I love dogs!
+30 minutes of walking from last night. Updating from the car on the way to IKEA. Anyone else listening to Christmas music already?

Not here. I find it hard to get into Christmas before Thanksgiving. (Though I'm finding a lot of events and charitable opportunities happen early, so I do have jump on those!)

Good morning! For those in the US, I hope the time change isn't messing with you too badly.

Here's a round-up of funny time-change stories.

Happy Monday!

Here’s a nice story about a mistake in making a donation that led to a much greater impact.

Hi all! Finally getting back on track after a wonderful trip to WDW! I know I hit my goal for October - we averaged 5 miles a day! But for November, I'll aim for 500 minutes. Lots of park walking last Wednesday through Friday - I'll take 120 minutes there. One of my favorite things - seeing Halloween decor one night, and Christmas the next morning! They really make magic! The gingerbread house was almost done in the Grand Floridian - we got to see two burly construction workers in a cherry picker sparkling the 'snow' on the roof! So cute!
My husband and I had a lovely stroll yesterday (and brunch), so 40 more minutes there.

True confession... I've started watching Christmas movies and holiday baking shows. I no longer try to keep the holidays separate because time flies by so quickly, so there will be bits of Christmas décor here and there when I host Thanksgiving. And with the time change sun is setting at 4:45p here now, so some colorful lights will be going up outside soon.

Everyone is on the board! Congratulations to livih99 and Oneanne on reaching Benevolent Blue, and to BonnieF for jumping right in at Outstanding Orange!

It's Election Day in the US. Here's an article about an unusual "I voted" sticker design (be careful if you don't like things with several legs).

And following up on BonnieF's report, here's information about the Grand Floridian gingerbread house and other Disney holiday gingerbread displays.

Did you know that Walt Disney World welcomed more than 300 baby animals in 2023?

Yay! I love baby animals!

I have 30 minutes from last night that I forgot to add. 150/525

I'm going to take the day off tonight. I took Charles to work with me today and I spent most of my day trying to wrangle him, so I feel like I already had a workout, even though I didn’t. He's so busy for a baby who can't even crawl yet!

I've also started watching Christmas movies (thank you, Hallmark Channel!), and our Disney tree is up. We have not yet done the rest of the decorating, but I wanted to be like Disney and have Disney holiday decor up on November 1st.
