Happy Friday! It’s actually been a fairly quick and easy week over here (oh how I wish they were all like that!) but I am looking forward to the weekend: another home football game and a great fall weather forecast (65 and sunny). I hope the week was as painless for you and if not, that the weekend is a great reprieve.
Sharing five highlights from the week…
———————
ONE: This week has been really light for work and I’ve been able to work from home, which meant that I finally (8 years later) got into Gossip Girl. I finished the first season in two days if that tells you how little work I got done and how obsessed I have become.
TWO: Yesterday I went into Chicago to work for the day. The downside to days I work in the city is that my train gets in at 7, a good hour and a half before anyone else gets to the office. The upside to that is that I get to stroll the empty streets, coffee in hand, the city all to myself.
THREE: The past few weekends have been really packed over here, with my trip to New York and multiple home games, this past weekend was our first quieter weekend and it was glorious. We spent our nights in watching movies, going to cafes late at night, and watching the ND game with a group of friends. It was just what I needed after the non-stop craziness of the past month.
FOUR: Finished “The Girl on the Train” and cannot recommend it enough. I finished it in only a few days and that’s saying a lot because I am the world’s slowest reader (Matt always makes fun of me!) At the end I stayed up until 2:30 so that I could finish it, it was addicting!
FIVE: Started my new “Travel Tuesdays” series which I am really excited about. I have been meaning to start sharing more travel posts and have guides to San Francisco, Napa, and Sonoma saved in word docs on my computer that I send to anyone who ever asks for recommendations but as of yet, hadn’t shared them on the blog. So I am looking forward to eventually getting around to those! Also planning to share a post on how I packed for NYFW without checking any bags! Let me know if there are any specific travel posts you would like to see.
