What are you up to this week, loves? I’m trying to pace my viewing of House of Cards…but it’s HARD! Haha! How many have you watched? I loved hearing how many episodes my various co-workers got through over the weekend. Who says binge watching eliminates water cooler chats!? Also, I’ve been working on knitting projects and it’s a little bit addictive. Have a wonderful week, and enjoy these links I found just for YOU…

Hey babes! After a few days holed up in my apartment, I slipped and slid in my Subaru to work yesterday. This week has been treacherous and draining and it’s only the MID-week.

Stay safe, stay warm and if you’re still stuck at home with no end in sight, here are some links for you to enjoy…

Hey friends! What are you up to this week? If you’re on the East Coast I hope you’re ensconced in covers and have plenty of wine tucked in your cupboards! I recently checked out a new dinner spot that I would highly recommend if you’re around these parts, and Monday was free Chipotle day! Did your Chipotle run out of free sofritas, too? It sounds like they weren’t prepared for such a positive response. Never under-estimate the power of free burritos, people! I’ve also downloaded a new app that I’m excited to tell you guys about at some point. : ) Hope you have a good week, stay safe out there, and providing you’re weathering the storm with an Internet connection…

What have you been up to this week? Sunday warmed up a bit around these parts and it was just agreeable enough for my friend Jessica and I to loop about her neighborhood and blow some of the winter stink off. Also, I just started the Yoga with Adriene 30 Day Yoga Challenge (I LOVED the Erin Motz 30 Day Challenge so here’s hoping this one is fun as well!), and yesterday I sliced my thumb while attempting to cut fruit too early in the morning. The hazards of packing my lunch! *facepalm* Hope you have a good rest of the week, and here are a few interesting links I’ve recently dug up…

How is everyone doing? Things are beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! Chet got into town on Sunday and we were quick to get the decorating done. Tree is up, twinkle lights liberally strewn where possible and stockings hung! I’m anxious to do other holiday activities as well. Any ideas? I’m thinking we’ll go check out some outdoor lights and a giant tree at a historic home near the apartment but I would love some suggestions! What do you guys think? Hope your week is magical, however you’re spending it, and here are some links for you to enjoy…

What are you up to this week? As you know, I’m still riding high from my recent vacation. I also got to attend Big Blue Madness last Friday and watch the UK Basketball team practice and whatWHAT?! Drake was there! As for this week? I’m excited for all things fall! Walks in cozy sweaters, evening TV marathons with a blanket and a pumpkin candle, I even concocted a pumpkin pie smoothie this weekend that I’m eager to recreate. Isn’t Fall such a gloomy-in-a-good-way season? Sort of nostalgic and broody. I keep thinking of this line from an Andrea Gibson poem…

“Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they’re
falling like
they’re falling in love with the ground.” 

Anywho, enjoy an appropriately autumnal week, and here are some links for you to enjoy…

What are you up to this fine week, folks? I’m planning on a quiet week (*knocks on wood*) with plenty of down-time to do this arm challenge and read this book AND count down the minutes until my upcoming trip to Lafayette, LA (!!!!!).
