Hello, Sunday. Damn, it’s Christmas week and aren’t I ready for it? Sure, I have work. Sure, we’re staying home. Sure, we’re adults and Christmas Day is just a little less magical. Still, I’m READY. And all my gifts have arrived! Huzzah! Yesterday my internet…
Hello, Sunday. Mid-December! We’re here! I have most of my shopping done, though everything seems to be in USPS limbo and therefore I have nothing to show for it under my tree. Mom and I are baking up a cookie storm today and I’m sure…
Hello, Sunday.
Is it Sunday?
I just love Thanksgiving weekend so much because it’s the only weekend a year to just BE. It’s a lot of sitting around Mom’s house- eating here and there, switching from movies to books to board games to puzzles. I might work out, I might check my email. I don’t have to do anything.
Usually, Thanksgiving also kicks off a month of not-full work weeks because we head to Disney just in the right way to give us one full week of work before Christmas rings through. However, COVID shut that shit down, so I’m trying to fill the month with prolonged cheer so as to not remember the Disney merriment we’re missing. Or the fact that if we weren’t at Disney, we were definitely going to be in Hawaii right now…
Anyway, enough about what could have been and best to look forward into what will be. I’ve already got my word picked for 2021 and I can’t wait to get to work on next year’s vision board!
As for this week’s internet findings, here we go!

That’s all I’ve got today- have a great week!
Hello, Monday. Here we go, guys. A new week. A short week, for those of us Stateside. And aren’t we just all so ready for a few days off? I know we get to this point every year when we hit Thanksgiving week, but something…
Hello, Sunday. Hello from the Smoky Mountains of Maryland! My girls and I escaped our respective cities for a mini-break, in a cabin, surrounded by nothing but trees and ourselves. I’ll share the details later this week, but suffice it to say it was just…
Hello, Sunday.
It’s a good day.
Yesterday was a good day. Now, it’s time to keep fighting the good fight.
You know, Covid is still a very big thing, so go ahead and put up those Christmas decorations and bust out the Michael Buble. I’m escaping for a little socially isolated road-trip getaway this weekend and I can’t be more pumped for it.
I was hard to keep any sort of focus on anything this week and I, for one, kept the TV off a lot of the week, as well as my web browsers. Still, a few gems.
In fact, I’ve got Georgia on my mind.
The internet REALLY got us all through this election. Here are two of my favorites from the genius that is twitter.

53 roast chicken ideas, because we all need help and inspo these days.
That’s all I’ve got. Get some rest this week!
Hello, Sunday. Hello, NOVEMBER! Dear God, finally. Not that November really carries with it any true milestones, but it means that we’re kinda-sorta almost going to be over the election (or at least the ads) and are finally in a position to really count down…
Hello, Sunday. It seems like we are so close, but still SO far from getting back some semblance of normal. We are counting down in days, not weeks, until at least the official, if not final end to the election season which has seemed to…
Hello, Sunday.
And Happy Thanksgiving weekend to my Canadian friends!
We actually celebrated ourselves this year, stuffing our faces with all of Mom’s favorites last night and I’m looking roward to a weekend of leftovers. I’ll be sharing her stuffing recipe later this week because it is truly one of my top five Mom Foods ever.
Each week has with it news more shocking than the last, but we’re used to it by now, and hopefully will do something about it. Vote, vote, VOTE! Be like Bea.
Anyway, here we go:

Hello, Sunday. Hello, October! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these sorts of posts, but with the news being the news these days, I wanted something a bit lighter for heavier times and to get my mind thinking of all the things…
