It's Freaking Holiday Season!

Alright, so I know that it's November... but in my head I think there is something seriously wrong... I just got back from spending 8 days in 80 degree weather, lounging in a bikini, drinking fruity cocktails while laying in a pool....and I come back to fall!? WIERD! Not only did I come back to cold temperatures, sweaters, warm beverages and leaves on the ground....I keep seeing Christmas commercials! So I guess i'm starting to get into the holiday spirit, but all I can focus on is finding a new winter coat! My one that I wore the last 2 years is now a bit too big and has a tear in the lining so I always end up sticking my arm in the wrong hole! The coat I want this year...is this one...
I LOVE it in white....
Black wouldn't be a bad idea either....
 
 Or maybe blue?
Sigh.... now I just need to find a nice coupon for it and I will be adorably stylish all winter long!

Right now my favorite thing about Fall, is the beautiful/amazing weather we have been having here in Missouri. A perfect light crisp breeze. Not too cold, not too hot. I've been spending time sitting outside while the dogs crunch around in the leaves. We have a little bench and i go outside, sit and read my kindle. It's so wonderful! And I know its only going to be possible for a little bit longer, because Kansas City weather is anything but predictable and tomorrow it could be -10 degrees and snowing! My Kindle has been my favorite purchase as of late, and I have loved reading it non-stop! Right now i'm reading Deception Point by Dan Brown, which has actually been really interesting!!! Over the last few weeks that i've owned it I have read....
The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins: It may be young adult fiction, but it was a GREAT series! Full of surprises, twists, turns and a lot of imagination the series leads you through a gritty world of rules and government control. LOVED it! It is also in the works to produce a movie based upon the series. They are saying it is going to be the next twilight! Prepare for Team Peeta vs. Team Gale!
I re-read the Harry Potter series (the last 2 on my Kindle)  to prepare for the movie release this month! I can't wait to see it, and I am sooo glad they have decided to turn it into two seperate movies. I just can't wait to see the cinematic take on this final book. It of course will not be as good as the book, but im sure they will have to change a great deal to make it all happen so i'm excited to see what they do.
 I also read Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, and am now reading Deception Point (my kindle says i'm 50% done) I had been meaning to read Angels & Demons for awhile, and it was really good! Although, I wish I had waited to watch the movie and not given into temptation since I had a good idea of what to expect and there was very little surprise. Deception Point has been really interesting as well and I think its starting to really get good! I'll let you know when I finish it! I think next i'll read Digital Fortress, and then start up the much anticipated Dragon Tattoo series. :)

Hope everyone is having a fabulous week! I'll be heading off to the gym in a moment to get my sweat on! I'm not letting myself get out of shape post-wedding! I have a husband to keep interested! hahaha
Alright, have a great day everyone!!!!!!
