Here we are, day 42, and I am still recouping, but my time is approaching an end this week as I will be returning to work!! Happy day (seriously though, who even says that about returning to work)! I guess a chick that has been at home for weeks! In all of my free time, I shoulda been blogging, but here I am cramming weeks of thoughts into a few days of posts!
So.... let's chat!
1. Day 42, you would think I have binge watched numerous shows! Welp, you would be correct!
Y'all, I watched 3 seasons of this shows in about 4 nights! Yes, I know that is ridic, but I was obsessed! I am now up to date with the season, and I have to wait a whole week until a new episode! Whomp, whomp! This show has it all: romance, history, amazing scenery, time travel... did I mention romance?? I am all up in this series, and am wanting to start reading the books (so I can get ahead)! I will be doing this in my free time (oh yea, I do not have much of that... shoulda started that 42 days ago)! Did I mention the books are like a ba-jillion pages long? Possibly by Christmas I will be to chapter 5... we shall see!
2. I have not been getting out much, but I am thankful that the manfriend has been getting the littles out to play, ride bikes, and even catch a movie! Last night, I decided to get a movie on VUDU and I chose Journey to the Center of the Earth. It has the Rock in it, so I thought it might be fun, and I just had to pick it because the kids could not agree on anything and I was tired of hearing them argue! Anyways, as we were watching, the kids saw the Rock and said that he is in a new movie at Christmas time.... Jumanji!!
Wha? Jumanji is being remade? I checked out the trailer, and it kind of looks funny, I was just a bit surprised that one would remake a Robin Williams classic... but I digress.
3. Today, we are 57 days from Christmas... I know! I am super pumped for the holidays, and the kids even started their Santa lists this morning! Anyone else gearing up for the holidays? Decorating? Listening to a little jingle jingle music? I am happy to say that my momma is going to help me get my Christmas out this week, since I am still not a 100%, heck I am not even 45%, but we are still going to jump right in! Bring out the red and green and all things that glitter!! I have already been looking at Pinterest and Insta for some new ideas... thankful that I have a hometown friend who is kind of a BFD on the décor scene... check her out... Angela I saw her latest Christmas posts and I am ready!! When do you start decorating??
4. Shuttttt the front door!
If you are one of the few that have been reading here for any amount of time, y'all know that I have shared my story about how I met a local blogger that I had been following for years... she is so cool, and def a girl that I would want to be my bestie! Anywho, I was on a holiday home tour in my small town, and I walked into one of the homes her husband renovated! I turned around with my grandmother at my side and there was this girl who I had followed for eons! She said hello, and was so nice, and I said something like, "oh my gosh, I am just obsessed with you"! Needless to say, our friendship did not blossom! Ha!!
Whatevs! We have mutual friends, so I consider us super close! I was on the FB the other day and my friend shared that the girl and her husband have a new show, Almost Home premiering on HGTV next week, November 7th! That is so cool, I mean we are 1 degree of separation, and she's probably gonna be the next Joanna G #JustSayin I will be watching fo sho!
5. So much has been happening in my small town since the accident... like hello, small town Bentonville is the setting for a new movie coming out... FREDI! The kids and I stumbled onto the trailer for the movie, and the whole time we were shrieking with excitement.... that's our square, we've been there, I know that place, I know that man who works at the 5 & 10! Very fun, and we cannot wait to check it out!!
6. I am currently typing and watching last weeks episode of Scandal, and sorry... spoiler alert!
Liv just kissed Fitz??
Wha?
Fitz is now back? I had just gotten over him, and now he is back?
I was focusing on Jake, but now Fitz??
Ugh, so confusing.
Best part about this episode is that they are playing the song Waterfalls by TLC.... hello, classic!
7. Now this is a doozie. I have not showered since Thursday.
#JustCallMePigpen
I do not stink, but I kinda feel like a skank, but not skanky enough to get myself in the shower. Does that make sense? Today, first thing on the list... besides blog, bathe.
8. Years ago I purchased some fabric at Hobby Lobby, I loved it! It was a cheerful, bold, print and I got about 6 yards of the fabric and planned to do BIG things with it (did I mention I don't know how to sew, whatevs). So, for years, the fabric has been folded up in the closet. I thought about it and thought about it, but still... nothing!
A few weeks ago, while hanging out on "Broke Leg Mountain", my mom and sis were out shopping at Pier One and found this super cute chair....
Y'all, it is my fabric on a Pier One chair! I die! Pier One, call me and I will find your next BIG print! I am over the moon to say that this sweet little chair has a spot right here in my home, and I just adore it!!

9. Puppy Fever.
I don't got it, but my Sophia has been promised a Christmas puppy. Hello, animal lover, just not really wanting to train a puppy! You know I will be the one up late nights with the pup, cleaning up teetee, but oh.... the happiness that it will bring my people!
10. Advil time... I am spending now about 5-10% of my time in a leg brace, that means the rest of the time I am brace free! Ummmmmm, I hate it, and my leg is hurting BIG time. Did I tell y'all that the doctor says that I should be working to bend my leg?? Is he completely whacked?? I have tried moving it more and it is super sore, but I guess that is to be expected. Really wishing I would not have finished those super effective pain pills, they would really be helpful right now! #KiddingNotKidding
Thanks for letting me spills my thoughts...

I found your blog through Kelly's and loved your recommendations. I, too, am torn between Fitz and Jake. :) What is the name of the first show that you watched on Netflix? I must have missed it and would love to add it to my list.
Oh Julie!! There have been so many shows on Netflix I have binged on: Friday Night Lights, Parenthood, Ozark, The Crown, Mad Men, The Keepers (true story mystery about the death of a nun, can be hard to stomach... but fascinating), Hart of Dixie! Those are just a few!!
