It's finally Friday ya'll! This week seemed long to me... but that might have been the excitement and stress of the final two games of the World Series and all that, I don't know. The not going to sleep until 1 AM on Thursday morning surely compounded that feeling and being woken up by a rogue pergola at 11:45 on Thursday night was also a reason...
Regardless of all that - it's the weekend! And oh yea, my Washington Nationals are STILL WORLD CHAMPIONS!
One. It's November - The month of thankfulness, turkey and the hectic run up to the Christmas season has arrived. My little sister likes to remind me it's also the month I became a big sister and she's right, so that is also a plus for this month. I cannot believe it's already turkey season once again - I'll be over here trying to soak it all up! Even if I'm maybe... possibly... listening to Christmas music while I do all the soaking!
Two. Road Warriors & Rule Breakers - Just buckle up y'all, because I'm going to be excited about this one for a while! At least until April 2nd of 2020; which is Opening Day at Nationals Park, and then I'll just be excited forever about it... ha-ha!
The Nationals became the first team in history to secure all four wins needed to become World Series champions on the road and they are only the 7th Wild Card team to win the World Series since the Wild Card era began in 1995.
The final game of the World Series marked the fifth time in the post season that the Nationals trailed in an elimination game and came back to win. They also took on two 100+ win teams (the Dodgers & the Astros) to secure their title of Champions. This team - they don't know the word quit! Wow!
Three. Weekend Plans - Well, I'm not sure what I'll be getting up to tonight but I do plan to have dinner at Regions 117. It's a local spot (like - in my neighborhood local) and they have a new Autumn menu with some really lovely decorations too! I can't wait to check it out and eat some delicious supper!
Saturday is World Series Parade day in DC and I'll be making my way into the city to join the sea of fans dressed in red to cheer on my beloved Nationals! I still cannot believe that my team won the World Series and I will be attending a World Series parade. A once in a lifetime experience - to be sure!
I'm not sure what I'll get up to on Sunday but I'm contemplating a movie. I'd like to see The Current War & Harriet... and both are playing in the area right now! Who knows - only time shall tell!

Four. Funnies - Y'all know I always have a couple things here and there that made me giggle throughout the week and so I'm sharing them with you today! I didn't miss work yesterday because of the World Series but this did make me smile... so did the four cups of coffee I had at work!
Yes - I am one of those people that jump into the Christmas spirit the minute Halloween ends. No shame in my game! You can be thankful all day long while listening to Christmas music and that is who I am!
Five. Halloween Things - Last but not least, some snaps from my Halloween! Before the final season of Game of Thrones aired in April/May of this year, my co-workers and I decided that if all three characters we dressed as two years ago: Melisandre, Cersei and Daenerys - died in Season 8, we'd dress as them how they died.
The only one we weren't certain about dying was Dany - but Jon took care of that in the finale and so our costumes were set. It's harder than you might think to figure out how to make a costume that indicates you've been buried under rubble - but I think I did just fine!

I did look pretty funny later in the afternoon when I took off the costume and still had blood and rubble dust smeared all over my face! Oh well! As is our tradition, family friends and their little people came over to have dinner and trick or treat - which was cut short by some strong storms that moved through the area.
We had plenty of fun making faces, talking to to pup and sorting through the Halloween candy they did manage to collect before they ended the night making "snow angels" in the rug! I mean - I suppose snow will be on the horizon soon too, right?

That's all I've got for this first day of November! I cannot believe that there are just two short months left of this year - got to soak it all up!
