Thanksgiving ideas...

I had a super busy week working around the house, not exciting or much to talk about - got in an organizing frenzy in my office/wrapping room/gift closet and pulled everything out and got rid of a ton. Love doing that but it's time consuming!

We are getting a new roof and I spent the whole week with a giant headache from the pounding, and from Sarge barking at them non-stop! He "chases" them back and forth from inside the living room across the picture window every time they walk by outside (which is all day long!). I tried closing the curtains but he just gets behind them and keeps yelling. Super annoying.

Got a new phone and of course that also takes up a lot of time! Love hate relationship with new devices - eventually it'll be great but first I have to do some researching to learn it...

Read "The Cactus" by Sarah Haywood, another Reese Witherspoon book club choice and I'm just going to say it - I think I'm not a big fan of her picks!This is like the third book I've read based on her recommendation and have been mostly disappointed. It's fine - predictable and the characters are annoying but it's a light nothing read if you're up for that. If you read it let me know if I'm wrong! I'll go ⭐️⭐️⭐️ only because I did finish it and it's not a complete waste of time hahahah. For the record, the cover says 'fans of "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine" (which I loved) will love "The Cactus" - but that is not true!

Hope you had a great week - stop by this coming week for more recipes, crafts, reviews, whatever else I can think to make!
