Feel Good Friday!

Happy Friday!

The above is accurate.  It's been a crazy week and I'm SPENT! I'm so happy it's FRIDAY!  Here's what I'm feeling good about...

November 29th is over!  I had three different big event things last night that I was running.  I'm glad that's behind me.  I had a bit of anxiety about it all working out. My house looks like a bomb went off, but I'll take care of that after school.

No school Monday.  I mean, I have to be here, but it's generally an easy day.

Birthday party with neighborhood friends tomorrow night!

What about you??  What are you feeling good about today?

Today's Holiday Song of the Day....

Wordy Wednesday!

Today's Christmas song of the day....

How many words can you find?

Favorite Christmas Song?

Since it's officially the Holiday season, it's totally OK to play Christmas music 24/7.  What's your fave Christmas song?

It's super hard not to say "All I Want For Christmas" from Mariah, but it seems so cliche'.  How do you not sing along to it, though????

But...if we are going with the classics, "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole is probably my all-time favorite.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire......

What about you???

Whoo Hoo....It's almost like a Thursday!

Happy Monday....and I only say happy because it's kind of technically our Thusday.  Two day week this week!

With Thanksgiving this week, it's all about the food.  What are you most looking forward to?

Turkey?
Stuffing?
GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE?? (my fave)
Dessert?


What's your fave thing about Thanksgiving dinner?

Feel Good Friday!

Happy Friday!  I don't know about you, but I'm SO happy the weekend is here! Today I'm feeling good about.....

I'm down to one kid at home until Sunday.  Oldest is at Snowball, which is a three night thing that HF does every year at Camp Manitoqua in Frankfort.  

It's Settler's Day weekend.  One of my personal nerdy fun facts is that I get a bit geeked up about reenactments.  Settler's Day isn't war-based, but it focuses on the first settlers in the area.  It's always the Sunday before Thanksgiving and I've been going to it since I was a kid.  Apparently, my parents were geeks for that kind of thing, too.  

I'm also feeling good about the fact that I'm THISCLOSE to getting all of my basketball stuff done.  I'm the athletic director for my church and we have 5 teams that have their first games in a couple of weeks.  I've been busy registering people, getting coaches in compliance with the Archdiocese of Chicago, getting uniforms fitted, etc.  I'll be happy once the season is officially underway...then things just sort of run themselves.

Lastly, but not least important....we only have TWO days next week!!!!!  

What else?  What are you feeling good about today??? 

Are YOU in the Holiday Spirit?

Are you in the holiday spirit?  I'm a firm believer that the Christmas season begins after you take your last bite of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving.  That's when we usually head over to Target to get our early Black Friday shopping on.  I won't decorate anything in my house for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but I'll admit...I've been listening to Christmas music on 93.9 since it started last week.  I'm ready!   How about you??

Wordy Wednesday!

4 Day Week! How was your long weekend?

Happy Tuesday!

How was your weekend?

Nick's 12th birthday party at the bowling alley took up my Saturday....

Sunday was lazy.  I spent the day in my recliner grading papers and doing St. Joe's basketball work.  

My kids had school yesterday, so my husband took the day off and we went to downtown Naperville to do some shopping and have lunch. 

Feel Good Friday!

Happy Friday!  It's SNOWING!

I hardly feel like the snow outside represents the scene in my Bitmoji...but it's cute...and it's Friday...and I feel good about it!

Today I'm feeling good that the next two weeks are partial weeks.  

No school Monday!

Birthday party for my youngest tomorrow - Bowling!

My aunt (Auntie Pam!) got me one of those sweatshirt/blanket things.  She's a bit addicted to QVC.  Anyhoo...I'm looking forward to spending my weekend in that thing!  It's SOOOOOO cozy!

What are you feeling good about today?  

Tasty Tuesday!

Can you cook?  What's your specialty?  What can you ROCK at making?  Are you a beast at making Ramen?  :)

I think I'm a fairly decent cook.  I make killer Jambalaya. 

Monday!

Yo!  How was your weekend?  Do anything fun?

Friday we celebrated my younger son's birthday.  He turned 12 on Saturday, but he went away for the weekend for another birthday party.  

Saturday wound up being an impromptu date night for Mr. Cal and I, as I scored SUPER CHEAP tickets to see Jo Koy at a sold out show at the Chicago Theatre downtown.  He is HILARIOUS!  Check him out if you have the chance!  

St. Joe's Basketball kicks off tonight with open gym....so it's officially basketball season in the Cal household.

How about you?  Tell me about your weekend!

Feel Good Friday!

Happy Friday, Everyone!  What are you feeling good about today?

Tomorrow is my son's 12th birthday.
NO sporting events to attend this weekend.  Not that I don't like going to them.  It's just one less thing on the agenda, so that's always good!
Hanging out with my girlfriends on Sunday.  Going to an artisan market and then to a fundraiser.

How about you?  What are you feeling good about?

Wordy Thursday
