Oh Hey, November!

Ah, Halloween has come & gone and I can not only find these cookies at the store but I can buy them without feeling guilty.

 

Sorry, Thanksgiving, but these cookies had to be purchased.

 

I spent the entire weekend in Columbia this weekend. I wasn't off gallivanting to Charlottesville like I wanted to be. There was no home Clemson or South Carolina game. I didn't drive down to Kiawah. It was nothin' but Columbia.

 

Friday night was my favorite kind of date night with Patrick: drink/appetizer, a little shopping, and late dinner out. We ate at a hole in the wall Italian place that has been around for years {The Villa} and called it a night.

 

Saturday morning, Patrick and I woke up and went to the gym. Made a quick stop at the grocery store. I did a 3.1 mile run around the hills in the 'hood. Sounding super basic yet?

 

 

Things got fun around lunchtime on Saturday. We had invited over a few friends to watch football, eat some delicious food, and to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. That's my kind of Halloween, y'all. No need to come up with a costume idea and no need to go out in all of the Halloween nonsense.

We watched Clemson BEAT {!!} NC State and and go to 8-0 for the first time since like the 80s. In all of my many years of being a Clemson fan, the best I have ever seen them was 7-0. This is new territory for me now but I can't say that I hate it.

 

 

Want to know how Sunday went? I know you do.

 

Woke up entirely too early {thank you, daylight savings time}. Went back to sleep. Cooked a Tombstone pizza for breakfast. Stumbled across the NYC Marathon on TV and had to watch it. You couldn't have paid me money to get me to watch running before I started running but seriously, that stuff is addicting now. May or may not have taken 4 naps. Kept track of my friend Josh as he ran the NYC Marathon.

 

 

It was a truly lazy, sleepy Sunday. I blame the rain and daylight savings time.

 

Don't worry though, this type of weekend will not be the norm for me. Not yet at least.

 

November is a big month:

Clemson vs FSU this weekend

USC vs Florida next weekend

an engagement party in our honor on Kiawah the following weekend

then Thanksgiving and THE game of the season: Clemson at USC
{& maybe 3 5Ks within 4 days?}

 

Hey, November, can't wait to see what you have in store!

{fingers crossed that it includes a 12-0 Clemson team when it's all said and done!}
