Thursday PM

blog

I’m so grateful for this weekend I’m about to have! My husband’s birthday is tomorrow and we took the day off together. It’s always nice to have a long weekend!

My coworker’s birthday is next week, but we celebrated today because she’s going on vacation all next week. I made her a Wish Box for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! I’m really enjoying making these!

I don’t really feel like going to work tomorrow, or this whole week if I’m being real. I’d love to take a trip to an island or at least a beach somewhere warm! Luckily I still have today off, and my husband and I started off the day at our favorite breakfast place, so I’m satisfied for the day!

Yesterday we had fun at Oktoberfest with some of our good friends! We got to enjoy delicious smash burgers, pumpkin beer, as well as the haunted train ride and carousel! It was so fun hanging out with everyone, even though the rain kept coming and going. Luckily there were enclosed areas for everyone to hang out in!

It definitely feels like fall now which has me feeling cozy and spooky! I just finished watching Widows Bay (highly recommend- on Apple TV), and I am ready to just start watching every horror movie ever LOL so leave me some comments with your recommendations!

I hope everyone has a cozy, relaxing Sunday and that this week ahead turns out better than we expect!

Any of those apps look familiar? That’s where you can listen to Adventures of the 9 to 5! I’m just a gal who made an anonymous podcast to talk about stories and lessons learned throughout my job experience over the years! I wanted to make this a safe space where others can share their stories as well! Whether about a toxic boss or a nosey coworker, or even just share your own story about working for certain companies, I want everyone to feel comfortable to share their stories!

Weekend Vibes

blog

Yesterday was such a lovely day! My husband and I went out to breakfast, grabbed some more diamond by numbers from Hobby Lobby, and I made some yummy fresh juice and lemon ginger shots for the week!

Today I’m gonna call my friend who is doing some traveling in Peru to hear about all her adventures and see what her next plans are, and other than that, it should be a nice chill day!

The sun has been shining all weekend and we finally got into 40 degree weather, so basically I have been reborn and I’m alive again! LOL! However I definitely am ready to smell some grass and flowers- but we’re getting close!!

I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday!

new diamond by number purchases!

Saturday Vibes

Tonight is one of my friends bachelorette parties!! I’m one of her bridesmaids so me and her maid of honor and another bridesmaid are going to decorate the hotel before the bride-to-be arrives, and then we’re gonna go out for a night at the bars! I’m honestly not super into going out anymore, but I love her and her friends are super nice too so I know it’ll be a good night!

Happy Friday!! Lorde’s new album came out! I have already listened through twice considering it is only 35 minutes long, and I love it! I have a nail appointment today, and we’re going to our friend’s game night tonight, and then tomorrow morning I get my hair done and we have another friend’s house-warming party! It’s going to be a great weekend! Who else has fun weekend plans??

Friday Feels

Sounds like Friday’s are right for me! LOL! I saw this post on Instagram the other day and loved it so I thought it was appropriate to share today! This Friday I am feeling:

• grateful 🙌🏼

• grounded 🤍

• content ✨

The sun is shining, I get my nails redone today, and I get to hang with one of my good friends and her kiddos! Fridays are my early days at work so I’ll be out of here in a few hours and I’ll be all ready to start the weekend!

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend ahead!

Early Morning

blog

Well, it’s 5:49am on Sunday and I am typing this blog post while laying in bed. I woke up about 20-30 minutes ago to use the bathroom, and when I was trying to fall back asleep, I heard a noise from the kitchen. I walked out there and our cat Mushu decided to knock over the recycle bin like a dog (she likes eating plastic).

I walked out there & told her “no” and pushed her away from the bin and then put it all back and went back to bed. Not even five minutes later I hear the same noise again. This time I decided I needed to go empty the recycling so I brought it downstairs and I came back up and redirected her to her water bowl. She drank some and then was distracted by a box that was on the floor for her and she started playing with that, which is honestly what I was hoping for.

In the midst of trying to pet her while she was in play mode (I really need to stop doing that) I ended up getting a pretty decent scratch on my arm. I have cleaned it and put some ointment and a bandaid on it now, and honestly I’m ready to go back to sleep for a few hours. I’m going to go over to my mom’s later this morning and I’m looking forward to our walk together. It’s supposed to be sunny and beautiful today, which is perfect for mother’s day!

My husband and I went over to his parents’ house yesterday and brought over some Olive Garden for dinner! It was nice to just sit and chat about life and their business. I’m going to start helping them with their website and social media, so that will be a fun project to work on! I’m hoping this keeps me busy and excited to continue to work on my own creative projects!

Friday / Weekend Feels

blog

Excited for a calm weekend to relax and reset. We have no plans other than hanging out around the house and going on a breakfast date to our favorite place (aka where we got engaged). Im just thinking about how I will be able to get the house cleaned up and take time to myself; as an introvert, these are my favorite weekends.

Also it’s Friday the 13th which is one of my favorite days, as my husband’s lucky number is 13, and we have three black cats! For us, we have always considered it to be a lucky day- and I’m feeling this energy.
