Happy November!
I compiled some random stuff/thoughts on a Thursday just for fun.
Tomorrow we get to see Jennifer Welch and hopefully her friends again from Sweet Home Alabama. I love most Bravo shows and I found these friends to be super endearing. This sounds like more of a design show this time.
I had some of my Spanish students do a childhood presentation. I like to model things for them so I did my own before they did theirs. Here is a picture of me, my Dad, and my Mom. Look at the hairstyle on my mom! This was before my sisters entered the picture.
I also shared that I collected bottle caps as a child. How weird, right? I had friends and cousins that did this, too, and we would trade with each other. Look at these old glass bottle caps and look at the Tab! 
I ordered Papa Murphy’s take and bake for Halloween. It’s a jack o’lantern!
During my almost weekly TJ’s stop this week I found something that goes under the category of “bad ideas”… Turkey Stuffing flavored kettle chips. No, I did not buy these! 
A friend and I signed up for this class below at a locally owned liquor store. I’m super excited. For the last several years, I have been making my apple cider sangria or spiked cider for Thanksgiving, but I’m anxious to learn some new fall cocktails. I don’t host a Thanksgiving dinner, thankfully, but I’m known to bring a portable bar. The class is on Monday night and we don’t have school on Tuesday due to election day, so I’m excited to go out on a Monday! The time changes Sunday so it will be pitch dark when this class starts! I will be sure to share what I learn on the blog.
Thanks for reading my random round up!

Well your apple cider sangria has been a hit with everyone I’ve shared it with! Can’t wait to see what you learn and do next!

I am so excited for your apple cider sangria (I am making it for Thanksgiving). Batchable cocktails are so easy for serving and entertaining. I also make something that we call “Red Rooster” and then try to have assorted wines and beers. We usually have 30ish people over. This year is going to be a little quieter and I am all about that! Love the jack-o-lantern pizza!

Oooh! Can you give me recipe for the red rooster?
Sometimes smaller is nice! We do two Thanksgivings – one on Thursday and one on Friday.

Can you come to my house with your portable bar please? I bet everyone wants you at their parties. You look so much like your Mum – I love her hair cut. Those old bottle tops are great – love that type of nostalgia.

I would love to bring my bar to you! I’m the life of the party until 8 and then I need jammies and my tv shows! Thank you – yes my youngest sister looks most like mom. The bottle caps are so funny to me now! Can’t wait to read your faves!

Those chips. Gag.
I like the idea of making a batch cocktail. I’ve made sangria for dinner parties but that’s the extent of it for me.
