With Halloween having come and gone, I think it's time for all things Christmas...isn't it? I actually had to wear one of my lighter winter coats this week! Not something to be happy about...I don't want to freeze every time I go outside now! At least my favorite Hallmark Christmas Movie Extravaganza has begun and will be gracing my TV 24/7 pretty soon 😉 That always makes this time of year 100x better!
Did you do anything fun for Halloween this week? Did you dress up? No, I didn't, but at least I had a few scary movies playing over the weekend and of course the Halloween marathon AMC plays on Halloween! But I kept it super low key this week getting a lot of work done, while also going through a flare-up so I haven't been feeling super swell over here :/ Hopefully you're having a brighter week AND you know to get ready to sadly change those clocks on Sunday :O
