Now that it is November, 

the official start of what I like to refer to as 

“list season”, 

here is my, wait for it, 

most recent list…

Things I am ready for;

Swirling, gossamer snowflakes illuminated in the golden glow of the street lamps.

Coconut milk "Egg" Nog.

Flannel sheets, flannel shirts, flannel everything.

Baths before bed, simply to warm up.

Snuggling.

The smell of woodsmoke.

Plans for Paleo pies.

Things I am not ready for;

All. The. Holiday. Commercials.

My daughter singing Carol of The Bells over and over and over.

Shoveling.

My husband gone all weekend snowboarding.

Numb toes in the car.
