Let’s Chat, shall we?

  • Monday morning Selfie: Red pants, curly hair, and I’m DOWN 4 POUNDS OVER Thanksgiving!! What the wha?!?! (I know, right?) I got on and off the scale 5 times before I believed it. But I’ll take it. Steps slowly away from the scale.
  • Look at my new lover: A cherry red Kate Spade purse. I got her for $200 off on Saturday!! Happy Dance!!
  • I spent some wonderful time with both of my besties this weekend. Boardgames, laughing until we cried, and a random photo shoot. I adore these girls. 
  • I heard from the 22-year-old (The child) on Thanksgiving day. He told me that he was “Thankful to have met me”. Okay, thank you? Boys.
  • I’m heading to Denver on Thursday night for the 3rd time in as many months. This time its for another wedding(!) and the friend in the bottom picture without the glasses’ birthday. It will be a quick trip, the other bestie and I fly out Thursday night and come home Saturday.
  • That being said, I just realized that I only work one full week the rest of this year as I have Friday off this week, and then I work the full week next week, and then the week after that we only work through Thursday before we’re off for our Christmas Vacation. Our Offices Shutdown on the 19th and don’t reopen until January 5th. And I get paid for ALL OF IT. And it’s NOT vacation time. It’s just like I’m working…but I’m not. Glorious! 
  • So, best job ever or best job ever?!
  • I’m nearly caught up on Serial and I’m freaking out. That’s some good stuff.
  • Also, the mere thought of Christmas shopping is seriously stressing me out. But then everyone asks, what do I want? Year-round I can think of dozens of things that I would like to have. But this time of year, I can’t think of a darn thing. That’s the way it always goes, I suppose.
  • I met a friend for lunch today. When I walked in, right inside the door there was a table full of 5 military men. I kind of made a dramatic entrance and they all looked up and stared at me. I was doing the same at them while I whipped off my stocking hat and tossed my hair out of face. I stood there, blinking at them for a quick second before I realized staring is impolite (hey! They were doing it too!) and walked back to find my friend. She saw the whole thing and just laughed at me. I think I get my flair for the dramatic from being in TV News?

That’s all I got. Have a great week friends!
