these days.

hmmm, maybe these are just going to start being a saturday thing. i kind of love a saturday morning spent sitting with a candle lit, and a blanket on my lap, blogging while the husband putzes around the house. it's my happy place.there is a lot going on around here, in life that is, so writing has taken a bit of a backseat. and that's okay. life is meant to be lived, and the more i live it, the more inspiration i have to write down the line.i hope that your weekends are wonderful. love on your family and friends, and have a cocktail for me. hugs and kisses to all of you reading this.

these days i’m…eating lots and lots of popcorn. Mister Man has a pretty terrible travel schedule this month, so there have been a lot of single lady dinners to be had around these parts. the silver lining is that i'm all caught up on my tv shows since there is no one to snuggle with in the evenings....

trying to wash my hair less. so far i've been going at least 2-3 days without shampooing, and my hair is so healthy right now! normally on day three i just throw it up into the ol' blogger topknot (does anyone want a tutorial on that one?) but i wore it down in tribute to amber's lion hair habit. big hair is happy hair!watching the harry potter movies. or rather, re-watching them. because obviously i've seen them before, who do you think i am? i don't think ashten and i could be friends if i didn't like hp. MM and i are starting from the beginning, because this weather means mandatory viewings of those wonderful movies.   
wearing my winter coat. while crying tears of sadness for the cold being here so dang early.

praying for family that recently went through a terrible loss, the kind that no one should ever have to endure. praying for their healing, for peace in their hearts, and strength.drinking coffee again. don't judge me, i know i said i was off it, and i'm still off it most days, but let's be honest, a girl needs her latte on a friday afternoon from time to time!loving that i get to see my sister and her new apartment tonight! she's a teacher in a town about an hour and a half northwest of us, so i don't get to see her very often, and it's going to be an epic girls night with dinner, cocktails, and hocus pocus. whoop!also loving this special mail delivery from my girl alicia (or etley, as she's also called). seriously, this girl is so wonderful, and has been an amazing far away friend to me since we found each other in the blogosphere. she is funny, gorgeous, and the sweetest person. love you lady!working on getting our gosh darn lawn ready for winter. i have been cutting back plants, raking and pulling weeds for what seems like the last three weeks straight. i thought living in the city with a tiny yard meant i'd have LESS yardwork, not the crap-ton i've been doing.

(p.s. in honor of the cold weather arriving, for the rest of october i’m offering my monster squawker ad spots for 50% off with the code “sweaterweather”. with this spot you get social media love, an intro in one of my daily posts, and even a guest post opportunity if you’d like! go here to get your spot, they fill up fast! doesn't nikki from rural rookie look so good over there on my sidebar?)
