Hello Monday. It’s always hard to see you after a long weekend.
We spent Thanksgiving in Chicago at my parents’ house. It was a lovely holiday and I ate too much. Add a trip to Ikea, dinner with friends and a quick trip to Jo-Ann’s and that about sums up the weekend. Oh, and making lots of people into elves. I highly recommend it.
Libby tagged me. I am sure other people have tagged me too, but I generally ignore memes since I did the alphabet thing. However, I am slow moving this morning so here you go. Eight random things about me….
1. My favorite tea is Chamomile Citrus by Mighty Leaf. I love this stuff. Second best is Passion by Tazo. I like that one hot and iced.
2. I’m in a huge nesting phase right now. I just bough new sheets and some pillow shams are in the works. I should be making Christmas gifts, but it feels right to get the beds in order for some reason. It must be the cold weather.
3. We still haven’t raked our yard. I was going to do it yesterday, but it started raining. It is still raining. There is just something wrong about having the Christmas decorations out and having to rake the yard. I’m just saying.
4. I am way behind on the Christmas gift procuring/making. I am normally much more prepared. Procrastination is about to rear its ugly head.
5. Every spring I get mad at myself for not planting daffodils in the fall. Looks like I will be cursing my own good name again in April.
6. I bought myself some rain boots. I have been looking for the right pair for a long time. They came just in time (see number 3 above).
7. I like eating leftover dessert for breakfast. Friday and Saturday I had apple pie. Yum.
8. I like sappy chick flicks and teenage dramas. I watched seasons 1 and 2 of The O.C. on DVD this summer. I am about halfway through season 3. Definitely a guilty pleasure.
I am not going to tag anyone. Go ahead and join in if you want.
See you all later.
i was just looking at all of the leaves in my yard…glad to know i’m not the only one!
Very cute boots! The perfect color for you!!
It sounds like you had a lovely hoiday, welcome back! Love those rain boots š
I have a draft of this meme sitting in my post list right now…
love the passion tea. and the boots. and the dessert for breakfast.
that was a great list for a slow moving monday. (I am having one of those too.) I can’t imagine having christmas decorations out and leaves to rake at the same time…that does seem wrong. but you do have the perfect green boots (surprise surprise) for the occasion. that has to help! š
This whole season is a little wierd around here too. The leaves were very late to fall off the trees, and yet Thanksgiving was so early.
I never rake them though. I curse myself come spring when I have to just mow them over and over again to mulch them into the new grass though. LOL
Oh, I am so glad to know someone else is into teen dramas. I will watch all of those WB-type shows.
Great boots…and um, we haven’t raked either…and we DID put up our Christmas decorations. We’re hopeless.
Tazo passion is my fave too. I have it in bags and loose. I even take it with me to restaurants and just order hot water. Waitresses love this š
We were “fortunate” this year that my younger stepson misbehaved just in time to receive leaf raking as punishment. Could it be that my hubby didn’t want to rake them either?
yep, dessert for breakfast. my favorite.
love your green boots.
Fun list and Cute boots! I have a cute pair too and completely forgot about them while raking — in the rain — yesterday. You’re so right — the leaves and Christmas are just wrong!
I’m dying for som wellies!! š Too cute!
wow… nice to get to know you a bit more… luv the wellies and I am right there with you on the chick flicks thing…. nothing like a bit of mindlessdrama…
luv Abby
I love those adorable boots š
you know i love a good meme – the more random the better. i love dessert for breakfast, too. and i’m lame in all the same ways. and i love those boots.
Nice to see I’m not the only one who is slow on Mondays yet I don’t have a holiday weekend excuse!
Wow, such cool boots!! Won’t you look flash raking the leaves!
I’ve already raked twice and have to go out and do it again sometime this week. Love the boots. And I’m with you on the teen dramas and chick flicks. Was it Thanksgiving that Mean Girls was on USA? Not sure, but watched some of it and now have to put it in my Netflix queue because I forgot how good it is.
you’re so good. i’ve been tagged twice. still have yet to post my 4 (or was it 5?) random things about me. making people into elves is fun. but this one is funner: http://heinekendraughtkeg.com/
What gorgeous boots – I also fancy them in the traffic-light yellow. Shame Australia is so far away. Sounds like you are having a lovely ‘nesting’ time over there.
The “make yourself into an elf” thing just about made my day! I also love your rainboots and couldn’t agree more that a piece of chocolate cake is the best breakfast ever!
Eeek! Those boots are PERFECT for you! So cute, so practical… and so green.
Snappy teenage dramas, huh? Have you gotten at all sucked in to Gossip Girl? I watch two hours of t.v. a week, and that’s one of them. There. I’ve admitted it in public.
I LOVE those boots!
