Sunday Somethings
Hello, Sunday.
I’m sitting on my couch this weekend, taking it in and gearing up for later this week when my fall travel ramps up. I have some work and some play and nothing quite as long as my stints abroad this summer. It’s been a nice month or so to be home, but as it happens, I’m getting the itch again.
Six days in New Mexico, let’s go.
Otherwise, I’ve been sitting on edge lately. I can’t pinpoint why, but hopefully a few days away from my everyday in the great wide west will reset things. Nature and adventure always do.
I hope you can find your own version of nature and adventure to recharge your batteries, too.
Let’s get to it:
Are you a no-shoes household? I guess we never were growing up but ever since I’ve had my own house I have always been. I think part of it is living in the north where shoes are full of salt and slush in the winter, or in the past in the city where you’re stepping on God-knows-what, it’s just a no-brainer. Most of my friends’ houses are too. What’s your take? It’s apparently very polarising!
I was so happy to see Kate is now cancer-free but it begs the question- she’s 42, why so young? As we know, cancer in young people are on the rise- and here are a few possible reasons.
Gah, I really, really want to stay in one of these tiny hotels!
Sigh. I dream of this regularly. Where to go, though?
Ha. The benefits of the #FartWalk.
RIP James Earl Jones. This one hit.
As school is back in session around the country, I found this interesting- saving the idea of the University.
Love live the Contessa. Her chocolate cake remains one of my family’s go-tos.
ICYMI- I reinvented my family’s pound cake recipe, and it’s top notch.
Have a great week!
Brown Sugar Banana Pound Cake
This brown sugar banana pound cake is a twist on a family favorite- a rich, buttery cake with a touch of banana and a crisp sugar crust.
Sunday Somethings – September, 2024
Hello, Sunday.
Hello, September!
As Taylor says, August slipped away into a moment in time. Isn’t that the truest statement every year? The summer always seems to fly by but I swear the last month of summer flies by as slowly as the month of February crawls.
Funny how that works.
Anyway, as much as I’ll miss my lake days and after-work pickleball, I’m not mad about saying adios to the heat and getting into fall. Before this month is done, my summer decor will be packed away to make way for cozy blankets, fall hues and my favourite candles. Also, bring on the chili.
Until then, let’s see what September brings:
wishing: tickets for everything under the sun in the states weren’t so ridiculously expensive – I see more transatlantic concerts in my future unless ticketmaster can be stopped.
hoping: the rest of 2024 is calm and quiet.
thinking: about meal prep and digging through some cookbooks.
praying: for everyone’s good health.
planning: 2025 trips- just penciling things in.
dreaming: of the future.
wearing: showing my team spirit -#gobills #goirish
reading: the thursday murder club.
watching: the us open; the paralympics; lessons in chemistry
eating: easy microwave baked apples, and the last of the peaches.
drinking: apple cider iced tea, because it’s still a little steamy out there. and apple cider margs because there’s always a reason for a margarita.
traveling: to albuquerque in a few weeks
What’s up with you this month?
