Coffee, Cocktails & Chaos: Missing Bulldogs, Swimming Bears & French Fries !

Hey Peeps!!!

I'm here on Thursday again, bringing you another week's worth of caffeine, OOTDs, and the ongoing questionable food choices that come with being me.

Hold on to your britches, because we've got cooler temperatures, a swimming bear, a missing dog, and more French fries than one person should rightfully consume!

And that's just the stuff I can remember. 🤣

🐾 The Doggie Diaries

Well, well, well. Let's start this week's Doggie Diaries with the one and only Miss Rouxby Sue, who decided to go MISSING for approximately an hour and a half this past Monday.

Y'all.

If you ever need to wake up quickly on a Monday morning without coffee, just let your crazy bulldog disappear to gosh-knows-where and drag half the neighborhood into the search.

Works like a charm. I do NOT recommend it.

Monday morning, I had the doors open, enjoying this glorious fall weather, and Little Miss Divalicious was wandering in and out of the house while Hubster was walking Reggie.

She'd gone outside, and I hadn't seen her for a while when I heard a sad little yip. Not a normal Rouxby bark, but more of an I might need some help over here kind of yip.

So I went to investigate.

I searched the backyard high and low and everywhere in between.

No Rouxby.

I ran inside, yelling her name, checking all her usual spots, and offering treats.

Still no Rouxby.

Hubster returned from his walk, and we BOTH started looking.

Nothing. Not a peep.

At this point, I'm 100% convinced someone has swiped my girl from the backyard because she's not tall enough to get out on her own. And let me tell you, I have now spun completely out of control like a cat on meth!

I sent a frantic text to our neighborhood ladies' group, and OH. MY. GOSH.

You guys, they showed up in a BIG way.

Everyone was searching high and low for little Roux. I'm a complete mess, Hubster is probably wondering if I've reached a level of crazy he's never witnessed before, and the neighbors just keep looking.

My sweet neighbor SC decided to come inside for a fresh set of eyes because OBVIOUSLY I'd reached maximum panic and probably couldn't have found my own arse at that moment.

And then…

We heard little yips.

I went flying through the house like my pants were on fire, and there stood the little 💩.

IN. MY. BATHROOM.

WHERE HAD SHE BEEN???

Nobody knows!

An hour and a half of searching, half the neighborhood on high alert, and this little diva was apparently somewhere in the house the entire time.

I kissed her little face approximately 47 times and then proceeded to read her the riot act about NEVER, EVER doing that to me again.

I'm sure she understood every single one of my blubbering words. 

I sent this picture to the neighbors to let everyone know Little Diva was home and safe, thanked them profusely for helping us search, and expressed my appreciation that nobody called the folks with the white coats and restraints to come collect me.

And look at her.

Does that look like the face of a dog who feels even remotely sorry???

I THINK NOT!

Meanwhile, in Reggie World…

Speaking of little 💩s, as I started writing this, we were T-minus 45 minutes from Reggie's appointment for shots.

He'd already had most of his anxiety medications, with one more liquid sedative to take before we headed out.

Anything to make the Tasmanian Devil a little less anxious!

UPDATE: IT WENT SO WELL!!!

He was pretty heavily medicated, but Dr. McEndree was nothing short of a superhero, and we all came home with our body parts intact!

Reggie is home sleeping off all that medication and doing fabulous, provided Little Miss Diva leaves him alone.

Y'all, if I had champagne in the house, I'd bust it out to celebrate!

A successful vet visit AND all the humans still have their fingers? That's a WIN!

👚 What I've Been Putting on My Body to Go Out in Public

Okay, let's get to the questionable clothing choices I've made over the past week.

I mean, I DID actually get dressed a few times to leave the house, so there's that!

Friday

Last Friday, I had to get up and get moving because I had an embroidery class with my Silver Frogs.

And for the record, I have YET to do my homework for tomorrow's class.

Problem student, indeed!

Since we're actually experiencing some fall weather, I pulled on my britches (XS)  from Wallyworld and my sweatshirt (XS)).

I'm 100% sure I wore shoes, but Rouxby Sue is covering my feet in the photo, and I cannot recall what they were.

But shoes WERE worn!!!

You'll just have to trust me on that one.

On the way home, I stopped to do my civic duty and voted early.

I posted about it on Instagram, and honestly, the best part is that for several days afterward, I stopped receiving unwanted texts from all those yahoos running for office!

Now THAT is something worth celebrating.

