The highs of my week were too many to count! So let’s make a list:
- Buying a new car. I love her so much!
- A sweet email from a blog reader who wanted to tell me how much my blog meant to her and to give me a blog appreciation gift. I don’t know how I got so lucky to have such amazing readers—I love you all dearly!
- Decorating my apartment for Christmas. How I love reading by a Christmas tree and seeing all of my beloved decorations sitting around my apartment.
- A wonderful Thanksgiving with my family. My cousin did an amazing job and I left with a full belly and happy heart.
- A three-game winning streak for my Dolphins! This season has been a struggle, to say the least, and it’s been pretty great to have a bunch of wins under our belt after thinking we’d become the laughingstock of the league.
- A whole week off work. It has been so nice to sleep in every day and relax!
The low of my week was nothing in particular! I am trying really hard not to think about work and everything that awaits me next week. It’s going to be a busy march to the end of the year.
A Reel that made me laugh was this one from Lisa Gilroy. It really makes you wonder why they named it that!
A podcast episode I enjoyed was The Flannon Isles Mystery from Stuff You Should Know. I love when these guys recap an unsolved mystery—add in a lighthouse and a mysterious disappearance of lighthouse keepers, and you’ve got me riveted!
I’m currently reading Cuff Me by Lauren Layne, which is a contemporary romance (with a really embarrassing name for the title!) and You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories about Racism by Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar.
The best money I spent was on my car! Of course it was. Have I mentioned how happy I am to have a new car?
My plans this weekend include a writing date with Mikaela and a pre-birthday dinner with Amber on Saturday night. And Sunday is my birthday! Yayyyyy!
What are you currently reading?
You had a week with too many highs to count!!! <3 What a great way to start off a blog post!!!
Loved the reel you linked to – hilarious!
I’ve read a series of heavy books and am currently enjoying a teen romance. Highbrow/lowbrow, you know?
I’ve definitely been enjoying my holiday break and am happy to hear you’re enjoying yourself, too!
Happy birthday for Sunday! I hope you have a great day
Oh, happy early birthday!! I am currently reading “Such A Quiet Place” and it’s great so far!
Hahaha, I asked Jon exactly that same question when we discussed the Kyle Rittenhouse trial… I am like, he should have gotten a manslaughter charge… and then I said “Why in the world is it called manslaughter”??LOL
I started re-reading the Outlander series (book nine came out and I need to dive into the story again). I am obsessed.
You know it’s been a great week when you have no lows and a bunch of highs to list out! That is great! Last week was not my favorite… I mean it was nice to see family, but I came down with a bad cold on Wednesday morning, Will had a fever on Thursday and Phil started to get the cold on Saturday. Add in bad nights of sleep and some frustrating experiences during the holiday weekend and I feel kind of meh about it. But like I said in my previous comment, it was really wonderful to see Paul connect with his cousins. He did not want to leave on Saturday morning which was sweet to see! But we were like – we need to get out of here and back home to normalcy/not sharing a room w/ a baby/etc.
Ahhh! I am still so excited about your new car! Yay yay yay! And I love seeing your decorations, especially with the girls in them 🙂 How nice that someone took the time to write that email. That means so much. And very well deserved!
I am finishing up Golden Girl!
This is seriously one of the Best Weeks Ever! All highs! No lows! Thanksgiving, and a new car, and football, AND your birthday? I’m glad you documented it for posterity… or, at least for as long as the internet lasts. (Apparently forever, but one never knows…:>)
