In light of the death of David Bowie yesterday, todays  10 on Tuesday is 10 Favorite David Bowie Songs

1.  Space Oddity
2. Lets Dance
3. Under Pressure
4. The Man Who Sold the World
5. Modern Love
6. Fame

I have to admit, i’m not a huge David Bowie fan in general so I am having trouble fleshing out this list completely.  My favorite song by far, and has been for a long time, is Space Oddity.  I don’t know why I like it so…I just do.

This weeks Ten on Tuesday topic:  10 Best Things You Did in November.

I will say that it seems like it has been a long and trying month, but there is some good that happened!  Here we go!

1. Watched our Boys in Blue with the 2015 World Series!  Go Royals!
2. Sewed and gave my Grandma, Uncles and Dad pillows made from my Grandpas old work shirts.
3. Yarn adventures with Laura
4. Received TWO boxes of goodies from my awesome buddy in Ireland! (I’m in a swap group that swaps goodies from your country)
5. Elegant Dinner Party with friends, its a (delicious) tradition!
6. Bought some coveted yarn that I wouldn’t normally treat myself to
7. Was able to help out Dad before surgery and in the recovery process.  My co-workers are awesome.
8. Thanksgiving celebrations with both sides of my family.
9. Friendsgiving.
10. Survived…much credit to Josh, my friends and my furry babies.

Ahhhh…a very relevant topic this week, being Thanksgiving week in the US and all.  Without further ado:

10 Things You Are Thankful For Right Now

1. My health.  I am able to do what I need to do and take care of others when I need to.
2. My parents health.  I love them so much
3. My sister, niece and brother and law.
4. My friends – I don’t know what I would do without them.
5. Josh.
6. My furry family.  They are the best and know how to give the best cuddles, right when I need them most.
7. Music and books.  Some times you just need to get out of your head, you know?
8. Grandma’s.  Mine is awesome.
9. My job and co-workers.  They are always there in a pinch to fill in.
10. Shelter – it may not be much, but its home.

This weeks ten things prompt is one that is fresh in my mind, since we just got back from a lovely weekend getaway.

10 Things You Take In A Travel Tote Bag

1.  Knitting projects – yes projects.  I always have several going and pack at least 2 of them when I go anywhere.  I need variety!
2. My Kindle.  I have several books from the library checked out on it right now.  I really need to get on those…
3. Laptop or iPad.  Depends on where we are going and for how long, but electronics are a must.
4. Charging cables – see said electronics in #3.
5. Coloring books and colors of some sort.  I always like variety in choosing busy “work” items.
6. My camera – these days its mostly neglected but you never know when you might need it, especially if you don’t pack it.
7. Lotion – I can’t stand dry hands
8. Toiletries – the usual stuffs
9. A water bottle.
10. An emergency stash of various ailment cures like ibuprofen, loperamide and nausea meds.  Always be prepared!

So what about you?  What do you always travel with?

This weeks writing prompt: 10 Things You Did This Weekend

This is the perfect subject for me this week!  My boyfriend and I went on our first official, non family related, vacation.  Albeit a short one, it still counts!  It’s been a particularly stressful past month or so and I decided that we were leaving town.  I didn’t care where we went, but we weren’t staying home!

So without further ado:

1. Worked Saturday – they tend to be quick days for us since they are only 9-12, this one was no exception
2. Road Tripped with my dogs – first one ever!
3. Ate BBQ – twice!
4. Saw a castle at HaHa Tonka State Park
5. Saw the clearest water i’ve ever seen in Missouri – at Ha Ha State Park near the spring
6. Drove aimlessly – this was a trip with no real plan.  Just motel reservations.
7. Took pictures on said State Park adventure – my poor DSLR camera doesn’t get any attention anymore.  She needed a workout
8. Knitted – duh!
9. Read
10. Didn’t cook a single meal – it was NICE

What about you?