Friday Night: A Swimming Bear!

Hubster and the MereBear were in Austin for Court's dance show, so I got on the ol' Gametime site and bought myself a ticket to see a swimming bear.

Or maybe it was Teddy Swims.

Either way, I did something I never thought I'd do in my life.

I WENT TO A CONCERT ALONE!!!

Yessireeeee Bob, I DID!

And it was FANTASTIC!!!

The couples sitting around me were so nice, and there was a group of five ladies behind me who let me sing and dance right along with them.

Turns out, going to a concert alone isn't nearly as scary as I thought. Who knew???

A clothing change was in order because it had started raining again, and I knew it would be chilly inside the arena.

And MERCY, was it ever!

I pulled on my favorite barrel pants (XS), a plain white tee, and an old denim jacket. I finished it off with my purple Fluevog boots (8)

Now, those boots have a story.

I bought them in New Orleans when AprilMayJune and I went shopping after partaking in a few of Bartender Courtney's Bloody Marys.

But that's a story for another day.

Let's just say there was some explaining to do when the credit card bill arrived. 😜

Good thing I grabbed that denim jacket because it was FRIGID in that arena.

I almost bought a dang $70 sweatshirt just to keep from freezing to death!

Saturday

The next day was Halloween, and for some reason, I completely forgot to snap an outfit picture.

Not that you missed much.

Denim shorts and a VERY old Halloween sweatshirt for handing out candy to all the little goblins who came to our house.

Fashion icon, I am not.

Sunday

Sunday had Hubster, MereBear, and me heading over to Weatherford Trade Days for a bit before spending the rest of the day hanging around the house.

I pulled on my Vineyard Vines (s)  and Gap shorts (26.

I wore tennis shoes because they got really muddy, and I had to wash them afterward. But the picture was snapped either before I put them on or after we got home.

I'm not entirely sure.

But there's a picture, and I feel like I deserve some kind of credit for that!

Also, we had the time change, and now it feels like midnight at 5 p.m.

My brain is officially discombobulated.

Monday

I must have looked REALLY ratchet on Monday because I have absolutely no outfit pictures.

Then again, we spent half the morning searching for Little Miss Thing, and she took approximately 20 years off my life.

Can't say snapping an OOTD was particularly high on my priority list.

I'm just happy I remembered to put on pants!

Tuesday

Tuesday was hair day!

I washed and colored my hair, which already made it a banner day.

Especially since I didn't have to conduct a neighborhood-wide search for the little Houdini.

We also started working on our Mardi Gras tambourines, so I was actually somewhat productive!

I pulled on some brown/white gingham pants (s) , which Hubster later informed me were WAY too baggy.

Well, thank you for that unsolicited fashion critique, sir.

I say comfort wins over style any day!

I threw on a sweatshirt from Tar-jay that I bought last year and called it good.

Wednesday

Yesterday was Happy Hour night with Hubster!

I grabbed my AG Brindley (27) jeans, rugby shirt (s) and my tennis shoes (8) from the Wall of Mart.

I also had to run to the vet to pick up Reggie's medications, but I wanted something a little warmer since we planned to enjoy a patio for Happy Hour.

And I knew that once darkness surrounded us at approximately 5 p.m., I'd be chilly.

Seriously, this time change is for the birds!

Thursday

And finally, we're up to today.

The dreaded shot day.

Full confession: If you notice my shoes aren't all the way on in the picture, it's because I forgot to take an outfit photo.

So I ran back, slipped my shoes on halfway, and snapped one.

You're welcome.

My trusty Joe's Jeans shorts (27), striped t-shirt (s) and leopard Vans (8)were the outfit of choice for taking Reggie to the vet.

Tennis shoes were a MUST.

I wasn't about to wear sandals or slides and risk being the last person out of the room if things went sideways.

Errrrrybody knows the last one out is the one who gets bitten! 🤣

Thankfully, no running was required!

🍔 Let's Talk Food

I hope you didn't come here today looking for inspiration for your family's weekly meals.

Because if you did…

Well, you're going to be SORELY disappointed.

The food situation has been sparse, and there's even one night when I don't remember what we ate.

But let's see what we've got!

Friday: Fries and a Swimming Bear

Friday night, I ventured to the newly renamed Ariat Arena to see Mr. Swims, who was, by the way, dressed as SHREK!

That was NOT on my bingo card!

While the opening act was playing, I grabbed some fries and my beverage of choice.

And really, why would this dinner surprise anyone?

