Moin. Good morning.
All right, everyone. Gird your loins because #Whamageddon starts today. If you heard it last week, it doesn't count. But do be more careful! May the odds always be in your favor.

Also, I spent almost all of yesterday in bed with a migraine. My felt like it exploded Friday night. It was a real doozy, vomiting, and seeing spots. Haven't had a migraine that bad in a while. I was finally feeling better this morning and went for a walk on Erste Advent. The sun warmed my face.

Moin. Good afternoon.
I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful first Advent. Even the desk calendar is in the mood.
I don't like basteln and I buy our wreath every year. Inflation definitely hit as this one cost 35€!

Who wants to put all of this away for me? Please.

Moin. Good morning.
I think the desk calendar is on to something.
Time to put Thanksgiving away and take out the Christmas decorations. Erste Advent is in two days. 😳

We had a really great Friendsgiving on Saturday, and I have been eating leftovers ever since. I also have a Fortbildung all day today, and it is Elternsprechtag at our school, which means no special plans. But I did make a pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting last night. Will enjoy a slice later!

Moin. Good morning.
Happy Thanksgiving. Or Thursday as we call it in Germany.

Moin. Good afternoon.
It was a very good Friendsgiving. 10 adults, 9 kids. We ate, drank, and laughed until midnight. The kids went outside to play Nerf guns, and the adults played cards against humanity. The food? Chef's kiss. Except for the pumpkin pie. It was underbaked.

Happy Friendsgiving from Wildeshausen

Every year is a struggle, but somehow, we make it fit. #Friendsgiving

This is Eloise. Believe it our not, she is only 8.7 kilos, about 19 pounds. Technically smaller than last year, but still pretty big!

Moin. Good evening.
Having a house full of people tomorrow for Friendsgiving. My pie crust went wonky, and the pecans are dark. But nothing a little whipped cream can't solve, I suppose!

Moin. Good morning.
I think desk calendar heard heard about Democrats in the senate caving. But, hey, the Lions won.

Who needs more coffee?
Watched Spanberger's victory speech and chuckled when she called out her daughter for not cleaning her room. That's the kind of thing I would say! 😁

Finished my first cup and now noticing my typos...
I went over to YouTube to check on the major networks and get clips of what Americans are seeing. Holy heck, Batman. What has happened to CNN?? I found this short: How will Democrats respond to Mamdani's victory? And its ... Ben Shapiro? WTF??

Moin. Good morning.
I'm doing whatever the opposite is of doomscrolling is and drinking a very good cup of coffee.

"Nightmare on Elm Street" was the movie. No one was scared. The 17 year old: It was a movie. It was made. People watched it. Such a ringing endorsement! 😆

Graveyard cupcakes, brownies, homemade pizza. All set for Halloween movie night!

Ready for Trick-or-treaters

Cheesecake Brownies, but make them Halloween-y.
I've put out some pumpkins, and I'm spending the day baking while listening to a Halloween Playlist. Love the fall vibes.
What's on your Halloween Playlist?
