This week flew by.  I feel like we blinked and September came and went.  The weather here has been so freaking hot which has been frustrating, but I’ve been watching Gilmore Girls all week while I work so it has helped keep me in a fall mood… aaaand maybe even a Christmas mood, too, since I’m currently watching one of the Christmas episodes as I type.  I have to say I’m not mad about it.  ;o)

Now if we can just get the weather to cooperate!  We’ve had a bit of a reprieve for the last couple of days due to some rain that has been sweeping through, but unfortunately, the ridiculously hot temps will be back next week.  And the weather in the mountains isn’t looking much better for our trip either.  Apple-picking in the 80 degree temps, anyone?  Sigh.

Anyway, time to share some favorites from the week!

O N E – Girls Night

My girlfriends and I met up Monday night to celebrate two birthdays – one for April, and one for Katie – since they are both September babies.  The birthday girls chose Bonefish because it was Martini Monday and we spent the evening sipping on all the Pomegranate Martinis, eating all the delicious food, and chatting away.  We also had a chance to discuss Friendsgiving plans and I think we’re actually going to be able to make it work!  I’m SO excited, y’all!  Looks like I might get that check on the ol’ bucket list after all!

T W O – Comparison Pictures

Last weekend the kids were dressed in their Saturday best (AKA Georgia gear) for church, so I stopped them on the way in to take a picture because they looked so darn cute. 

Later that evening, when I was going through the pictures I realized that it looks a whole lot like this one from two years ago…

But where have my babies gone?!

Oh man, it broke my heart in two to see how drastically they’ve changed in such a short amount of time.  That picture from two years ago has been my wallpaper on my phone ever since I snapped it, so I’m thinking that now is the time to finally replace it.

T H R E E – Best Candy Ever

My favorite candy of all-time is Kit Kats and my favorite kind of chocolate of all-time is dark chocolate.  Put the two together and you have one of my favorite things EVARRRR.  I’m only ever able to find the dark chocolate Kit Kats around this time of year, and I usually have to buy a multi-pack with the regular Kit Kats and white chocolate Kit Kats that I don’t want, so I only get to have a few of the dark chocolate ones each year. 

Well friends, THIS YEAR THEY HAVE ENTIRE BAGS OF JUST DARK CHOCOLATE ONES!!!! 

Ask me how many bags I bought.

Go ahead, ask!

THREE. 

Face palm.

I cannot stop eating them.  But you can bet that I’m going to go buy some more to ensure that I have enough to last until next September when they put them out again.  Haha.

F O U R – This Dress

As you all know, Facebook and Instagram are always sliding little ads in between posts these days, and the other day an ad for Walmart fashion popped up in my feed.  This dress was the cover photo and it is so cute that I actually clicked over to check it out.  I need another dress like I need a hole in the head, so I didn’t buy one, but I sure do want to!  It’s only $15.98 and it comes in four different colors.  It would be cute with wedges during the hot months and it would be even cuter with booties and a long sweater cardigan during the cold months.  Walmart fashion is just killing it, y’all!  (And apparently so are the marketing people for Facebook and Instagram.  #clickbait)

F I V E – Planner Review

Did you catch my review of my new Simplified Planner earlier this week?  It might just be my favorite planner ever, so if you’re looking for one for 2019, head over to the post to check it out!  You better hurry, though, because once they are all sold out, they will be gone as the company doesn’t restock. 

I cannot wait to start using mine in 2019 and I’m planning on doing an entire post on how I use it.  I’ve been asked repeatedly to do a post about how I use my planner, but I’ve never been able to find a planner that I love enough to feel comfortable sharing.  Since I’ve finally found THE ONE, I will hopefully be able to crank out a post early next year.

Happy Friday, y’all!
