I'm....

Dreaming ...
of the 3 day weekend ahead of us. And Friday is a teacher workday, which almost feels like a vacation since I'll actually have time to get my work done instead of working it in between seeing my students. 

Reading ...
The Royal We--I finally got back into reading (this weekend of crummy weather made that super easy to do) and have been absolutely loving The Royal We. Highly recommend it so far!

Listening to...
Downtown (which I shared with you last week as the weirdest and catchiest song ever), and Lean On by Major Lazer

Watching ...
ALL THE SHOWS!!!! Ladies of London, Below Deck (Rocky, Dane and chef Leon are all nuts), The Good Wife, Big Bang Theory Homeland, Ballers....I've officially given up on Greys Anatomy, though #RIPGreys

Thinking ... 
I should really plan a trip to go visit the wineries in our area again, especially as the leaves start to change--it's the perfect scenery for some wine drinking!

(from last year)

Cooking...
cool weather meals, like soups! I tried out a cauliflower chowder on Tuesday night and it was tasty! Recipe coming soon, but a teaser picture in the meantime:

Drinking ...
I finally had my first PSL of the season over the weekend, and then had one again on Monday because we ran out of coffee creamer at the house, and that was all I needed as an excuse to get another PSL!

Texting...
in the mornings with my friends. About pointless things that make me laugh and start my day off right :)

Wanting ...
some cute dark cranberry clothes, like what I posted about yesterday. I found the perfect combination of the cranberry color, and the elbow-patch trend:

it has gold glitter elbow patches!!!

~I think I'm in love~

Looking forward to ... 
getting to see my in-laws (parents, SILs and kids) this weekend. We haven't seen them since the last week of summer vacation at the beach (minus various Facetimes with my nieces), so it'll be really nice to get to catch up and see some of the kids' games. Plus, it's a long weekend which means we wont have to rush up and rush back.

Enjoying ...
that we've gotten some really gorgeous mid-70 degree days this week after the icky, chilly, rainy week we had last week. It's been nice to drive home in the afternoons with the windows down and the sunroof open.

Laughing ...
at this super cute dog pillow--it totally made me laugh when I saw it for sale on zulily. If it wasn't $28 I'd totally get it

Loving....
zulily. I always thought it was only for kids' stuff, but they have a TON of really great things. I just got a bunch of Fall decor from them; they also have boots/apparel on sale, and right now they have an essential oil diffuser on sale for $10 less than getting it through Amazon. Highly recommend checking it out!

$24 on zulily

Hating...
that I didn't get a photo of this guy on a rooftop near my work yesterday. He was wearing a red and white thick striped shirt, jeans, brown work boots and totally looked like the Where's Waldo character. In case you were looking, I found him--he works on roofs now!

Trying ...
the essential oil thing--a friend of mine is totally into them, and the more I see about how awesome they are from people like Paige, the more I think I need to try them.

Wearing ...
stuff from my latest Loft haul! This one is a definite favorite (can you tell I'm seriously obsessed with dark cranberry/purple colors?)

Pinning...
lots of recipes like soups and other warm, comfort foods that I'll share on Jessi's and my What's Hap-"Pinning" link up on Wednesdays!

Feeling ...
excited that next weekend we'll get to see our friends in Minnesota, including MG's best friend and fiance who will be coming out from NY, get to go to a Vikings game, and spend time with our friends' adorable little kids too. The gang will be back together again!

Grateful For...
MG--for all of the sweet things he does, the ways he knows how to make me feel better instantly, and for being by my side through all of the ups and downs of life.
