It is Tuesday and I actually have a lot of favourites already! Well, it is now in the early morning hours of Saturday, and it is Thanksgiving Long Weekend here in Canada. We are headed up to the ranch in the morning. Looking forward to family, food, football (not really), fellowship, foliage, family, more food, faith, and fun.. So, let's get started!
1) My new favourite song is "What He's Done". I LOVE it! I found it on Andrea's blog/IG when she posted a video about her daughter singing in their church choir. I had to find the song (I actually had found it awhile back, but when I saw it again, I wanted to know what the song was, so I picked up my sleuthing hat a decided to find out...via finding out their church, finding the song, etc....). I absolutely love the song!!
2) Our church had a game night on Saturday, and it was a hoot. We played Jenga, and some people played Taboo, and the kids played Laser Tag upstairs. A couple of other people and myself started playing Yahtzee, and then we had to pack it up. LOL. We had food, which is always a good thing!
3) A friend and I went for a wine tasting at a local winery on Sunday. The tasting itself only took a few minutes, but we sat and and drank a cider outside and chatted outside in the cool, crisp fall air for two hours!!!
4) Coffee with a friend on Tuesday! As of early Tuesday morning, this hasn't happened yet, but it will. Well, it is now late Friday night, and I am trying to finish this off, so I can post it before I leave for the ranch tomorrow (Saturday). Coffee with my friend on Tuesday was wonderful. It had been ages since we had gone out for coffee together, and we had a lovely time :) I had a couple of movie nights with my next door neighbour, Emily this week, too. I also had a coffee with my respite client/friend at a local coffee shop. I have gotten bread and treats from them before, but I don't know if I had ever sat and had coffee there. I had a steamer and a cream puff. Yum!
5) Fall leaves are well, falling, and changing. Also, Jim Gaffigan does a funny sketch on fall and the leaves, which is pretty funny (and accurate). I love the cooler weather; the days are perfect; crisp and cool, and nights are definitely feeling more fall/winter.
6) Waking up to extra money in my account on Wednesday was most definitely a FAVOURITE! That was totally God!!! I tithed a few days prior (I have a hard time doing it, but I know that is what Jesus wants us to do; so I do it "when I can"-which is a bad excuse, I know), and when I woke up to what I thought was going to be MAYBE a $100 in my account was a bit more than that :)
7) I found a cute new weather app; called Weather Kitty. It is so cute! It has pictures of kitties that coincide with the weather and the time of day. I read about it in a cat magazine, so I thought it would be fun to try it out :) Of course, there is always a "premium" (pd) option, which is much more fun; with fun pictures, etc. But I won't give in to that (though I do love me a premium account on Spotify!). I also downloaded a couple of more apps this last week, but I haven't had the chance to really explore them yet, and one isn't even working.
8) Good/New TV is back; and that makes me happy. I will probably do a TV post soon, to talk about all of my hours of useless TV that I watch :) I only found out a month or so ago that this will be New Amsterdam's last season! They announced that back in the spring, and I have recollection of reading/hearing that anywhere. I just now finished the last 8 or 9 episodes of The Resident from last season! Can you believe that I went all summer without finishing last season?? I just wasn't in the mood to watch them until a few days ago. Weird, I know. Also, who else thinks that the girls who play Luna (NA), and GiGi (TR) are the most adorable things you've ever seen?
9) Ginger Peach / Peach Ginger juice is one my favourite drinks. My brother told me about it this summer, so I grabbed a pack (actually, I grabbed one out of their fridge before to try it out), and it is delicious! I bought a pack yesterday; and I am loving it! I don't think I had posted on IG or FB before (and certainly not on here), that I found my new favourite drink. It is from the PC Brand (Loblaw's' store brand), and it is delicious. Is it pop? Is it iced tea? Is it juice? Who knows? It is DELICIOUS!!
10) Getting healthier/Walking, etc. I am trying to do a bit more walking, and taking my BP more. I also think I have lost a few pounds, so that is always a plus :) I am also in a couple of health programs (am I doing a great job at following them? Maybe....), but at least I am trying :)
10.1) Finding out when W Network will air their Countdown to Christmas movies was most definitely a favourite from this week. I may or may not still have Christmas movies from last year that I haven't watched yet :) It starts October 21st. Not that I am counting, or anything! I am pretty sure that they started earlier last year (I think that was the first time that they had started C2C that early). I like that they are still airing fall themed-movies for at least some of October :)
Linking up with Andrea and Erika for another edition of Friday Favourites!
This blog post has been put together at different points throughout the week (well, at two points). I started one the main faves on Tuesday, and I elaborated on them (and added more info) today. Basically, this wasn't done in one linear post. Also, I want to get this out on the link-y thing, so I am not going to link anything now, but I might post some links later this weekend. Have a wonderful (Thanksgiving/Long) Weekend, everyone!
