Why hello there! I am in a bit of a writing slump right now and cannot think of a single thing to say. It has been this way for days... Not that I am just being lazy and decided to write a post without a word in this brain. So, instead of writing a whole bunch of words today, I decided to share a few blog posts that have made me happy to read. Because, when you cannot write, you read!
Oh, and a little update on the book club, Gone Girl. I have finished it and the book club is getting together to talk reads and see the movie this weekend. That means a review post will be on the blog next week along with an update on November's reads! I can say, however, that November's book is going to be a bit happier than the last two. For. Sure.
Why We can All Go Out and Buy White Furniture!
This post has made my day, nay week, nay life. There are few things I love more in the world of home design than white furniture. Unfortunately, the hubs has to be the voice of reason and remind we that when it comes to stains, I have the capabilities of a 4-year old eating spaghetti. That being said, I have yet to talk him into any of that beautiful, crisp, clean white furniture. That is, until now.
You see, the hubs respects Emily Henderson as much as I do and Emily Henderson has made a very good argument for why we can all now buy white furniture no matter the messy child/pets/self we have lurking in our home at the ready with jelly fingers and a need to color with permanent markers.
Truths for Floridians Loving this Cold
If you do not live in Florida, you may not know the heaven that has come upon us. In true November fashion, the weather has become crisp and cool with the sun always shining. November is the best month of the year and a pretty big reason the hubs and I chose it and an outdoor ceremony for our wedding. This article talks about all the things us Floridians do when it gets cold.
I have, literally, done almost every single thing on this list. It is so true and the only thing that makes me mildly sad is that I did not think of writing this post. For reals, Jenni, get it together! Seriously though, you should read this article so you can a) relate to it, or, b) understand us Floridians.
Oh, and the picture? The hubs took that last November at EPCOT. That sunset is just further proof that November is THE BEST in Florida. And that I am going through serious Disney withdrawals.
Inspiration to Keep Running
Have you ever been in a running slump? Welcome to my October. One day, I ran a mile and was convinced I was in the process of dying. That may be a bit dramatic, but running slumps happen and getting out of them is just as important as getting out of a workout slump (I have been guilty of those as well). This article may not talk directly about getting out of a running slump, but it sure does inspire me to run a bit further and a bit faster!
I love Lazy Girl Running and I love this article about her Dublin race. If you want to read all about it, part one can be found here and part two can be found here. Also, part one is a completely different race. Yes, your first thought was correct, she ran two marathons in the same weekend!?!?!!! Now, don't you feel like running that 3-mile loop is totally possible? I sure do :)
