Friday Bits and Pieces

I have been out to eat every single lunch this week. I never go out for lunch, or if I do it’s maybe one time. Every day. I’m trying not to add up how much that is. Jimmy John’s, Chickfila, the downstairs café, Cheddar’s, Panera. Good grief. (Not gonna lie, it’s been a tasty week though)

I got these Christmas earrings from Spencer’s fundraiser, and I got to wear them today. They are Christmas without being CHRISTMAS so I feel I can wear them before Thanksgiving. Not like that would really stop me, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I’m very serious about pulling down the tree from the attic while lone wolfing tonight. Also, I may have gone a little nuts.

I’m trying to break in some of my flats that I don’t wear very often. I wear the same ones all the time because I have sensitive heels and it seems like they rub and hurt too much to break in. I have prepared myself with band aids and it seems to be working. I love these shoes. It’d be really nice if I could add them to my usual rotation.

Last year I bought a bunch of holiday movies, and this year I want to buy a few more. We have all the Home Alones (did you know there were four? No, you don’t want to see the fourth), Polar Express, (Love Actually for me), Muppets Christmas Carol, and maybe something else. I can’t remember. Anyhow, I think I want to get Nightmare Before Christmas and Elf this year. Anything else we shouldn’t miss?

I found this at Target. It is marvelous.

I've wanted to make a cloth or felt pocket advent calendar but now that it is a week until December I think I'm just not getting there again this year. But by next year, I really want to make on like this one:

And I noticed this photo that I've had attached to my desk at work since I started at this company. It was taken circa June 2003, I believe. We were such BABIES (and my hair went to my butt)
