I still need to get one more Mexico post up (to recap the actual quinceanera!) but not feeling like sorting through all those pictures today. I think I'll just do a Monday Misc. post here with some random, real time life updates. 🙂 Charlie sleeping: First, how sweet is this pic of Charlie? I took… Continue reading Squeezing in some fall fun, a planning challenge, and Monday misc.
The week/ weekend: This is a bit of a weird week, as I have just one week home sandwiched in between 2 weeks away. I was rather exhausted this past weekend after Nashville! I was glad to hear on a call yesterday that I was not alone. My boss said she took super long naps… Continue reading Sandwich week, fall stuff, etc.
Here we are, somehow 1 day away from the end of September! I read all the time management things and I think about this topic a lot, yet I still can't seem to figure out how to get time to slow down. (Though in other ways, September actually has simultaneously felt moderately long? I don't… Continue reading End of September
I have been feeling bummed lately that I just can't keep up in the blogosphere.... I know it's okay, but it's still a disappointment. I love this blogging community and I love writing here, but work has been SO BUSY. Mornings and evenings and in-betweens always seem so frequently spoken for, too! Argh. Anyway, I… Continue reading Night out + dog training
Recent Updates: 🔷 Friday night soccer! Last Friday were Ethan's first games of the season. He's basically on both JV AND Varsity, so being a holiday weekend, I cut out early from work to make it ~40 minutes across town to his 3:45 pm JV game (where he had an assist + a goal, yay!)… Continue reading Week updates and Friday Fashion #2
Ethan sort of goes back to school today! Ahhh. (Just a short orientation day, which as a sophomore basically means going to get his picture taken and receive new school ID and some other misc. tasks.) His first real day is tomorrow! I always think it's nice to start on a Thursday, to ease in… Continue reading Back to school- round 1
A few random things on this Tuesday: #1. I wrote a guest post! On Sunday NGS published my guest post as part of her special 20th anniversary blog series. Every Sunday a guest blogger shares some sort of "20 Things" list of their choice. Mine was, of course, 20 Things I'm Grateful For. I had… Continue reading Tuesday misc.
Hello! Finally back in "present voice" here! Yay! It feels like AGES ago since I've written a real time post. It's hard to believe, but we've been home from Hawaii for almost 2 weeks already. Plus a 2 week trip... means it's just about a full month since we left for vacation! Mind.blown. So, what… Continue reading Some real time updates!
On Sunday I ran to T.J.Maxx looking for a new little bralette for sleeping in, because a very cute, curly haired friend chewed the strap off of my old but beloved one. (My fault for leaving it on the floor... he really doesn't chew on things anymore, except socks and/or undergarments of any kind are… Continue reading Overheard in the fitting room + a few packing confessions
1- Ethan's tennis banquet Last night we attended Ethan's end-of-season tennis banquet at school. It was at 5:30 p.m. and way across town (for me anyway, from home...). Ivan met us there from work. Ethan drove me, despite being essentially "rush hour" on the "busy/ scary interstate route" (which is actually just his normal route… Continue reading Friday 5: Misc
