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…

Have you been listening to Serial? This chart made me laugh. I love that “actually pretty good at lacrosse” falls in the “stoner” category. So true.

What are y’all up to this week? Fall is in the air, so I’m trying to soak up the last of the warm weather. I love the sunlight in September! Does that sound weird? It just has such a perfect golden shine during this month, no other month’s can compare. Today, I think I’m gonna finish up some DIY projects and maybe power through my current book so I can queue up some new ones to be set aside for me at the library. Hope you have a blissful day, and here’s my weekly round-up of notable links for you to enjoy…