I think we've firmly established my love of French fries at this point.

Personally, I think we should focus on the fact that I actually remembered to take a food picture.

FOCUS ON THE POSITIVES, PEOPLE!

And in true Samma fashion, I'm going to give you another little food recap and ask you to use your imagination because I was once again rather lackadaisical about taking pictures.

Either that, or I'm getting a case of old-timers brain.

Could go either way at this point in life!

Saturday: Halloween Porch Party

Saturday was Halloween, and at the last minute, we decided to invite some neighbors over to sit on the porch and help us pass out candy.

I whipped up some queso, grabbed some premade turkey sandwiches from the grocery store, a veggie tray, popcorn, and, of course, we had a LOT of leftover Halloween candy.

And THAT, my friends, is why you always buy Halloween candy you actually enjoy.

You're either going to have too much or not enough, so you might as well be prepared to raise your glucose levels with something you like!

That's just good planning.

Sunday: More Fries. Obviously.

In a development that will surprise absolutely nobody, I ordered loaded fries.

Come on, you'd have been disappointed if I hadn't!

Since I was sharing with the MereBear, I asked them to put the brisket on the side.

I don't eat chicken, and she doesn't eat meat, so everybody was happy!

And for a food truck, that was some kind of tasty brisket, Peeps!

For the record, I have ZERO recollection of what we ate for dinner that night.

Also, have I mentioned that I NEVER choose ranch dressing?

I know, I might be weird, but I find it way too overpowering.

There. Another completely random fact about me that you didn't ask for!

Monday: Costco Magic

Monday night, we had these little pizzas we picked up at Costco.

They were delicious when we sampled them at Costco and just… okay when we made them at home.

I'm convinced they put some kind of Costco magic in those samples.

Probably the same sorcery that makes you go in for paper towels and leave with $300 worth of things you didn't know you needed.

SORCERERS!

Tuesday: A Baked Potato Extravaganza

Tuesday night, we had baked potatoes.

Yep. Baked potatoes for dinner.

I told y'all, these dinners haven't exactly been photo-worthy.

But they were good because who doesn't love a baked potato?

Wednesday: Happy Hour Returns!

WOOHOOO! Happy Hour night!

We headed to The Archibald, and while it turned out we weren't getting Happy Hour prices, the food was DEEEELISH!

You'll hear more about our evening when I get the Happy Hour post up, which will most likely be next week.

No sense making promises I won't keep! 😜

Look, if you ever think I'm starving, just send me pizza and French fries.

Those seem to be two of my main food groups lately.

Thursday: An Actual Dinner!

Since I totally forgot earlier, I'm going to include tonight's dinner in the rotation because:

1. I forgot to take a picture.

2. It wasn't fries or pizza.

3. By next week, I'll probably have forgotten we ate it.

We had Irish stew from Costco, and once we added some salt and pepper, it was pretty tasty!

Look at us, eating something resembling a proper meal!

If you thought my diet looked like that of a four-year-old last week, I can't say I've done much to change your opinion.

Don't worry. At some point, we're going to have to get back to some kind of responsible eating around here.

And in MORE surprising news, I have YET to make a proper grocery store run.

At this point, it's becoming a game to see how long we can actually make it.

Stay tuned. Things could get interesting!

📚 Reading

I'm still reading The Primrose Murder Academy, and I would like to formally retract my previous statement about the little girl not being a brat.

Because she most DEFINITELY is still a brat!

Hopefully, the book will be good enough to make me forget how much that little turd irritates me.

It's just a book, Samma.

JUST. A. BOOK.

I haven't made much progress on The Impossible Fortune  because I completely forgot that I have a class starting Monday, and I haven't even BEGUN reading the assigned book.

So now I'm also reading/listening to W is for Wasted.

Nothing like a little last-minute panic reading to keep life exciting!

📺 Watching

Right on the heels of Halloween Baking Championship comes Holiday Baking Championship, and my pastry dreams continue!

All those gorgeous cakes, cookies, and desserts, and here I am eating French fries for dinner.

The irony is not lost on me.

Hubster is currently driving me BONKERS because he wants to watch The Traitors, and I'm over here trying to get this blog post finished.

Sir, some of us have important literary obligations!

We watched the first episode of The Gilded Age, and WOW!

That show came back with a HELLUVA start!!!

We're still watching Survivor and The Amazing Race, and the DVR is already filling up with Christmas movies!

Not to worry, though.

