Loving the cold and crispy air this morning- it’s feeling like fall! I love spooky season and now I just want to go home and declutter so I can decorate for fall! I’m feeling extra loved and grateful after a great weekend with my husband, and I’m excited for what miracles and surprises this week has to bring!
I’m just at the go-kart track with my husband right now as we wait for his next race and realized I never wrote in my blog yesterday! We went to a wedding yesterday for one of my family friends and it was super nice! We definitely left early (at 9pm) and I was asleep before their reception ended at 11pm LOL! I’m only 31 but as fall approaches, I’m in my cozy old lady era it seems.
Today was a great Friday, and I am so grateful for how September has been so far. I’m thanking my angels and guides for always blessing and protecting me, my husband and our family and friends. Even after almost 15 years together, I still feel so lucky every day to have such a wonderful life partner.
If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?
Deacon: “Why do you leave me every morning when I just want to snuggle? HOW DARE YOU!”
Mushu: “I purposely vomit when I can see the bottom of my bowl. Also, I wish you’d feed me plastic bags.”
Sky: “Can I have more soft food???”
Yay for it being halfway through the week already LOL! Honestly, work yesterday wasn’t too bad and I actually went to the gym after work like I said I would! Look at me keeping a promise to myself! Now I’d just love to stay relatively consistent, so that’s a goal for this month (and really the rest of the year).
Also I got a new Braztie last night!! My husband loves his video games, our friends love their Pokémon cards, and me… I love Braziez!! They are different editions of Bratz babies in blind boxes and it’s currently my obsession. I was never into the Labubu’s, but considering I had quite the Bratz collection as a child, I am OBSESSED with these Bratzies!
Today, if the weather is okay, I am going to run a couple errands on my lunch break before stopping for the groceries on my way home! It’ll be nice to have all that done today so tomorrow I can focus on baking my Amish friendship bread after work! It’ll be my first time making that too and wow is it a process- I’ve been mashing a bag for 9 days now LOL!
I’ve decided today is going to be a great day, and I hope that today is great for everyone else as well!
Thank goodness Tuesdays are my “late start” days, because I definitely needed that extra hour of sleep! It’s always nice having a long weekend, but it makes it a little harder to go back to work LOL. I am grateful to have a job and to be able to afford my bills and still enjoy life, even if there are some things that disappoint me about my current situation.
It’s easy to get sucked into a negativity spiral, so gratitude is an easy way to keep myself from doing that. I am grateful to have a life partner who is supportive and loving; he is someone who I know is a great teammate to have as we go through life’s challenges together. I’m grateful we have reliable vehicles to get us to where we need to go, as well as money for groceries and clean water.
There are an abundance of blessings surrounding us at all times, we just have to be able to notice them. As someone who spent a lot of childhood in “survival mode,” it’s amazing to be an adult who can be present to all of the goodness around me. Even when things are tough, it’s important to remember that all things are temporary.
You standing here today shows that you’ve made it through every hard challenge yet, and I hope you can appreciate and celebrate yourself for that. May this week bring you many blessings!
Happy Labor Day! I’m so grateful that the only thing on my schedule today is therapy, and I get to do it from the comfort of my own home (aka on zoom)! It’s a gorgeous sunny day outside so maybe I will head out for a walk and just enjoy a slow, relaxing day before going back to work tomorrow.
Enjoying this lovely Sunday morning with great company aka my husband! We had a slow morning at home before we drove around and grabbed some Starbucks. I’m planning to finally finish up my pink shoes diamond set canvas today! I’m so excited to see it all completed and hang it up! I’m also going to call my friend who is out in Denver later today so we can catch up and just yap away!
I know it’s only been a couple days, but wow I forgot how much blogging every day makes me notice more in my life and just be more present to the blessings around me. I’m so happy I have a long weekend this weekend!
Got my iced pumpkin blondie today!! Also went to TJ and ross and now we’re headed to an outdoor festival! Later on we’re going over to our friend’s place for a lil BBQ & bonfire action! It’s a busy Saturday, but I’m feeling extra blessed and grateful.
It’s finally Friday!! Better yet- we have a long weekend! I’m excited to see friends, but also to relax and recharge after this work week. I haven’t written on here in a while, but I recently asked for a raise at work and was basically told I am capped: “maybe not forever, but for now.”
I won’t lie, it was kind of a slap in the face considering how much extra work I had taken one since my last raise in January of 2025 (ahem- almost 2 years ago). However, this just means it’s time to pivot! Now I know I won’t get anymore money here or have any room to grow, so it’s up to me to either settle, or find more.
This morning I’ve already seen 444, 555 and 1111. Yesterday I kept seeing 333 EVERYWHERE- I just know I can trust that all is working out and my angels are supporting me. Of course that doesn’t mean I can just lay around and do nothing- I have to be intentional with my time and effort, which I deserve to give that to myself!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and relaxing weekend, and I hope you get all the signs you are looking for!
