Oh Friday….Currently

October 19, 2018

I’m not even kidding you guys…it has rained in Austin for over a month now. Like they are having to open numerous floodgates, the lake trails are closed,  everything is wet and then it started to be cold and wet. I just can’t. I will take chilly weather (no matter my love for 90+ temps) over wet and cold any day! ANY DAY! Please make it stop!

On to something more fun…



Listening || I’ve been cranking my reggaeton station on the way home everyday . I figure if i have to sit in traffic I might as well dance in my car.

Drinking || So much tea and theraflu….so much theraflu. I hate being sick!

Watching || Shitts Creek, Queen of the South, A and I just finished the 2nd season of Atypical, and I found myself distracted by the show he was watching the other day Meat Eater. Its so good! 

Reading || I just finished All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover and now im in that weird limbo where I am waiting for library books and debating reading one of the 1000+ books Ive already got downloaded until something is ready!

Eyeing || Target has boots on sale…and I need boots…but I don’t really need boots. I just have the same few pairs from the last few years and they are kinda grubby so maybe I need new boots?

Eating || Apparently everything. I can’t even. I need to start logging my food again asap. I did make 3 kinds o f banana bread earlier this week to get rid of the bananas in the house!

Wanting || As mentioned above…the rain to stop. Its pouring right now…again. I want to be able to go outside without getting soaked and I want to go pick pumpkins (not from the damn grocery store) 

Planing || My trip to Chicago next month. I decided to go for a week since I have the week off of work and I miss my family and I miss my friends and I just want to do holiday shit that I will miss otherwise…I’m looking at you Christkindlmarket! 

Trick or Treat || I love treats!! I think A and I are going to go down to 6th St for Halloween since its apparently a big thing!

Three on Thursday!

October 18, 2018

Another Thursday post of Favorites thanks to Steph @ Not Entirely Perfect
 
 
Holiday Everything!… I love dressing up for Halloween, trying to get home in time for trick or treaters, Going to the pumpkin patch. I love Thanksgiving and thinking about all the yummy food then making my families favorite foods and cookies. I love Christmas shopping for family and friends and thinking about what gift I can give them that is special. I love decorating for Christmas and then leaving my tree up until its terribly dead and I have to drag it out of the house leaving tons of pine needles everywhere. I love NYE parties and the pink from all the valentines day stuff…I love getting up super early on St. Patricks day just to start drinking. I love Memorial Day and Labor Day relaxing and BBQs. I love it all! 
 
Mangos w/chili sauce(powder)…I really love most things sweet & spicy but ESPECIALLY mangos with chili powder & lime. They are my go to and I always want everyone who hasn’t tried them to get their life together and join me in the wonderfulness! 
VS T-shirt bras…I am not super picky about my stuff…though I am starting to really appreciate quality and sales! I first got a VS t-shirt bra from one of the bins during semi annual sale. Now they are pretty much all I own. I wait for the coupons and sales because I hate buying anything full price but they fit amazing and they last a decent amount of time (im so hard on my clothes in general) Also they come in super cute or basic and I like both and then I get to walk around feeling like a VS model…ok…well that’s enough.
What are some of your favorites??

Oh Monday…

October 15, 2018

How is it October 15th already guys???

It is Monday..and I am exhausted so I am just going to share my thoughts….

– I just got back from a short (but long) trip back to Chicago for a wedding. I haven’t been home since the move…which was only 2 months ago but feels like 8 years so I wanted to try and cram some family and friend time in. The result is me hopped up on some major caffeine this morning!

– It was cold…like 30s on Friday. Eff that. But then I wake up in Austin this morning and its 49 and raining. FML I can’t win. I need new rain boots..and to stop wearing my sandals?! Im not ready.

– My friend was in town last week and I magically (think sick day + awesome boss who let me have more days off) got most of the week off. I had so so much fun exploring Austin with her and just relaxing. She also got me hooked on some new shows….Hello Shitt’s Creek!

– I now have to get my life together and book my Thanksgiving flight which I am sure will be more money since I didn’t do it earlier.

– I finally went into the Erin Condren store last week…Shit guys. Why did I do that? Now I want everything. EVERYTHING!!!

– We just put up our Halloween decor on Thursday. Yes, 2 weeks into October. Meanwhile I am already seeing people talking about Christmas!

Ok that is all for today! I hope you all have a good Monday!
