40/52

Holy Moley! How is it week 40 already??!!

#ChristmasIsComing !!

 Speaking of Christmas, last week 266 Christmas cards left the studio to go home to my students for them to decorate for our service project. This is pretty much my favorite thing we do each year! I can't wait to see their creativity and to see the faces of some of the recipients!!
 So Monday started off great. All the cards were divided up, packed up and ready to go, my house was clean, I was organized, I was drinking Dunkin Donuts coffee out of my Charlie Brown mug....
 Life was good!

And it was.

Until 8:10 pm that evening.

Then began a scary time, where I ended up saving my neighbors life.

I didn't get to sleep until 2 am that night, and woke up the next day, still really worried. Thankfully that evening a family member came by to thank me and update me on what was going on.

I slept MUCH better Tuesday night, but it was a crazy week. I was still exhausted from my lack of sleep and all the fear and worry, and still wrapping my mind around what had happened.

 I think I took this picture on Thursday. It's October and we had near record breaking heat this past week. I am tired of sweating.

 Speaking of sweating, I was sweating in this jean jacket after church today. I wore my favorite sundress HOPEFULLY one last time this year, and when I left for church it was cool, so on went the jacket. When I came out of church it was like walking into a steam bath.

 Dear Fall, We love you, please come back with temps in the high 60's and low 70s.

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Blue Monday!

Today's Festive Blue Monday outfit! I wore my tried and true trouser jeans, a short sleeved beaded top I got on clearance at Macy's of all places for 6 bucks!! And my awesome new jeweled flats! Sooo comfy and cute! Since it was in the 60's today I was able to get away with this warmer weather outfit! Beading on the top, I love it! Shoes, so ugly they are cute!!

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
