Keeping things light around here to get into the holiday spirit

I just wanted a Canadian team to win something this year

Currently reading my fifth John Irving novel.

Years ago I picked up Until I Find You on a whim and I’ve been hooked on his writing ever since.

The only time I want snow is in December and I felt like that wasn’t super common when I was a kid, but this year it seems like it has snowed everywhere already except where I am. 😩

I used eggnog instead of cream in my White Russian and now I know how it feels to be alive.

I don’t think I can continue Christmas shopping online this year. THE POP-UPS ARE KILLING ME.

Frankly I think it’s been a little too sunny the past month or so. Where’s all the winter rain I was promised when I moved to the PNW?! 😤

Look, I care very little about college football.

But oh how I hate Ohio state.

See, I think about signing up for a full marathon but I ran 14 miles on Wednesday as my last long run for the upcoming half and can’t imagine continuing training after that.

Do people still Black Friday shop? We should make that not a thing anymore.

“Okay, can’t go too hard at dinner because there are a lot of pies.”

Last year I was quite drunk and hangry by the time dinner was served, but this year I am juuust the right amount of red wine tipsy. 😁

This is the Detroit Super Bowl

My toxic Michigander trait is seeing a video of it snowing somewhere and I have to comment, “that’s decent snow, too” 😂

I just finished reading Jane Eyre, which was number 36 of the 50 novels on my classics list, and so far it’s one of my favorites.

It always intimidated me and that’s exactly why I put together the list in the first place. It’s been good to get out of my comfort zone!

Despite my dislike for Ohio, I do enjoy making buckeyes for the holidays

Apparently I took the day off to go on a long run and to get a pizza and a beer for lunch.

I’m not sorry about it.

Got my last long run out of the way for this training cycle. Bring on Thanksgiving weekend!
November 26, 2025 at 8:56 PM
Happy DB Cooper day to those who celebrate

Boy, NFL commercials are wild. A long, sad one about dementia, one weird Christian one (I only half listened but it seems like they were praying?) Are they always like this?

Burger and beer ✅
Several hours reading Jane Eyre ✅

Okay, got the Salt & Straw Parker House Rolls ice cream. Happy thanksgiving week everyone

I swear, the last mile of every long run I think “I don’t wanna” immediately followed by “okay, you’ve got this”.

It’s almost like I have to admit defeat and then I have to prove myself wrong. It seems to work though!

I don’t know whose idea it was to buy the large thing of Reese’s Pieces at Costco…but it was a good one.

Went in my run this afternoon and experienced the first wind that felt like winter. ❄️
