Good afternoon, friends!


For some reason, I always blog at night. I guess that makes sense. I mean, I work during the day, so I usually don’t have personal time on my computer until I get home. But today I’m blogging in the afternoon. It feels a little strange, but I’m in a good mood today, so I’m going with it!

I don’t have much to report, so I thought I’d give you all (like the three of you that are reading) an update on some things that have been going on in my blogging hiatus, as well as some updates on this weekend:

  1. Yesterday, I drove all the way to Falls Church for a burrito. It’s not that far, but it seems a little ridiculous.
  2. I really want new boots. I’ve been trying not to make many purchases because I’m trying to be more thrifty, but I really want boots. I might go shopping tonight.
  3. I decided that I’m staying in my apartment. The property manager did come down a little in price (after my intense haggling), and it’s still a bit more than I want to be spending, but I love where I live. I’m going to stick it out one more year and re-evaluate the situation next year.
  4. I’ve been struggling to wake up this week (what else is new, right??). I’m only in the office one day next week, but I’m contemplating going back to my early morning work-out strategy. Maybe doing something other than going to work first thing will entice me out from under the covers. Not likely though.
  5. I have only had one caramel apple cider from Starbucks this season. That needs to change. Also, I bought the hot apple cider k-cups for my Keurig. They’re surprisingly good. I want one now.
  6. I haven’t started any Christmas shopping. Nor do I really have any ideas.
  7. Last night, I watched my DVR-ed episode of Regis’s final episode of Live with Regis and Kelly. I wasn’t expecting to be affected by it because I rarely get to see weekday morning TV, but I was bawling through the whole thing. I’m so bad at saying goodbye—even if it’s someone I didn’t know!
  8. I spent four days in Boston last week for a work conference. I had never been to Boston, and I absolutely loved it. I wish my girlfriend Hannah was still living there so she could have taken me on a tour of the city, but I managed to find a couple lovely little places. The weather was perfect for walking and sitting by the water. I didn’t have too much free time, but I definitely want to go back again!


I think that’s all I’ve got for today. I’m getting ready to head over to a friend’s house for a homemade dinner; she’s so sweet! Hope all of you are enjoying a beautiful weekend!!

To almost Thanksgiving,

Lia
