Five on Friday - November 2, 2018

Hello!  It's the end of the week so that means it's time for this week's Five on Friday.  Can you believe it's November already?  Before I start thinking about that, let me share my five for this week ~

1.  Free Reusable Red Holiday Cup
Now that the weather is getting cooler, do you find yourself sitting in the Starbucks drive through a bit more?  Or with all the holiday hustle and bustle do you need a shot of their caffeine to get through the day?  Well, Starbucks has your back!  Today only (November 2) ordering a holiday beverage will score you a FREE reusable red holiday cup, while supplies last.   To make this deal a little sweeter, bring this cup back to Starbucks for any Grande-sized holiday drink order after 2 pm between November 3 and January 7 to get 50 cents off.  What a deal, huh!  Gingerbread Latte anyone?!?

2. Daylight Savings Time Ends
Raise your hand if you're ready for an extra hour this weekend!! Saturday night (well, technically Sunday morning at 2:00 am) we turn the clocks back an hour. That also means that today on your drive home from work suck up all the daylight you can because come Monday we'll be driving home in the dark. Which I hate. But what I don't hate is having an extra hour this weekend to squeeze in just a bit more fun!

3.  Bohemian Rhapsody
The long awaited Queen movie opens today and I'm crossing my fingers that it's better than the critics are saying it is.  We (me and Eric) are looking forward to getting a peek into Freddie Mercury and the history of the group Queen.  Here's how Rotten Tomatoes sums up this flick ~

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury's lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

4.  Prime First Reads
Are you an Amazon Prime member?   If not, I'll get to that in a minute.  If so, have you taken advantage of the First Reads program at the beginning of each month?  I love it!  The deal is at the beginning of each month, Amazon sends you a list of six books.  You can pick one and get it for FREE just for being a Prime member.  I'm still trying to decide my pick for this month.  Here's the titles for this month ~

 

Now let's chat about if you're NOT a prime member.  With the holidays upon us, this is the perfect time of year to get it a 30-day free trial.  Cut the stress of shopping and delivery times.  Shop from your couch and your items will be waiting for you on your porch in two days without added shipping costs!  Click HERE for your 30-day free trial offer.

5.  Some days....

As an added bonus, I'm throwing in this graphic from Vivino today. If you're wondering what pairs with all that Halloween candy laying around your house, here's your answers.

Okay guys - peace out.  We're headed off for a few days with my parents to enjoy the covered bridges of Parke County, Indiana and hopefully some beautiful fall leaves.  Pop back in on Monday to get the recap.
