adult is just really hard sometimes. If you're the praying kind, I'd certainly appreciate if you would send up a prayer or two for me. Many thanks.

5| I purchased Ali Edwards' latest self-paced class called Storyology. She shares the techniques and ideas she uses for getting more stories told. Her classes are very affordable and truly enjoyable to listen to.

6| I did a deep clean of my home on Sunday. I even dusted, which I never do. Feels good to start the week off fresh.

7| My brother and his family got me this awesome bag for my birthday. Great quality. Fun design. Perfect size. I love it. If you're looking for a nice bag for yourself or as a gift, I'd definitely check out 1154 Lill Studio. You can even design your own bag.

8| I'm obsessed with green tea these days. I'm drinking several cups a day. It's supposedly good for you though, right?

9| I turned my heat on for the first time this weekend. Ugh. I was trying to wait until November, but I was curled up in a comforter with several layers of clothing and shivering, and I thought this is ridiculous, so on it went.

10| I'm looking forward to this weekend. I'm going out on the town with my parents, my sister and my niece. We won't get too crazy, I promise.
