- I am listening to Flea Market Flip. I am amazed that people at a flea market will pay that kind of money for the stuff these people make. I'm convinced the buyers just decide to pay that for the privilege of being on tv.
- I am loving that we got some rain. We've had such a drought here. But I do feel so bad for the people who were flooded here in central south Texas again. I can't even imagine how hard that must be.
- I'm thinking that I am glad college basketball is starting again. This year, I came up with the idea to write notes of encouragement for out UTSA Lady Roadrunners to read before away games. Five of us season ticket holders created three notes each so the team can read one before each road game.
- I am wanting willpower. I definitely ride the struggle bus when it comes to holiday food, starting with Halloween candy. 'Nuff said.
- I am needing to start Christmas shopping. I'm going to my sister's house in Alabama for Thanksgiving and plan to take the Christmas presents with me instead of trying to mail them. Yikes! That's only three weeks before I need to be ready.
- Yummy: I am in love with homemade cranberry sauce instead of the canned stuff. And it's so easy to make. Here's where you can find the recipe.
Now go visit Farley's blog and check out the other posts this month! Don't forget the Rule of Three.
I've been on the struggle bus with ALL food. I don't need a holiday for it! That's why my friend and I have to start a Whole 30 together soon. I feel awful and need to turn things around!!
ReplyDeleteLove your post! I can relate to a lot of it. I haven't blogged in a couple of months. Felt good to get a new post out. The willpower with food is my struggle too. I ride the struggle bus also. The goal is to find enough empty throw away containers to send most of the left overs home with other people this year. Happy November!
ReplyDeleteOk friend. The struggle is REAL with the candy!! When I put the twins down for a nap, I immediately when to their buckets and stole 3 Snickers and ate them in succession. I can't stop myself. It's a problem, for sure.
ReplyDeleteOur church prayed for you guys down in Central Texas with all of that flooding going on. I can't imagine. We had some major flooding down this way in the spring and we had flash flooding this weekend, but nothing too serious. I hope you were ok!
Also, I love that you and your friends are writing encouragement letters to the girls at UTSA! That is such and incredibly thoughtful thing to do! I bet they are going to be so excited!
Well, enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a good week!

I've never made cranberry sauce before, but I bet it's good. Maybe that can be my contribution this year :)

That is exactly what my husband says! They pay to be on TV! What a wonderful idea about writing the notes. The Techie Playground
