Decoration Time?

Probably.  Maybe.  I'm a bit blah this morning and for some reason I kept picturing decorating happening on the weekend (old habits).  Truth is I can decorate ANY day.  Maybe trees up today and the rest on Monday?  Not sure.  I'll see how the day goes.

I want to take a later morning trail run and that will eat up some of the day.  Kids are flying home early from Colorado because of the weather so hubby is leaving in the afternoon to pick them up.  There's something appealing to home alone and relaxing -- that's why decorating is a big fat MAYBE.

We went to the winery yesterday.  Beautiful day, good music, leftovers picnic.  It was fun.  Also a nice break from dog duty.  We went to the bigger winery and skipped the Black Friday shopping event.  I didn't get anything at all on Black Friday.  BUT ... here's a few things I got recently.  More is coming (I bought it before Black Friday).

For my treadmill.  No more disposable for me.
Fits the holder and has a good top for running.
Lots of color choices. Amazon.

The BEST thermometer -- recommended by Nom Nom Paleo
$99.  Ouch.  Black Friday deal was 25% off.
Missed it, but glad I had it  for the turkey.
Maybe Cyber Monday will have another deal.
Also comes in lots of colors.

Pier One.
Wine is the Christmas White and
Christmas Red from the winery.

Last night I finished Succession.  As expected, HUGE twist in the final moments.  New season hasn't even begun filming.  Guess that's it for me -- HBO over for us soon.  Now for The Crown -- can't wait to start this season.

I'm almost finished A Three Dog Life.  Not for me -- but I'm super close to finishing it, so why not.  It's a memoir that seems to go nowhere.  Her husband has a head injury and is in assisted living, but I don't see anything interesting in the story.  Not moving, not inspiring, not anything ... to me.  It probably was cathartic for her to write it, but it doesn't translate to some universal lesson.  Her walks down memory lane are boring stories for an outsider to hear.  I'm empathic to her situation and so on ... just not a fan of the book.

I'm on the hunt for the next book.  Stay tuned ...

Feels like a Sunday.  I'm a day off since Thanksgiving.  I'll leave with a shot of my bed last night.  No wonder my back is stiff this morning.  Love these buggers, but 4 dogs in a bed -- two of which are snarky chihuahuas, well, it's been interesting.
