Quotes and phrases. Some are inspiring, others motivational and a few can be rather witty. There are entire Pinterest boards dedicated to the wonderfully witty, insanely inspiring, and painfully truthful words of the world. It now appears that I've become a slight quote-enthusiast myself and naturally, I can't keep them to myself! So, as I listen to my rainy day playlist and snuggle beneath a plaid blanket, I thought to share a few of my favorite for the month of September:
What are some of your favorite quotes?
Another month has gone by and I'm sitting here in my bedroom, curtains drawn, twinkling lights plugged in, wondering where August went. Secretly, I'm smiling about the end of summer. Gone are the days of sunscreen and sweltering temperatures. (One can only hope.) You never really know what you're going to get in Florida, but being the winter-loving gal I am, I'm dreaming of a somewhat chilly next few months. (Of course, by "chilly" I mean upper 60's... But I'm not complaining.)
Though I happen to live in one of the hottest states in the country, it doesn't hurt to have options for the rare days it gets a bit chiller than the usual. In preparation for this year's cold spell, I recently purchased some cozy knits and sweaters for myself. (Some of the them even have little pockets!!) As unpractical as it sounds, I seem to have quite a few more long-sleeved items in my closet than not.
The long-time tradition of making comfort foods and drinking hot chocolate in adorable coffee mugs is about to begin and I'm dying of excitement. However, weather isn't the only thing to celebrate in the coming seasons. There are plenty of holidays, birthdays, and homecomings to enjoy. (I'm smiling just thinking about them!)
Until the wintery weather arrives, I'll be here in my fuzzy socks, pretending it isn't 88 and rising.
Have any chilly days appeared for you yet? Let me know and I'll be sure to live vicariously through your comment.
When bed rest is almost essential to a full recovery you tend to get creative in attempting to avoid complete and utter boredom. These are some revelations that came to be while being sick in bed for the past 4 days:
1) Watching an entire season of a Canadian television series on Netflix is by far the only productive thing possible.
2) There seems like no limit to the amount of times one can cough in a 30-second interval.
3) You online shop. A LOT.
4) Obviously having way too much time on your hands means creating a dozen new Pinterest boards of things you will never need/use in your entire life. (But actually, you never know if you'll need outfit ideas for twin girls that you may or may not have 15 years from now. So whose really the smart one?)
5) Yes, indeed you can eat the entire pint Talenti gelato in one sitting.
6) Taking naps is a sacred act of pure bliss.
7) Finding out there isn't any more decongestion pills at 9pm is worse than the actual reason for taking them because you'll be thinking about it the rest of the night. (As if falling asleep whilst not being able to breathe wasn't hard enough.)
8) You write tons of blog posts. (The creativeness apparently just flows out of you when I'm sick.)
How do you spend your sick days?
