Bookworm Wednesday – November

I’m honestly still in shock that it’s November. Yes, it felt like August when August came around. It felt like September. It felt like October. But it just doesn’t feel like November. I just love this month though.

And that’s exactly why. I mean I love October, November, December. Those three months are my favorite time of year. Because…family. You all know i’m all about family. So put that together with family, the happiness of the holidays, the weather, and you’ve got one happy Molly! 🙂

And now that it’s the first Wednesday of November…

…it’s time to get our Bookworm on.

I had a lot going on this October and didn’t get around to reading anything other than textbooks and articles to write papers on (again). So instead of telling you what I didn’t read…this is what i’m planning on reading this month. That’s if I can ever stop binge watching this:

I watched an entire season this weekend and I have #noshame. My goal has been to get caught up so I can watch this season as it’s been airing. All of my free time was spent eating leftover Halloween candy and Scandal watching on Sunday. And Saturday too. Ha!

Oh yes, back to what we were talking about. So when i’m not watching Scandal this November (i’m really going to try and back off a little bit), i’m planning on reading/ordering these books below.

1. I want to finish up something borrowed. I started it month’s ago and it’s been on my Bookworm posts ever since. I really need to just finish it.

2. Elin Hilderbrand anything.

I’ve seen in Shay’s book posts that she (and many others) love Elin Hilderbrand. So I figured I might as well give her a try and see if I like her books too!

3. Paul Miller’s A Praying Life

My pastor spoke about this book one Sunday and i’ve been wanting to read it ever since. Actually, any book he recommends I usually want to read.

Don’t forget that all the books i’ve read in the past are on my Shop My page. You really need to check them out. Such great deals!! Okay, so tell me what else I need to be reading. I need to order some more books…today!! No seriously, i’m probably placing an Amazon order today so help a girl out!

Please and thank you!

Friday Favorites: An Average Week

Happy Friday Favorites day, friends!! Link up with Andrea, Erika, and Narci this morning’. I’m playing Pollyanna’s glad game again this week. And, i’ve got a new little graphic for this month 🙂

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloweenie! On Friday, I wore my scary costume to class. Booooo longhorns! And after hanging out most of the morning I ended up working the night shift. I was so glad that I was able to leave early to hand out some candy to kiddos in my neighborhood. I felt like their favorite person in the world!

Cold weather.

Halloween was the first official cold day around here. And to celebrate how happy I am that it’s finally chilling out in this area, I took a bubble bath after work in the morning and made some hot chocolate. Welcome, November. I’m so glad you’re here!!!

Dog-sitting.

I was dog-sitting/house-sitting all weekend and on Sunday morning in the super windy and cold weather Ryan and I took Daisy on a walk. She was so excited, but then her nose started running so we brought her back inside. It was some quality time with my brother and we were both glad we could do that because we’ve never had a dog before. *GASP!*

And a special treat for you, check out this hair. Someone enjoyed that extra hour of daylight savings time!!!

 

#nannylife

So one of the many perks of being a nanny is this sight. My siblings and I are all too old to go trick or treating so we only have the left-overs that weren’t passed out to take for ourselves. Between the three of the nanny kids, they have 6 buckets of candy (one outside the pantry) and this random pile sitting on the dining room table. I’m so glad I went to nanny heaven. And they must be darn pros at trick-or-treating because when my siblings and I usually went it was not THIS excessive.

Quotes.

I’ll have to admit, i’m a huge sucker for anything with quotes. I think just finding inspiration that can make you think differently. I also like seeing them again and again because they get stuck in my head. I also think you can tell a lot about a person by quotes they have around their house (if they have any). I came across this the other day and just loved everything about it. everything. I really think you’ll be glad you did 🙂

Errand day.

This was deemed errand day, where I got to run all of our town doing all sorts of things (mostly for mom). I gladly accepted the challenge and put on these “sassy pants” for it. I wore a pair of pants similar to this one night out in Norman and so many girls came up to me talking about how crazy my pants were. There, the “sassy pants” were born. I’ll show you those some other time.
