five good things to do on a late-november saturday.
1. Wake up VERY late.
2. Sip coffee in front of the fire.
3. Go with your roommate to decorate her awesome mom’s tree.
4. Sing along to Ella doing Christmas carols.
5. Cook a steak dinner for the best roomie in the world, by hire of her lovely San Diegan boyfriend.
My life is ridiculously stressful at times, but when I get the moment to stop and spend time with people I love, I remember how blessed I am.
Hope everyone is having a brilliant weekend, and that you’re actually starting to decorate for the holidays (even if you ARE a month late.)
A haiku:
white lights glow on tree
balls of red and gold we hang
stepped on hook oh s***

Is Cat’s mom awesome? or her tree? or both?
Glad to hear you’re able to relax and spread time with someone you love. Even if it isn’t me. :)

Everyone loves spreading time.:)

Or, as the line in that great old American standard goes, “Hey big spreader, spread a little time with me.”

A resounding yes to #2 which can be positively sublime if you have someone to share that coffee and fire with.
If I don’t catch ya beforehand, Meg, here’s wishing you, your family, and your friends, a merry Christmas from the other side of the pond; be happy and be safe.

So glad there’s someone else who loves to celebrate the holidays early like me. Of course, haven’t gotten around to decorating yet but will remedy this weekend…
Happy holidays!
