+Who watched Sunday's Homeland? Stupid Homeland. Within 45 seconds, all my hopes had hit the ceiling and my jaw had dropped…and then it was ripped out from under me. Also, Scott watched it before I did and he let me go along with that ending, insinuating that it was indeed what it appeared to be. Ridiculous. I've never been so let down before. Except during the Dexter finale, maybe. That was pretty awful.
+I decided to finally update my Goodreads account the other day because I do need a tracking system of sorts. I added all the books I've read this year and rated them. I also got sucked into reading Divergent reviews because Divergent was one of those books I started and never finished. There were some particularly intriguing one-star reviews. Give it a go. Kept me busy for awhile.
+I have 5 more books to go before the year's up. I've been cruising Amazon looking for some recommendations and I keep stumbling upon The Best Yes. Apparently it's the new "it" book in the Christian circles. However, the description says it's about how to say yes to God and not feel obligated to say yes to everyone else. I'm not a "yes-person". I don't feel the need to be a people-pleaser at all. If anything, I'm a "no-gal". Let's start that as a hashtag, okay? #nopersonnotayesman….Therefore, I probably won't be reading this book. I did read one of the author's other books once and it was okay.
+I don't really want to admit to this, but here goes: I've watched like 30 episodes of Revenge since last Friday. I know I said that it's one of those shows I don't watch and don't care to watch, but I started back in 2011 and was enthralled with the first few episodes. Then I lost interest and never regained it. Also, I have trouble watching shows from week to week. Especially network shows where there's 2-6 week breaks between new episodes sometimes. Interest = lost in that case. I picked it up again because Hostages was over and I was bored. Anyway, can I say that I cried when she had to give up the puppy when her dad was arrested? It was terrible. And then, farther into the first season, when he winds up on Emily's porch? I was in ugly tears.
If my dogs ever die, I think I will too. That's what I took away from Revenge. Sorry for the spoiler, but that episode is like 3 years old.
Anywho, it's like Gossip Girl with guns. Going back to my plebeian lifestyle on Monday was rough.

+While we're crying together, here's a sob story…I started crafting a Thanksgiving menu and realized it's just me and Scott. No guests. Because we don't really have any friends here. People are weird about being friends and hanging out when you live 30 minutes outside of town. Scott always talks about how awesome our kitchen is going to be (and man, it really already is) and I'm like, "Yep, we'll get to enjoy it all by ourselves". It seems like we always had people at our house in Missouri. I got used to that.
…who wants to visit Colorado?
+I started my Christmas shopping over the weekend. It's so tricky because Scott's birthday, my mom's birthday, and my mother-in-law's birthday all fall within the month before Christmas. Plus, I've got to get everything in the mail this year. Too much to do….
+Blog-posting has been a little off this week, I suppose. It's cold and snowy here and I'm just worn out. Maybe I'll be back at it next week. Weekends can be just as stressful as the weekdays because I feel like there's so much to accomplish. However, I could possibly whine all day about weather, and work, and…whatnot. So, I won't.
Here's to Thursday!
