Fall Musings

Hi, everyone! I know it’s been an age since I was last on here but I wanted to pop on before the holidays just to say hi. It was a busy summer and fall (how it is almost December!) and I just haven’t felt much motivation to blog. I know blogging isn’t really even much of a thing anymore but I still can’t give it up just quite yet.

I was able to take a couple of fun trips this year to the Pacific Northwest (Seattle and Portland) which is where I got this cute leaf heart picture. Things have still been kind of rough since my friend passed last year. This was right about the time that he went into the hospital. It’s hard but time goes on and I’ve been trying to live life as he would have wanted. He definitely wouldn’t have wanted me to be sad.

I have been reading slowly, but steadily. I find that it’s harder for me to read for long periods of time as I’ll get distracted or want to check my phone. I am not sure what I think I am missing on it while I am reading but it’s a compulsion I think many people have. Trying to break myself of it. I am also right in the midst of holiday shopping. Black Friday sales are going strong. Which reminds me that I wanted to check out Barnes and Noble today to see what signed editions they have. We started a book club at work just last week so that’ll be fun. I found some people there who love reading as much as I do and we are planning our first meeting to be at the all romance bookstore, The Ripped Bodice.

I went and saw the Wicked movie a couple of days ago and loved it. I was trying to keep my expectations low just in case, but I really enjoyed it. The costumes were especially amazing and I’d love to see it again so I can get a closer look at them. Next up on my movie watch list is Moana 2.

Sorry this has been such a short check in but I hope you’re all well and thriving. I’ll try to come back with more soon (no promises). Let me know what your favorite book has been so far this year. I’d love to add more books to my Christmas wishlist. Happy holidays!
