Hello, Sunday. This was a slow week. Did anyone else think it was a slow week? Maybe it was because I got both my booster and flu shot at the same time, so mentally prepared myself to be down and out for 48 hours, and…

I hope you’ll indulge me as I share just a little more from my Grecian adventures, but I couldn’t close that chapter without telling you about the pink beach.

Sunday Somethings – October 2022

Sunday Somethings – October 2022

Hello, Sunday. 

Hello, October!

It’s almost like summer checked out as soon as its shift was over because it went from 87 to 65 and it has barely been back up since. Not mad about it.

I’m settling into the new season in my house and in my kitchen- my fireplace is sporting orange and golden hues to replace my summer whites and blues, and the first gnome of Q3 has set up camp on the hearth. Let’s go, October!

Here’s what’s up with me. 

wishing: upon stars, regularly

hoping: these sparkly fall days last for a long time until they make way for the chilly winter ones

thinking: of everyone down in ian’s wake. been there, done that. more than once.

praying: my little Crawley’s antibiotics did the trick and that he’s on the mend

planning: 2023 travel, loosely

dreaming: of cozy days by the fire to come

wearing: hoodie season!

watching: ghosts, uk and us versions. love both. also, gbbo is back!

reading: just haven’t met you yet

cooking: soup, stews and pumpkin

eating: new fave restaurant– hey detroit!

What’s up with you?

Hello, Sunday. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind week. Work was busy (though I got some good news there!), the weekend has been busy, too and it seems like October is just going to be busy. Such is fall and all of us here…

Toes in the Water, Crete

Toes in the Water, Crete

If you know me IRL, you know that I’ve always been one to poo-poo a little bit on beach vacations.  I really, really don’t like hot weather, I don’t love dirt (ie, sand) and there is something about the lay-on-the-beach-drink-in-hand vibe that isn’t really me. …

Hello, Sunday. I’m back! Vacation was great, and as always, reality hit harder than preferred when I got back.  I fell back into my normal routines without skipping a beat, and almost like last week’s adventures in Crete were a far off memory rather than…
