This post has a little bit of everything, a few rants, a few raves, a few facts.
Hope you enjoy & consider joining the linkup next week, it's hosted every Thursday!
1. A back road I take to work now has a new stop sign...I know this because I ran the stop sign the other day, much to the chagrin of everyone else waiting their turn. In my defense, there probably should have been a warning sign. On a 45 MPH road...if you want to put your stop sign at the end of a blind curve. Jus' sayin'.
2. November weather in Pittsburgh was pretty atypical (read : warm & sunny), now that the winter gloom is in full effect, I am counting down the days until my trip to New Zealand in February!!! I'll be spending 10 days on the South Island , 4 of those in Queenstown (pictured below) & escaping cold, dreary winter time Pittsburgh in the process.

4. The best $25 I ever spent was buying a heated blanket for my cube at work. It is forever freezing in this place. If I cozy up with my blanket & a mug full of coffee while I draft a blog post, I almost forget I'm at work. Oh wait...
5. Some days, being a grown up rocks. Like on Tuesday, the BF and I headed out for drinks with some friends. But, since we all had adulting to do the next day, no one felt like party poopers when 930PM rolled around & we all agreed it was time to go home.
6. I am on the hunt for an ugly sweater. I'm headed to an Ugly Sweater party this Saturday, but wasn't smart enough to grab my old standby when I was home for Thanksgiving. Every thrift store I've wandered into though has been sold out of ugly sweaters. So what's a girl to do?

Anyone else headed to an Ugly Sweater party this year?
Anyone else have a Mom who made enough to feed an army?
What's your next vacation?
LOL on #1! I spent my honeymoon on the South Island of New Zealand, and it was awesome! You're going to love it! February I'll be headed to a bad sweater party hosted by friends who have been holding one for many years...way before bad sweaters were a thing. It's just general ugly sweaters, though, not holiday themed. We've all noted that it's been harder & harder to find ugly sweaters as they get more popular each year.
ReplyDeleteWe're headed to Christchurch, Queenstown & Mt. Cook. With some driving in between since we'll have a car. So if you've got any suggestions, bring 'em on!!! That sounds like a fantastic honeymoon destination!
DeleteToo funny. My friends and I in college used to do something similar, an ugly sweater party. But I agree, now that they're all the rage Goodwill is always sold out of the ugliest ones!
I love turkey, and even that is excessive. That is like my mom with pies. Her policy is 1 pie per person and one for the pot!
ReplyDeleteHaha I didn't even bother mentioning my mom's my game. But the pie game is strong. We usually have a cake or two too.I think we hit our 1 per person mark this year.
DeleteSold out of ugly sweaters?!?! Lololo! Maybe the big designers should try to capitalize on that and look into putting out a line of them around the holidays. You could always try to make your own by buying a normal sweater and gluing pom poms and what not to it...
ReplyDeleteI'm considering it. Target & Walmart have some that they sell, but that just seems to go against the whole spirit if I buy it new. So the hunt continues!
