Labor Day Weekend Recap
How do? It's the start of a new month again. I have to say, decorating for Fall early this year was absolutely the right thing to do. I want to say I put stuff up August 12th-ish and not only did it put me in a better mood but I usually decorate early September and then it feels like a deadline. Having all of this up was calming in the blazing heat and humidity and gave me something to look forward to. The Mr and I had our birthday celebration Saturday. I had him pick up my favorite cupcakes and it's the first year we didn't have an actual cake which felt weird and kind of sad. I grew up on grocery store cakes with overly sweet frosting and roses or balloons on the edges. Sadly since everything is off-site and shipped into stores now, they are as dry as the desert no matter where we try to get them. Even Mom and Pop bakeries have the same problem.

It is something when you see it's week 50. That last stretch of every year is so special too.

ReplyDeleteIt was a hellish week for numerous reasons and the cortisol and inflammation levels were amped up a lot. But some blessings were sprinkled in, so I'll take it. Had a check up this morning, then met the hubs at the grocery store and we hit two stores to gather up Christmas dinner ingredients. Now we're home and I'm doing laundry, a few Walmart and Chewy orders and will begin making my brownies and pudding fudge for our peeps on Monday. Then I begin my workweek tomorrow...le sigh.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do get out of the house and enjoy some festivities, even if it's driving to a whole different town to see their displays. The hubs just put up our tiny tree from Wayfair yesterday and it's so cute. Skinny and proud. LOL
