Good morning readers. I’m writing earlier than usual again and I have to say, I’m loving it. Since I’m no longer working Fridays I can start as early as I want and honestly it feels like I’m living in a 2000s rom com. Give me a coffee, a city waking up and the soft glow of morning light and suddenly I’m Carrie Bradshaw with a cozier wardrobe.
Then I add a Christmas album to the mix and it turns into a full on holiday movie moment. I know it’s a little early but I can’t help it. I love Christmas. Not just the gifts or the shopping lists but the feeling of it all. The spirit, the lights, the songs, the joy that seems to hang in the air. I’ve only allowed myself to put up a few string lights for now since Thanksgiving deserves its own spotlight but every part of me wants to go full festive mode already. The other thing keeping me from decorating completely is the thought that I might be moving before Christmas.
That’s right, house update. We officially put in an offer and now we’re waiting to see if it’s accepted. I’m crossing all my fingers and toes because I really fell for this one. But if it doesn’t work out I know I’ll find another place to love just as much or maybe even more.
Tomorrow I have my balayage appointment and I’m so ready for a little change. My husband and I plan to run some errands afterward, then spend the rest of the day watching football with wings which sounds like the perfect low key Saturday. Sunday I’m finally seeing my friend after a reschedule. We’re cooking creamy shrimp Cajun pasta and having drinks. I was thinking mojitos at first but now I might make a holiday themed cocktail just because it feels festive and fun.
Work has been lighter lately and I’ve been walking in the mornings when the weather feels right. There’s something so peaceful about early hours, music in my ears and trees showing off their colors. It feels cinematic the kind of moment that makes you want to slow down and just take it all in.
Today I’ll be spending the morning working on my blog planning more interactive posts for the holidays. I have a feeling it’s going to be so much fun bringing a little extra sparkle to this season.
So here we are:
One early Friday morning filled with quiet joy.
One playlist softly turning into the sound of Christmas.
One hopeful heart waiting for a house offer.
One weekend full of new hair, cozy food and good company.
And me somewhere in the middle of it all falling in love with the life we’re building.
