Odds and Ends

I've pretty much got nothin' when it comes to blogging material these days, but I was able to pull together a few odds and ends to share with you! 

-Adele's Someone Like You has to be one of the most heartbreaking songs I've heard in a long time.  I absolutely love the song, but it also makes me sad every time I hear it. 

-Is it weird that I look forward to some of my Bravo shows ending even though I love them?  I really need to free up my DVR a bit, so the fact that the end of Most Eligible Dallas and RHNJ are ending oddly makes me kind of happy.

-Speaking of RHNJ, how awful did this season make Teresa look?  I used to actually kind of like her, but she's just a mess.  I'm so glad that Carolyn and Jacqueline are finally seeing her for her true self, just like we are.  I would have never guessed that I would end up liking Joe and Melissa, but I really did. 

-I can't seem to find a good fall candle that isn't way too strong! I had a delicious pumpkin cheesecake candle last year that was perfect without being too much, but can't find it anywhere this year. If you have any yummy fall-like candles, please pass your recs my way!

-My hair has been permanently stuck at shoulder length for about 3 years now despite my best efforts to grow it long!  Now that it's fall, I've had it and am really tempted to chop it and go a little darker.  I'm thinking about taking 2-3 inches off, and going back to my roots with just a few highlights.  This Olivia Palermo photo is what I'm thinking for my color inspiration.


-I'm thrilled that I already have my Christmas cards purchased, but the problem about getting an acceptable photo is definitely starting to cause me stress.  I've found a local photographer for super cheap that is willing to literally come just until we get one acceptable photo, but I feel like that's a very weird thing to do for the 2 of us with our dogs.  I just know that using our point and shoot camera on a timer will be disastrous, but also know my husband will hate the idea of having someone come take it.

-I want to get some pumpkins to decorate our mantle with this weekend.  I really want some white ones, but there aren't any pumpkin patches very close by, and I haven't seen any at the store.  I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that I can maybe find some at the Farmer's Market this weekend. 

 
-I love this printable I found on Pinterest!  I have the perfect white lacquered frame for it, and can't wait to add it to my pretty sparse Halloween decor!

-Tomorrow is Thursday, which means it is the most glorious day of my work week!  I have an insane amount of prep time on Thursdays, which usually allows me to get all of my planning and copying done for the entire week ahead.  I always feel so accomplished on Thursday afternoons, and the rest of the week is a piece of cake.  YAY!

I hope you're all having a wonderful week!

I love the printable, it's the perfect Halloween touch. I think that color would look gorgeous on you! And the added bonus would hopefully mean that it's easier to maintain? I hope you guy have a fantastic weekend!

I feel like I could have written this post!

I too am looking forward to a few shows ending b/c I cannot keep up with my DVR. It's been stressing me out. And Teresa?!?!? Sheesh! I always thought that she was one of the ones that had sense, but this season she really showed herself didn't she!!

Thanks for the head's up about the printable. I can't wait to print them out :)

I totally agree on the Adele song - love it, but sooo sad! And you must've gotten your mom's hair genes... I have NEVER in my life had hair past shoulder length, it just stops! And I love going darker for fall, be ready to switch up you makeup too! And I soo wish I could ship you some white pumpkins! Have seen some real pretty "peach" ones too! Can't wait to see your fall crafts with your kiddos! Happy fall! Love you!
