1st draft Due date: Nov 25th, 2020

Final due date: Dec 14th, 2020

Requirements:

1. The thesis is based off of your major. Luckily, I have 2 so I tried to incorporate both into one paper.

In Monday Things...

First off, Happy Birthday to the best big sister and Auntie TJ ever! Yesterday we celebrated with the family, and tonight we eat Pizookies! Favorite moment of yesterday is when the little girls harassed their lolo. Being a grandpa looks good on my dad. <3 Also, we need to get Noah to realize that not every birthday cake means he gets to blow out the candles!

My mom’s bday is on Thursday, so I see a lot of eating in the my future. This has been the story of my life for the last month. 

Today it was back to our regular schedule. Noah did OK going back to school today, here’s to hoping Maddie is the same when she goes back tomorrow. I was ready to get us back into some type of routine!

After this week, I will officially have 12 weeks until baby Emily. Still crazy how fast this pregnancy has gone. My goal this week is to take my first bump picture. The holidays helped this bump along..lol.

I’d like to clear something up: when you binge watch something, you mean you watch an entire series all in a row, in one sitting? HOW? It took me two full weeks to watch Ozark, and I was proud it only took me that long. 

Speaking of Ozark, since the lake is just about an hour from here, I spend quite a bit of time there. When the show first debuted, most of my friends who live at LOTO* were all indignant, saying it isn’t at all representative of the lake, blah blah blah, and yeah, obviously it isn’t representative of the lake I personally experience. But rural Missourians? Spot fucking on. (Minus the highly organized crime, plus a lot of amateur meth cooks.)

While I agree Meghan Markle is a delight, I’ve never been able to muster even the tiniest iota of interest in the royal family, which is why I had to google literally everyone when I started watching The Crown yesterday. It’s gonna take me a lot longer than two weeks to watch this one, probably.

I take Jack to our neighborhood park for his morning walk, usually right at sunrise. We’ve been seeing this owl on occasion, and I LOVE HER.

I don’t know if said owl is male or female, so it’s entirely possible that I LOVE HIM.

I’ve always heard it’s a bad omen to see an owl in the daylight, so of course I had to research, and good news! Barn owls hunt at sunrise, too. themoreyouknow.gif

I smudged my house Saturday night, went to bed by 11 every night over the weekend, and didn’t drink at all, so I’m going in to the week feeling invincible. If only I was smart enough to take care of myself like this all the time.

The last two weekends have been so, so nice, weather-wise. It’s much easier to handle winter when there are intermittent warm days throughout. 

I tried Taco Bell’s nacho fries, and was mostly underwhelmed. I’ll stick with plain nachos, I suppose.

Sometimes I think I spend the most Facebook time just turning off notifications for this or that. 

Happy Monday Lovelies!

I just posted CHAPTER FOUR of my Christmas Fic! Go check it out, squeal over the fluff and leave some love on it! 

Ive been loving the pictures of when you guys get your cards! Love that the card/ ornament made you smile! 

Just a quick writing update, because I have been getting lots of questions about my writing schedule!

The Christmas fic will be updated every day up until Christmas, and then maybe a bonus New Years Eve chapter?? 

I wont be answering prompts or writing quick fics for the holidays, things are very busy with my baking and I just wont have the time! Sorry loves!

I will be taking a break from writing from Christmas through about mid January, I am scheduled for a surgery at beginning of January and dont want to start a fic, and then you guys have to wait for updates until Im healed up!

HOWEVER I will be re-editing several of my older fics during my break, so keep an eye out for updates on that. 

All this month and up through January I will be cleaning up my AO3, my Fic Masterlist, and adding additional links to my profile to make reading easier/ explain my ABO verse/etc. I want my blog/writing to be as accessible and easy to fall in love with as possible!

So I dont know what Tumblr is doing, but I seem to not be getting several asks these last few days-- if you send me an ask and I dont reply within a day, please send it again or message me, ESPECIALLY if you asked a question or anything like that!! I hate missing out on talking with you guys!

Thats it! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!
