Goooood morning! I hope you’re all having a good week so far! Mine is going alright, although back into one of those not so great moods. Hoping a weekend away is just what I need! I may or may not have spent the majority of my day yesterday reading for fun… But hey, I also cleaned my apartment, so productive? Right? Oh well. Back at it today I guess! And, back to another round of thursday thoughts!
1. The Chiefs play the Broncos this weekend, which is a pretty big deal. It’s the first game that I’m legitimately concerned about (although we’re TOTALLY going to win, because we’re going to the SUPERBOWL!). Anyway, a good friend of mine is a big Broncos fan (traitor) and we’ve not only put a friendly wager on the game but are “trash” talking one another. Good thing he knows this is as intense as my trash talking gets…
2. Last week I was walking home from somewhere or other when I saw this lovely truck parked outside a convenience store up in Lakeview. Sadly no, it wasn’t a food truck… just someone’s regular means of transportation…
3. Another fun find: I was in a Walgreens this weekend and saw these holographic bookmarks that brought me right back to elementary school. Sadly I was not about to spend $4 on a joke gift. Really? FOUR dollars??
4. It SNOWED! Alright, in all honesty I was too thrilled since I had to walk home in the wind/snow/sleet thing that was happening, and the thought of the holidays approaching makes me cringe on the inside since I still don’t have a job, but it was a liiiiittle bit nice.
5. Last night I went to a DIY Wine Marker and Wine (well, Prosecco) Event hosted by Erin from Color Me Styled at Langford Market in Lakeview.
Although the craft wasn’t really my thing, I enjoyed meeting a few new people, looking at some cute clothes, and doing a smidge of networking. These ladies had some great ideas for my job search.
I would also like to note that this picture makes Erin look like she’s using scissors with her eyes closed. Didn’t anyone teach you scissor safety in Kindergarten, Erin?
6. While I was walking to the Walgreens (see #3) I came across this random street with BIG houses and, wait for it, BIG YARDS. Unheard of in my neighborhood. One house had a really cute painting on their garage door making it look like the road continues on. How creative is that?
7. I am going to DENVER this weekend!!! I had a Southwest travel voucher that I had to use by the middle of this month (like had to travel not just apply it to another trip) so I called up (okay, texted) my BFF in Denver and now I’m going to visit! Since she won’t be in Kansas City for any of the holidays, I’m really excited to be able to see her now!
Quality flip phone camera photo from back in the day…
8. Since I am heading to Denver bright and early tomorrow morning and I won’t be bringing along my laptop, I will see you all next week! Have a great weekend!
How do you feel about the snow? Anyone feeling a smidge apprehensive about the holidays?
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen on a walk lately?
Chiefs or Broncos?
uh oh
those bookmarks were MADE FOR ME.
I mightcould spend 4.00 🙂
Haha check out your local walgreens!
That van and garage door are amazing! And don’t you realize you should have bought a bookmark? They’re a “hot buy”!!
I was excited because we had our first snow 2 days ago, but what was exciting is that it didn’t stick around! Yay! I don’t mind watching it as long as it goes away and I don’t have to shovel it!
Enjoy your trip and visit!
Haha very true – shoveling isn’t the best part of snow
Ahh! You know I love you friend, but I am a broncos fan all the way! After being with my husband over 9 years, he has converted me lol! 😉
Die-hard Chiefs fan since birth – no one can change that!
I went for a late lunch in River North on Monday.. the snow was soooo pretty! Oh wait, then I had to sit in traffic on 90/94 and 57 heading back to the southside around 5pm… the snow was no longer soooo pretty! Have a great weekend in Denver, my bestie lives in the Vail area, I love it out there!
Oh gosh, I’m sure the traffic was AWFUL!
Broncos!! Sorry, but not sorry ;). I’m bummed that the two games I really want to watch this week are both night games! I am not a night person! Damn east coast!
Haha it was not good that the game was on at 6:30pm and we started drinking at 9:00am… My friend definitely was ready to go home at about 9:30… watched the last quarter at her apartment!
That wine event looks so fun!
I love the snow in December and January, but I’m not ready for the snow just yet!
Have fun in Denver!
Haha I agree – it was pretty but snow can hold off for a bit!
CHIEFS CHIEFS CHIEFS!!!
Hope you’ll be back home by Sunday night so you won’t have to endure watching the game amongst Bronco fans…
Haha nope, purposefully stayed their to watch it with my friend!
we had a little snow two nights ago, well snow in terms of North Carolina snow haha
haha you get some snow! At least in the mountains…
That little mural on the garage door reminds me of two things: Road Runner, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (the first one is a fond memory, the second, not so much).
Have fun in Denver!
oh my gosh I LOVE Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
awwwww baby! i hope the weekend gets you out of the dumps! i think we just need people around us that love us to get us feeling happy again! or do i need to send you more almond butter? 😉 HEHEHEHEHEHE JUUUUUUST kidding! I know this weekend will do the trick for ya! WISH YOU WERE COMING TO SEE ME 😀 haha
Aww thanks Meg!!!
I love that garage door, so stunning 🙂
Right? So cool!
I don’t get football, I don’t even know the teams! Lol! But you had me with the wine, I am down with any kind if wine event!
My mom is a huge football fan, so I grew up watching it on Sundays. Surprisingly still don’t know much more than the basics and most teams!
Have SO much fun in Denver!! I bet this weekend will put you back in an awesome mood. Those job searches can be so so hard, so keep your chin up, forget about it, and have a blast. Your mojo will return!!
xo
Thanks, Annette!
