Hello, Sunday.
I can’t say that I’ve been focused on anything this week but Irma. I know I don’t live anywhere near Florida, but my family and friends still live there, and they all decided to stay put. It’s bringing back memories of Andrew and Katrina, not the good kind, and I’ve just found myself on edge all week. If you’re down there, stay safe. I’m praying for you: before, during and after.
Fall is here and that does bring back good memories and excitement for the season. Still haven’t set that date for apple picking, but I’m on top of it anyway with these apple waffles. More fabulous fall foods to come.
In the meantime….
Need some hurricane 101? Like, what does it all mean? This weatherman is the internet’s new star.
Not just for hurricanes, if you need to charge your phone in a pinch, think like MacGyver.
Tinder dates IRL. This is hilarious, but did it really happen? You decide.
Her ancestors were Georgetown slaves. Now at 63, she’s a freshman. Worth the read.
I’m posting something about Christmas. You can hate me, but once you watch it, you’ll LOVE me! Dan Stevens, Christopher Plummer; The Man Who Invented Christmas.
I’m certainly not immune to Notre Dame’s faults, but I liked this article, and I think that it really speaks to what makes ND special.
Board games can make us nicer because we learn how to resolve controlled conflict and also about rules and fairness. Makes sense. Bust out the Monopoly.
Buy yourself a hugeass, “just for you” mug with a puppy or a snarky saying on it. Yes, and other ways to see the light when you’re stuck in darkness.
I’m too old for this s*it. Yup, I am. #Thisis36.
That’s all I’ve got. Good luck this week- you can do it.
