R - Reading
I finished listening to The Third Gilmore Girl, Kelly Bishop’s memoir. I’m still reading Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks and Frozen II: Forest of Shadows by Kamilla Benko, a middle-grade novel based on Disney’s Frozen franchise.
E - Eating
Savory bowtie chicken pasta with black olives. If you’ve never tried savory, it’s a delicious seasoning!
P - Playing
I’m finally picking up the TV shows I put on pause when we were without power and the internet. This week I played catch-up on Season 4 of Only Murders in the Building.
O - Obsessing over
Trader Joe’s Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars. TJ says these are great for your desk drawer and I agree. If you plan to pass out Halloween candy, you might want to pick up a few bags. They’re more affordable than the name-brand chocolates.
R - Recommending
Spending more time outside. Our highs finally dropped into the low 70s and this week has been a breath of fresh air. I ate lunch outside most days this week!
T - Treating myself to
Lunch at the mall before eye exams with my daughter this afternoon. It’s time to see if she needs glasses too.

Did you like the Kelly Bishop memoir? I have a hold on the audiobook at the library and am excited for it!
Hooray for cooler weather! We're expecting high 70s this week and I feel a bit of whiplash about it after a week of 40s 😂
