We’ve made it to November! How are we all feeling? I started seeing Christmas stuff event before Halloween was even over. I’m not anti-Christmas necessarily (though I don’t love a holiday romance), but can one ding dang holiday finish before we start celebrating another?! Especially one that is nearly two months away. Okay, end rant. How did everyone’s Halloween go? My party plans were postponed, though my house was relatively peaceful. We don’t get many kids down … Continue reading Links: Mice, Mundane Halloween, & More→
Welcome to Wednesday Links! How are you all? My partner and I hit up two apple orchards for our continued quest for the best apple cider donut in New England. I also had the opportunity to make my apple butterscotch pie and it turned out wonderfully! What are you Halloween plans? My partner’s friend and neighbor is having a get together. We’re wearing a couple’s costume: San and Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke. We saw the movie … Continue reading Links: Cats, Dioramas, & More→
Welcome back, everyone! How are we all doing? I can feel the seasonal depression kicking in, so I had a whole day over the weekend to just really chill. My partner handled all the decision-making for the day, got me settled in a blanket nest on the couch, and surprised me with a copy of Luigi’s Mansion 3 on the Switch. Anyone else feeling the SAD pangs yet? … Sarah shared this link with me and now … Continue reading Links: Recommendations, Nalini Singh, & More→
Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! How are you all doing? I feel like this is the first week in New England where it’s officially fall. I made some yummy apple butter on Sunday, though I overpromised batches and definitely need to make more for interested parties. My partner and I played a fun (and admittedly complicated) board game: Arkham Horror. It’s a spooky, cosmic horror game where characters have to work together to solve a mystery, … Continue reading Links: Conferences, Sandra Kitt, & More→
Hey all! Did you know it’s Wednesday?! I’m in the midst of fall allergies! They aren’t as bad as my spring ones, but I still hate them. I never had fall ones in Florida, so it’s a nice, fun surprise every year for me. My partner and I hit up our first apple orchard for our apple cider donut tour of new England. We event made a grading rubric for the donuts! For our first … Continue reading Links: Muppets, Flutes, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How are you all? I had an okay weekend! My lovely partner brightened up a rough day I was having by getting me a fluffy blanket for their apartment (I’m a chronic nester) and finally…a toaster! Imagine my shock when they presented me toast for the first time and they had air fried it. Now no shame to air fryers, but that can be toast made from a toaster. I … Continue reading Links: Interviews, Bookstores, & More→
Hey! It’s Wednesday! Can you believe it? Admittedly, I am dragging this week. I’m so unmotivated to do anything. Anyone else in the same boat? In cool things, I made dumplings on Sunday! I didn’t make the wrappers myself because that was a little too intimidating for a first time project, but the store bought ones worked out just fine. Made a batch of 50 with some filling left over. They were so tasty! I’m almost sad … Continue reading Links: Events, Cats, & More→
Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! After two full weeks of socializing, I am so ready for a weekend of doing nothing but being a couch goblin. I went to a black tie wedding over the weekend. It was all very fancy and I rented a red, off the shoulder, trumpet/mermaid style dress for the occasion (pictures on my Instagram; shout out to Rent the Runway). My partner even went through the process of buying a tailored … Continue reading Links: Star Wars, Mercedes Lackey, & More→
Hey all! A nice little short and sweet Links post for your mid-week blues! I had a lot of social activities last weekend. Lots of one on ones, meeting new people. It’s exhausting! I’m also attending a wedding this weekend. My battery is running low and I feel like I will probably crash when it’s all over. I’m an introvert in the sense that socializing really drains me and I need to recharge. Anyone else feel … Continue reading Links: Dolly Parton, Kitchen Goods, & More→
Hey all! It’s Wednesday; can you believe it?! August is wrapping up and to that, I say, “Thank god!” I am over it and so ready for the fall seasons. I’m a cozy person by nature. I love to nest. I love mountains of blankets and pillows and burning an autumnal candle. Sure, yes, I could do that in whatever season I choose, but I don’t need the extra sweat that comes along with being … Continue reading Links: Stitching, Nora Roberts, & More→
Hey all! It’s Wednesday! Can you believe it?! I’m ready for the week to be over, truly. Anyone else feel the same? I saw Nope with a friend of mine last week. I still think Get Out is my favorite Peele horror film, but this was pretty close to beating it. My partner said the first half was definitely a horror movie, while the second half felt more action/adventure. I’d definitely agree with that assessment. Did anyone else … Continue reading Links: Olivia Dade, YouTube Rabbit Holes, & More→