It's hunting season, which means Hubster will be venturing off to the deer lease, and Rouxby Sue and I will be snuggled up on the couch living our best holiday movie lives.

Bring on the cheesy Christmas romances, predictable endings, and ridiculously decorated small towns!

I'm READY!

📅 What's Coming Up?

Tomorrow is my last hand-embroidery class, and hopefully we'll get that little pink snow lady stitched up and ready for the Christmas tree.

Assuming, of course, that I actually get my homework done.

Details, details.

Hubster's birthday is Sunday, and we're planning a low-key hot dog roasting dinner with some of the neighbors.

I'll REALLY try to take some food pictures.

No promises, though. You know how that goes!

Monday is my first Bucket List Books class, so I'll be frantically reading and listening, trying to get that book finished before then.

And next Friday, I have my first class on Jazz Family Tree.

Seriously, do I take the most random classes ever or WHAT?

One day I'm embroidering Christmas ornaments, the next I'm reading mysteries, and then I'm learning about jazz history.

Keeping life exciting over here, am I right?

And hopefully, next week will involve fewer missing dogs, less vet drama, and maybe even a meal that doesn't feature French fries.

Although let's not get carried away with that last one.

Until next time, Peeps!

Peace, Love, & French Fries! 🍟

Coffee, Clothes & Chaos : Nancy Drew, Creepy Clowns & Pathetic Dinners

Hey Peeps!!!

I'm here on a Thursday bringing you a week's worth of caffeine, wardrobes, and the usual zaniness that comes from being in Samma's House.

Sit down, buckle up, and get ready, because we've got fashion (or lack thereof), hair rollers, Nancy Drew, creepy clowns, and pathetic sad dinners to talk about!

🐾 The Doggie Diaries

As far as the puppers go, it's been relatively quiet around here this past week. Of course, all H-E-double-hockey-sticks will break loose now that I've said that!

Rouxby Sue is still a toy fanatic, but sometimes she can't decide if she wants to nap or play with her toys. Obviously, the best solution is to lie on top of them in case you wake up and decide you want to play. Priorities, people!

I swung by the vet's office today to pick up Reggie's calming meds since his appointment for shots is next week. Let's just say I hope that when I call tomorrow, they have some idea of something stronger because what we tried didn't touch that crazy boy.

I feel like I'm getting ready to watch The Exorcist play out with a dog next week!

Hmmm… this seems like just the sort of chore a newly retired husband should take on. I'm just saying!

👚 What I've Been Putting on My Body to Go Out in Public

Let's take us a little trippy-dippy trip back to Wednesday, October 21st, shall we?

If you saw my new Happy Hour post, then you know last Wednesday was the day we went to The Bearded Lady for Happy Hour and dinner. Needless to say, I had to get dressed, shoes and all.

Wonders never cease!

These are my olive-green shorts (27) from Evereve and my blue Nora Muscle Tee (s), also from Evereve. I was apparently a walking billboard for Evereve that day!

The belt is OLD, but it pulled the two colors together perfectly. And I so thoughtfully took a close-up of all three pieces together.

I know. My generosity is incredible!

Oh, and in case you wondered, I slipped on those very old and much-loved Born mules. Perfect for some patio sipping when you venture away from your back porch.

Oh, in case you wondered, I slipped on those very old and loved Born mules for shoes.  Perfect for some patio sipping when you leave your back porch. 

Thursday

Moving on to Thursday, Hubster headed to Louisiana, and I got dressed again to do some volunteer work with the Silver Frogs at The Welman Project.

Y'all, if you're like me and didn't know anything about this amazing nonprofit, click over and read all about them. It's an incredible organization that helps teachers make their classrooms fun and exciting without having to spend their own money.

I pulled on my jeans (2) and that fun Snoopy T-shirt (s), along with a very old and very well-loved pair of Vans(8) tennis shoes. I needed to be comfortable and ready to do whatever work they needed.

Now, I need y'all to understand something. It's well known that I CANNOT cut a straight line with scissors.

So what do you think they had me doing???

Cutting fabric for sensory books.

To all the teachers who receive the packets containing my fabric squares, I sincerely apologize. I tried!

After that, I did super-exciting things like stopping by the bank, the car wash, and the post office.

Try to control your jealousy over my glamorous lifestyle.

Also, does anyone else have a near panic attack trying to get the car lined up on those car wash rails? I swear, I need a spotter!

Friday

Friday brought another exciting day of watering all the outdoor plants, visiting the post office AGAIN, and cleaning the bulk of the downstairs.

