1. Ohmygosh, I'm busy these days.
2. I feel the pressure of time right now. Like there so much to do and not nearly enough time in which to do it. I'm sure part of this is invented by me. But part of it is the knowledge of what's coming up in the next few weeks and knowing how much time that will take.
3. I moved too quickly through Target today and forgot a bunch of what I needed. But somehow came home with a new pillow.
4. I feel horrible and guilty for having not yet read the proof copy of Hubby new book of poetry. It arrived this week. He asked me to read it, and I want to read it when I have time to give it my full attention, and not hop up and down 37 times to do other things. And that doesn't seem to have happened yet.
5. It's not Thanksgiving yet and I've already cried twice over Christmas related things. I heard John Lennon singing War Is Over on the radio. And I saw the words "yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."
6. There is not a Trader Joe's anywhere near me. But sometimes Hubby and I manage to luck our way into being near one. (You know, in our extensive travels.) The thing is, every time we go into a Trader Joe's, we buy junk food. And that's it. And I don't know whether I love or hate the person who invented those chocolate chip Dunkers.
7. I'm up to eight miles for my long run now. That makes me happy. Although it's slow and it's hard. And I'm not sure how much of the hardness is my knees' inability to "go" and how much of that is the extra weight I'm sporting these days. I'm still happy, though.
8. My four year old goddaughter has already told her mother that she doesn't like turkey, and she's not eating it on Thanksgiving, because it "used to be real and it still looks real." (That's my girl!) Her mom told her she's going to Aunt Chocolate Girl's for Thanksgiving.
9. The busy nature of the coming weekend made Hubby and I decide to have Thanksgiving dinner at home (and Thanksgiving dessert with the whole family). So we will be making our very first fully vegan Thanksgiving dinner. I'm excited about that.
10. I have been listening to Josh Groban's new album, Illuminations, pretty much non-stop since I got it on the day it was released. I might be kind of in love with him. Hubby and I had a talk about it. He understands. He's heard the album, too.
PS - Hubby is snoring on the couch right now. It's 6:49. I'm jealous.

Trader Joe's pepppermint oreo things are awesome. Now I need to get some. Thanks.
Congrats on hitting 8 miles...even though it's hard...you're enjoying it and that's what's important.
How do you find TJs so often? I am so jealous. I grew up with them all around me and now...nothing.
Well I'm glad you got a new pillow. That would make me super happy.
I'm also happy that Canadian's celebrate Thanksgiving in October. We're done with all that. I can't imagine combining any other holiday-obligations with the already-busy Christmas festivities that have sprung up already. I find myself looking at our calendar about a thousand times a day just to get a grip on all that is happening.
