Hello, Monday. Thank you for being here with me Monday morning. I know this wonder of a newsletter usually hits you Sunday morning, but Saturday I was too busy buying gnomes (pictured above) and gnome-themed things and prepping for my online cooking class that I…

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!

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 about the last one in particular just seemed abnormally harsh. Did you feel it, too? At least a handful of other friends and I all lamented that this last week sucked. Perhaps our mindset sucked? Anyway, I’m sure one influences the other, whichever way it goes.
While I stared my weekend with a nasty email, I ended it with ice cream, wine, Christmas music and fully decked halls. A good omen for the upcoming days, I think.
Last week was all a blur, but my self did have some foresight to save some goodies for you throughout the week. Enjoy!

Just saying that this pumpkin spice no churn ice cream option is a great alternative to pie. Because ice cream >> pie.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
That title takes you back, doesn’t it? Last week, I escaped. I escaped Michigan, where I’ve been landlocked since March. Escaped my condo where, with the exception of my July getaway, I’ve been trapped since quarantine started. I escaped my loneliness, which despite phone calls…
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.