My clothing was presentable yet comfortable, and what else would you expect from me?

The same green-and-white Wallyworld shorts (s) you've seen a bajillion times, along with my Disturbed concert tee.

Can you take any more excitement???

Saturday: Rock-n-Roll MeMaw Meets Nancy Drew

Saturday was a busy day, so I had to get dressed to take care of some things before my big evening out.

Those blue Sanctuary shorts came out of the closet, along with my Led Zeppelin tee from the Tar-jay.

And then there were the Velcro rollers, which stayed in my hair ALLLLLLL day long while I finished cleaning the downstairs.

I looked like a rock-n-roll MeMaw!

Then it was time to become…

NANCY DREW!!!!

My skirt (2) and navy cardigan (s) (which was WAY too warm to wear) are both from Walmart. My green Nancy Drew T-shirt (s)and knee socks came from Amazon, and those loafers (8)were a Nordstrom sale purchase this year.

And that headband…

KILLED. MY. HEAD.

I actually think it bruised the area behind my ears. That sucker went straight into the trash!

Anywho, I stopped by one neighbor's house for an October birthday party. She has an October birthday, as do many of her family members and friends, so she threw herself a little shindig.

I was about the only person in costume. Most everyone else went home and changed before heading to another neighbor's Halloween party.

Crisper always goes ALLLLLLL out for her Halloween party, and I couldn't miss it!

Here is Nancy as she's leaving the party with that super-creepy clown thing.

Nancy is checking out the clown for clues. Notice that I'm wearing sensible loafers in case I need to run from that creepy butt clown!

A detective must always be prepared.

Sunday

Sunday arrived, and I needed to get some things done around the house. But first, I had to wash that hair.

Lordy, the amount of product and hairspray Nancy Drew needed to keep that style in place was REDONKULOUS!

I also did a keratin treatment, and y'all, it took me almost two hours TOTAL to get that hair done.

No wonder I don't do it more than twice a week!

I pulled on those now-famous blue Walmart shorts and my Paducah, KY, T-shirt.

And no, shoes were never put on all day!

shorts (2) shirt (s) -similar  sandals (8)

Manic Monday

Hubster was coming home, but first I had lunch with my Silver Frogs Gen-X group at Flower Child over on University.

We had a lovely lunch on the patio because HELLOOOO, the weather is still divine! We got to know each other a little better, enjoyed some yummy food, and then I headed home.

We ended up going out to dinner with RK and JK later that night, so I just wore the same thing.

Because changing clothes twice in one day is clearly asking too much.

Tuesday

I didn't have much going on Tuesday, except that I needed to clean up Hubster's office upstairs.

You know, it's not a work office anymore. It's a fun office, and it needed a good scrubbing!

I grabbed my gingham shorts (s) and my very old AMUK AMUK AMUK shirt. I figured I should wear my Halloween shirts this week because, you know, it's almost Halloween.

I did have to put on shoes and run to the ATM for cash and check Five Below for an item a friend was looking for.

My best guess? Silver Birkenstock sandals. Seems like a safe bet!

And speaking of exciting Tuesday activities, our lighting folks came and put up our Christmas lights!!!

WOOOHOOOO!!!

Yes, I know it's not Halloween yet. No, I do not care. Christmas lights make me happy! Plus those young firemen are very busy and repeat customers get their lights first before they take on new clients.  But as soon as Sunday hits, I'm going to start decorating for Christmas so shut your face about it! 

Later, I ran to Dunkin' Donuts and picked up a box of Munchkins to take to a little neighborhood ladies-only Happy Hour on a neighbor's back porch.

See? I'm not the only one who appreciates this weather!

I grabbed my J.Crew shorts (4) and cropped rugby polo (s) and threw on my Topsiders (8) before heading out.

HAH! Bet you thought I was going to say silver Birkenstocks, didn't you? Fooled you!

Also, I needed a sweater and failed to take one. It was a chilly ride home on the golf cart!

Apparently I also need a golf cart sweater to go with my car sweater.  Geez!!!

And That Brings Us to Today…

I pulled on my Gap shorts (XS) and Vineyard Vines T-shirt. I only had to run to the vet's office to pick up meds and take Hubster to the car dealership to get his truck.

They've had that truck for a WEEK AND A HALF and STILL haven't fixed it.

GRRRRR.

He should've bought a Sewell. IYKYK!

I did put on my old, ratty Converse shoes for the trip out of the house, so there's that.

