Why This Week Was Awesome

My schedule this week has been crazy (in a good way), so I'm running behind on blogging. My goal is to post three times a week. However, with the holiday season looming, I may have to aim lower. Also, I'm changing up my approach to weekly positive energy because it shouldn't be limited to just three things.

First of all, I've had my first Starbucks Peppermint Brownie cake pop of the holiday season. They are definitely one of the things I look forward to the most this time of year. I really don't feel too guilty about having one. I'm sure the Skinny Peppermint Mocha negates the calories anyway.

Secondly, I began subbing this week. It's not exactly steady income yet. After Thanksgiving, I should be able to pick up enough work to earn my keep. I worked at a high school, which I never thought I would be comfortable with. The kids were really great though. It was more of a therapeutic school than academics and the classes were really small. Overall, it was a really positive experience that I hope to repeat soon.

Lastly, I'm up to three positive reviews for Hannah Strong, which can be viewed here. I feel blessed to have secured help from some really fantastic book bloggers. My Goodreads profile is looking a little better, but I'm still working on it. Am I the only one who has a hard time navigating Goodreads? I've never found it very user-friendly.

I hope everyone is taking a much deserved break next week and spending time with family and friends. At the end of the day, that is what is important.

Get Out!

I have never been a fan of horror flicks unless they are in the Scream series, which probably doesn't count as horror. One movie that I recall seeing was the Amityville Horror. Any house that tells me to get out is going to get its way. I've thought of this movie many times recently because I've discovered that I am virtually incapable of writing inside my house. The only way I have any success is to get out and go somewhere, anywhere else that doesn't have the threat of dishes or laundry. It's a miracle that I can sit on my couch at home and write this much. Anyone who can write at home amid distractions from kids, dogs, and burping spouses has my full respect. I have less of an attention span that the gnat that just landed in my tea, so I applaud those who can put the blinders on and keep working. With this post being the rare exception, I have to Get Out to make my mark on the world. Otherwise, I end up accomplishing as much as the clueless gnat that decided to do the backstroke in my tea.
