Just five little things on my mind these days…
1. College Football
5:30PM – This Saturday
Honestly, I really couldn’t care less about the games themselves, but I LOVE the energy of football season. I like the camaraderie and team spirit and even the (in my case) playful competition in the air this time of year. Plus, I love a good reason to curl up in an old hoodie, eat chips and cheese dip, and reminisce about my years spent in the stands of Death Valley. I haven’t been back in several years now, but I plan to change that later this fall. In the meantime, I’ll be wearing my orange and teaching Sam the Clemson fight song! GOoooo Tigers!
2. Fall TV
First of all, I have thoroughly enjoyed Mistresses on ABC this summer. It started out as kind-of a “guilty pleasure” TV show cause it was a little on the dirty side; but, this season, I feel like it has gotten legitimately good. The story lines are pretty original and the characters very like-able. Do you watch? What do you think?
Here’s my lineup for the fall: (It looks like Thursday nights are going to be pretty darn busy…)
Did everyone else in the world know that this is the “farewell season” except me? I’m already mourning…
On at 8PM now? I’ll take it!
Obviously
Pretty excited about this new one too…. If I can stay up that late!
And, of course, I’m looking forward to this…
What are you going to be watching?
3. Emily Ley’s 2015 Simplicity Planner
There are few things in life I love more than a pretty, new day planner. I’ve been using one of these since about March, and I LOVE it. The design is classic and cute, and the elements/organization are PERFECT. Plus, I love the heart behind Emily’s product… The 2015 planner goes on sale at 10AM on Wednesday, and you better believe I’ve got it written on my calendar. This year, she is offering a daily and weekly version. The weekly is a little smaller and doesn’t have the time slots for every day. I think that’s the one I’m going to go with since my day-to-day (at least form 7 – 3) is fairly consistent (and it’s a little less expensive). Anyone else?
4. Boots
Is it boot season yet? Probably not, but I, for one, can’t wait. My beloved camel boots were retired last year after they started looking like a dog ate them, so I’ve got my eye on these – wide calf for this girl – from Target. Has anyone seen them in person? I’ve only found them online, but the style and price seems good…
5. Three Day Weekend
Woohoo! I’m looking forward to a girls night out with my sister tonight, a birthday party and a family “reunion” tomorrow, and plenty of time for rest and play on Sunday and Monday. What are your plans?
Have a great one friends!
E
Well, I’m going to teach Millie the Georgia fight song tomorrow, so…I guess Sam and Millie will cancel each other out. 🙂 GO DAWGS!
I have actually never watched Parenthood- given the title, I assumed it would be more than my bitter little infertile heart could take. 🙂 But I’ve always heard such good things about it. And now that Millie is here, I am super excited to start at the beginning and figure out what all the hype is about!!!
Those boots are awesome!!! My camel boots are also headed towards retirement, so let me know if you like those!
So I’m glad you mentioned liking the simplified planner. I almost emailed you because I knew you had one. I want to love my planner, but I feel like I am never happy with it, but the simplified planner is sooo expensive, but maybe I’ll make the splurge this year.
We watch the same shows! (Except the Bachelor LOL – cannot deal with that show!). I am so sad about Parenthood ending!! I LOVE Scandal. I am a season behind though. And i cannot wait to watch How to Get Away with Murder!! I love Viola Davis!!
Btw, my teacher friend posted some shoes on Instagram & i immediately thought of you! I think they are darling!! http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-flats/pencil-me-in-flat
Go Tigers! Good thing you care more about the atmosphere than then actual games, because it was a rough one Saturday night! My friends have managed to get together every year for a game since 2007 and we’ll be down there this weekend….I can’t wait! Thanks for the tip on the boots, too! I’ve been trying to find a nice, tall, non-scrunchy, wide-calf pair and I went ahead and ordered those! Love your style!
curse you for getting me hooked on Mistresses…. and other than Scandal, I’m with you on fall tv (except for the Bachelor… I just can’t get into it.)
Your TV list is my TV list. I, too, just found out about Parenthood…not sure what I’m going to do without the Braverman’s next year. Also, so glad I’m not the only one who STILL watches Grey’s. Most people look at me and say, “that’s still on?!” And I’m beyond excited for Chris!!