And that, my friends, is the glamorous life of a newly retired household!

🍔 Let's Talk Food

Given that you've just listened to me ramble about what I've worn and where I've been, and the fact that Hubster was gone for part of the week, you shouldn't be surprised that the food situation is lacking again.

Let's see if I even have anything worth showing you!

You already know we went to The Bearded Lady for Happy Hour last Wednesday and had the $5 burger and fries. Here's another look at half of my burger.

Thursday night was the first night Hubster was gone, so I made myself an egg salad salad.

I put some spring mix in a bowl, topped it with egg salad, sprinkled on some bacon, and added sliced cherry tomatoes.

It's SOOOOO good!!!

At some point that day, I also roasted some butternut squash for me and my little Rouxby Sue.

It's got fiber, which is supposed to help her anal glands.

JUST when you thought we'd get through a post without me talking about my dog's butt glands!

Joke's on you!

Now we've come to Friday, and you know what that means???!!!

🍒

POP-TARTS!!!!!!

Yep, I was home alone and celebrated a little Pop-Tart Friday.

And people… that is literally ALL the food pictures!

I promise I did eat… sort of.

Haha!

Let's do a recap and pretend there are amazing food photos to go along with it. Use that imagination!

• Friday night: A piece of leftover pizza from about a week earlier. 🍕

• Saturday: Party night! There was plenty of amazing food at both parties, but ya girl needed to talk and talk and TALK, so I barely nibbled. Priorities, people.

• Sunday: Leftover pasta with marinara sauce. I'm pretty sure it had been in the fridge for over two weeks. I mean, I DID get the refrigerator cleaned out! Okay, I checked the calendar. It was over THREE WEEKS old. Good GOSH!!

• Monday: Burgers at JD's. I had the kids' slider basket, and it was the perfect size for me.

• Tuesday: Hubster didn't feel very good all day. 💩 Too much TMI? I made him chicken noodle soup, and I'm sure I ate something. I couldn't tell you what it was, but you KNOW it wasn't chicken. I'm also sure Hubster insisted I eat something.

• Wednesday: Hubster made himself a big salad while I enjoyed Happy Hour munchies with the ladies. I really didn't eat much because I was talking and talking. If talking burned calories, I'd be SO TINY!

• Thursday: Hubster and the MereBear headed down to Austin and planned to have dinner on the road. I had a bowl of cereal.

I feel like my diet looks like that of a four-year-old!

Maybe next week I'll actually cook something. Or go grocery shopping. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

📚 Reading

I finished Family Ties & Alibi's, #28 in the Made in Savannah series. I love this series! It's fun and an easy read, and the mob families, casinos, and treasure hunts lead to some hilarious antics by the Garlucci clan.

I also started Primrose Murder Academy, the second book in the series. This was an ARC from NetGalley, and it doesn't release until March 2027.

I'm only a few chapters in, but so far, it's pretty good. And the little girl in the story isn't a complete brat like she was in the last book.

That's progress!

I'm also listening to The Impossible Fortune the fifth book in The Thursday Murder Club series.

I'm only a few chapters in, but it already feels like going home. I love these books and these characters!

And if I ever have to move into a retirement community, I'm totally starting a Thursday Murder Club of my own.

Consider yourselves warned.

 

📺 Watching

Obviously, I finished watching Halloween Baking Championship, and my favorite baker won!

WHOOP!

I'm about to wrap up this blog post so I can pour myself a glass of wine and watch The Traitors. Well, it's so late now that I'll probably skip the wine, or I'll be up tinkling all night.

We'll watch Survivor when Hubster gets back home, and I might catch The Amazing Race tomorrow night.

I also watched my first Christmas movie of the season, AND The Gilded Age returns Sunday night!

It's looking like a good TV week!

📅 What's Coming Up?

Tomorrow, I have a hand-embroidery class with Silver Frogs, and we're making a Christmas ornament this semester.

Y'all just try not to be jealous of my many talents! 🤣

Of course, Saturday is Halloween, and Hubster will be home to help me pass out candy to all the ghouls and goblins!

And then Reggie goes to the vet next Thursday for his attempt at getting his shots.

Peace be with us.

Hopefully, I'll get back into the swing of cooking, and we'll manage to squeeze in Happy Hour with Hubster. He was a little pouty about us not working one in this week.

I might even attempt a trip to the grocery store.

Shocking, I know!

Until next time…

Peace, Love, & Talk Talk
