Live Blog: Fall Weather, Vacation Books, & Fall Parties.

GOOD MORNING IT IS 55 DEGREES OUTSIDE.

Now, maybe to you that doesn’t warrant all-caps enthusiasm, but Florida doesn’t do fall weather, so I am ALL CAPS EXCITED OVER HERE.

I’ve got the windows open, my Autumn in New York station playing, and (more) pumpkin coffee brewing. Hello, is this heaven?

Speaking of heaven, after a week of vacation I’m pretty positive that reading on a beach with no plans is what I want my retirement plan to be. I read three books, and my mini-reviews are:

• The Widow: I just would really love a warning if a book involves something bad happening to kids. The back of this book made it look just like a thriller, when in reality it was about the murder of a two year old. NO. Can’t do it.
• Mrs. Everything: This book made me sob (no, really) by the pool. I finished it and put it down and cried for a good five minutes. It was really good and a really important story but it made me so sad. Definitely a good read, definitely not the best vacation choice (based on the stares I got) ha!
• Lock Every Door: Read this in 24 hours and TWISTY TWISTY TWISTY. You know I love a book that keeps me guessing until the end. This one wins.

Moving on.. I had a halloween party last weekend, and I ordered TWO costumes (you know, in case one didn’t come on time) and neither one of them came on time! So I bought some sparkly stuff and a unicorn headband at Target, and did a little DIY costume for $12. I ended up loving it!

And speaking of parties, tomorrow is my staff fall party and one of my favorite nights of the year! I can’t wait to share pictures. Last year I was a cactus (so cute) who accidentally infected my whole family with the worst stomach flu I’ve ever had (not cute). So definitely hoping this year goes a liiiiitle better. The bar is low, guys, the bar is low.

Happy Wednesday! I hope you have the best day and rest of the week!
