My simple pleasures: Peanut butter cups, good suspenseful movies, snuggles

What I’m planning: Now that the Halloween party is planned, I’m turning my attention to Thanksgiving.

Looking around the house: I’ll have to clean up after crop day today, but the rest of the house is in decent shape.

Looking forward to: Halloween party on Wednesday! It should be chaotic fun!
