What I'm Dreading

Nothing at the moment!

What I'm Working On

In Recruiting: A challenging job right now but love that I am stepping up my recruiting game again

In Real Estate: I also scored a new buyer so helping her find her next home!

 

What I'm Excited About

Halloween This Week!

What I'm Watching/Reading

Still working our way through Friday Night Lights

Abbott Elementary returned so have been loving watching that again

I also just started binging One Tree Hill

Some recent watches also included "I Am Not A Monster: The Leslie Greiss Murders", "Woman Of The Hour" and "The College Tour"

and my two books for October were

The Secret Life Of An Uncool Mom- Serena Terry

                                                           

Tara Gallagher is knackered. She used to dream of being Beyoncé but suddenly she’s thirty-six – with three kids, a loving husband, a very boring job – and instead of headlining Coachella, she’s in her pyjamas on a Friday night, watching cheesy TV.

It’s time for a mommy makeover. She’s going to show her teenage daughter she’s still cool. She’s going to show her husband she’s still an absolute ride. She’s going to show her colleagues she’s still a Boss Bish.

But most of all, she’s going to prove to herself that she can still be a mom, still work full time, and still be Beyoncé…

 

 This was cute...it was compared to the Class Mom series but it didn't measure up in my opinion

 

 

 and Here One Moment- Liane Moriarty

 

 The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.
 
There’s the well-dressed man in seat 4C who is compulsively checking his watch, desperate not to miss his eleven-year-old daughter’s musical. Further back, a mother of two is frantically trying to keep her toddler entertained and her infant son quiet. How did she ever think being a stay-at-home mom would be easier than being a lawyer? Ethan is lost in thought; he’s flying back from his first funeral. A young couple has just gotten married; she’s still wearing her wedding dress. An emergency room nurse is looking forward to traveling the world once she retires in a few years, it’s going to be so much fun! If they ever get off the tarmac. . . .
 
Suddenly a woman none of them know stands up. She makes predictions about how and when everyone on board will die. Some dismiss her. Others will do everything they can to make sure her prophecies do not come to pass. All of them will be forever changed.
 
How would you live your life if you thought you knew how it would end? Would you love who you love or try to love someone else? Would you stay married? Would you stop drinking? Would you call up your ex-best friend you haven’t spoken to in years? Would you quit your job?

Dreadfully slow in my opinion- I had high hopes- she is such a great author but this one was painful for me to finish

 

 What I'm Listening To

 

My Usual Playlists PLUS Taylor Swift Essentials....of course ;)

 

 

 What I'm Wearing

A Little Lilly for the Real Estate Party

Black Dress for Team Will- It was fun to get dressed up and go into Boston for some new Team Will Photos for Our Website...Robby B was our photographer and we had a blast...put on a dress that doubles as recruiting and real estate attire- can't go wrong with a simple black dress right?

 

Old and comfy clothes for the gym- I had to edit this shot so you couldn't see my rude gesture- we have an ongoing joke with my bestie Lea and Tony wanted to take my pic to send her ;)

 A Leather Dress was the base of the Dark Angel Costume- hey it worked

 and the puffers were back out for a Date Walk this week

 

What I'm Doing This Weekend

 

I am soooo excited about this coming weekend!  I think I am more excited than Diana is- ha!

Friday Night is the last regular season football game so a few Mamas and I are going to dinner and then the game.  Saturday Night is HOCO so I will be helping Diana get ready that day and Sunday is her first cheer comp!  I am giddy!

 Shots of the HOCO Dresses the last 2years :)

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month

All of the Thanksgiving Traditions- can't wait to be surrounded by my people! :)

What Else Is New?

I think I covered it all!

Favorite Recent Amazon Purchase?

 

Magnesium Spray

 

This was recommended to me at Book Club and dare I say it is helping with my sleep?  Anyone else out there have great results with this?

 

So What's Up With YOU?
