Hello Monday ~ October 14, 2024

 Hi friends! I hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was good, simple and went by fast!


I worked Friday morning from home then went to meet my new great nephew!

I spent the afternoon at my sister's house, then met my parents for an early dinner, which is always my preference!  I was home by 7. My next door neighbors often hang out in their driveway at night, so I went and hung out with them for a while.  I watched a Hallmark movie and did some random internet searches researching Christmas trees!  I am considering getting a new tree this year.

I was so happy Saturday morning when I had slept 8 hours!  Y'all, I don't sleep well and I honestly don't remember when I last slept 8 hours.  I did some light cleaning and watched a few episodes of Only Murders in the Building. I finally finished season 3 so I can start season 4.  I have heard good things about the new season.  Do you watch this show?

Jennifer and I went to explore a few Octoberfests in town Saturday afternoon and also stumbled upon the end of a car show.  We are learning to explore new places and new things.
We found a souvenir shop that had lots of fun Elvis items!

I took a walk Saturday evening and watched my first Christmas movie!  

My neighbors went out of town for a few days and I am watching their baby kitten at my house.  I am not really a cat person, but agreed to help.  This kitten is so small so I hope we can become friends during the week.  
I sure hope we had our last warm day this fall and I wore this brown jumpsuit on Sunday.
I made a stop by Home Depot to look at Christmas trees and enjoyed seeing all the yard decorations they sell.  



Sweet Tooth Cravings

My favorite sweet tooth craving is frozen yogurt, which is no surprise to anyone who reads this from time to time, ha!  Menchie's is my go-to frozen place.  

I do love chocolate, so I do love a warm chocolate chip cookie or a brownie.

I also love a key lime pie, caramel M&M's or Twizzlers.  

 I am trying to reign in my sweets right now.  I still have a birthday, 2 holidays, and other social things where I will be faced with some yummy desserts.  

Hope you have a great Monday!

It sounds like you had a really good weekend with fun activities and time at home. I hear you on rejoicing at eight hours of sleep- I would be so excited about that! Have a great Monday!

  4. I second you with the hope of our last warm day being yesterday! I'm so ready for longer sleeves. 🤣 Your newest little great is precious! Hopefully you and Kitty fared well last night, and hopefully she'll keep you company some this week and it'll surprise you. We had the most fun Saturday! I'm so happy we have each other to do fun things with. We need to make our next time together about Christmas and go to all the different stores to investigate. I'm there with you on wanting new Christmas items this year! Seriously, that would be fun and we go all over the city if we need to!

  5. I'm not a cat person, I'm allergic actually, but kittens are so cute. I'm not as much a fan when they grow into cats. Your nephew is adorable. Nothing sweeter than a newborn baby. So glad you got to spend time with him.

    1. I agree. I have never had a cat, so we will see how I feel at the end of the week.

  7. Aw, look at that adorable baby! Gosh, I can't remember the last time I held one that "new!" Your jumpsuit is lovely and it sounds like you had a really fun weekend. That kitten is adorable. I WISH we had frozen yogurt places up here but we don't... then again that could be very dangerous.

    1. It was a good weekend. Oh, I may not make it without frozen yogurt. Glad you have your favorite ice cream though!

  8. Aww! Your great nephew is just adorable, it sounds like a lovely Friday. We bought a new Christmas tree a couple of years ago and so much researching went into it.
    What fun at the car show and I am trying to hold off on the Christmas movies until November.
    Ohh! Key Lime Pie, I love that, it is up there in my top 5 desserts ever!

    1. I don't decorate this early because I like my fall decor, but I can watch a Christmas movie while looking at my fall decor!
