these days.
so, i'm sorry that i've been bombarding you with blog posts the last couple of days, but turns out that spending time with family, friends and the man brings out the inspiration in me. the fact that my brain finally got a break from work for more than a couple days probably didn't hurt either (why does busy season have to be smack dab in the middle of the holidays??).
and now you get another one! who knows, i might write another one this weekend too! I AM AN ADULT AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT YO!
i hope your thanksgivings were amazing and no one got sick (although my cousin ry-ry may have...three pieces of pie??) here's to a long weekend and heading full blast into the holidays. hello christmas music all day everyday!

these days i’m…eating THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS!! something about taking home a tupperware full of delicious homemade food after thanksgiving just makes me so happy. we didn't have a lot of food left over (four grown men will do that), but i made sure we got some to take home![gallery type="rectangular" ids="2710,2711"]
(leftovers include Mister Man's pies, thank goodness!)
trying to pump myself up to redo our basement family room on sunday. we prepped on wednesday, and the plan is to finish up on sunday. i hate painting so much, but i'm thinking if it's somehow possible to turn on a christmas movie to watch while doing the work, i can survive. any tips on this?reading harry potter and the goblet of fire. yep, i'm on book 4 after a month of reading. turns out having an hour of uninterrupted reading time on the bus really increases your page count!
praying. there's a lot of prayers coming out of this heart right now. for wisdom, for patience, for the strength to give up control. turns out i have control issues? and the need to plan everything, all the time? i'm trying to be better about that.drinking russian tea. not sure if that's the right name for it, but it's basically a homemade mix that mama hools makes, and it's citrus and tea and sweetness, and it will warm you up so so good.loving my in-laws for making me feel so welcome and loved at thanksgiving this year. can we all just appreciate how rare it is to love your in-laws, and how lucky i am to have such awesome ones?
also loving my family, for making me feel like i was in florida with them and letting me know we were loved and missed, but without rubbing it in too much. it made this week a lot easier.working on finishing the christmas stockings i started LAST YEAR. i've been threatened with the purchase of a very expensive carpentry saw if i don't finish them by christmas eve. and i'm not down with having unnecessary tools in the house, so i will finish them, even if i'm up til three in the morning on december 23rd.
