Saturday IG Recap [2]

 

Linking up with Sara for this weekends edition of Saturday IG Recap - enjoy :)

                 

                                                           Pumpkin patch fun!

When I checked the 14 day outlook on weather, this appeared!! Nooooo!!

Made myself comfortable before the movie started.

I've been eating pumpkin cheesecake since Monday - I need to stop, but I can't!

Five on Friday - v.8

Sorry for yet another late edition of FOF. I have had a very busy and very fun day! I am making the time, which counts for something right? As usual, I am linking up with A Liz Adventures for this edition.

O N E // Thanksgiving - This past Monday we celebrated our Thanksgiving. We had a very nice family dinner and spent some quality time with everyone. We usually have the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and all the other fixins'. It was absolutely delicious and of course, there were lots of left overs. I had a lot to be thankful for this year, as I do every year. It was nice being able to spend this holiday with my family.

T W O // Pumpkin Patch - Today we were able to make it over to the pumpkin patch. It used to be a family tradition and then once my brother and I grew up, we sort of stopped going. Just up until recently we made it our tradition again. We pick out our pumpkins, which usually takes a while since we can never make up our mind on just one. We then enjoy a nice lunch and then hit the activities that they have. Once we got home, we ended up carving our pumpkins which usually ends up being a competition between my brother and I.
                

T H R E E // I ended up changing my end date at work. I was originally going to finish November 3rd, however, I thought I should just finish up the month and then spend the extra time with family. On Thursday night I had to work and my brother and dad were both off and at home watching the hockey game. It was a perfect night as well because it was rainy and cold. While I was getting ready for work, it hit me that I won't be able to enjoy these nights soon so I should get them in while I can. After I realized that, I decided I needed to change my end date. However, I am sitting here writing this and I don't even feel like going into work these next few shifts. I think I have just "checked out".

F O U R // Countdown is now at 27 days!!

F I V E // AMC Fear Fest -- Is there anything better this time of year??


Have a great weekend ya'll :)

Saturday IG Recap [1]

As you can probably tell, I am into finding new and exciting things to participate in through my blog. I came across one today that I thought was really cool. It's called Saturday Intsagram Recap and I found it through Sara's blog. All it is, your week through "Instagram" pictures. I don't know how much I am going to be able to keep up with this things once I leave, but for now here is my first edition.

I won't write about this one because it has it's own separate post!

I found this movie, This Means War, on Netflix and the fact that it had Tom Hardy, just made it that much more irrisistabel. He is the definition of perfection!

 Dinner time!

 A little going away gift from a very good friend. She has been so supportive and understanding of my decision and my goals.

Five on Friday - v.7

Sorry this post is late, was feeling under the weather today and then I had to work this evening. Unfortunately my evening turned out to be crap. It amazes me the attitude that some people can have towards others that they have known for a very long time. Oh well, on a brighter note, here is my better late than never edition, linking up with A Liz Adventures as usual.

O N E // Is there an online shopping anonymous group? It seems like I have been doing a lot of online shopping lately. It also doesn't help reading some of these blogs that point out things that are on sale - which happened today! I ended up ordering a sweater from Free People and a shirt from Aritzia. I absolutely love both of the brands, however, I find them both to be a little bit over priced for what they actual sell. However, I saw these pieces and fell in love AND I can them with me to the ship. 

Ordered this from Free People - was 152, on sale for 41 - how could I not?

Ordered this from Aritzia

T W O // Pumpkin pie donut from Dunkin Donuts. I told my dad that the next time he went grocery shopping in the US, to pick up some pumpkin coffee. He did and then brought home some donuts as well. I have a separate post about it, but it's definitely FOF worthy!

T H R E E // My sleeping pattern has been so off and I am really feeling it today. I'm tired, go to bed, sleep for about three hours and then I'm wide awake. I don't know if it's because I have a lot on my mind or something else but right now I can barely keep my eyes open writing this post.

F O U R // I watched "This Means War" the other night on Netflix. It has Tom Hardy, Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon. Tom Hardy is the definition of perfection - right? It was such a good movie and there was a quote from the movie that is still stuck in my head ... "Don't choose the better guy, choose the guy who makes you the better girl".

F I V E // 

Enjoy your weekend!

So What Wednesday

This is a new "thing" for me since I found I wasn't blogging much. I also enjoy reading other blogger's SWW so I thought, why not? I am linking up with Shannon for SWW, enjoy :)

SO WHAT if .... 

▹ I have had more than my usual amount of pumpkin flavoured coffee. It's not like it's around all year long, right?

▹ I have been catching up on sleep and acting "lazy" since Monday. I had a very busy and long weekend and sometimes it's nice not to have to put make up on or put "normal" clothes on. 

▹ I am nervous about my new adventure. If I wasn't nervous and scared I would be lying. This is something completely new to me and it's the unknown ... 

▹ I think people have been abnormally uptight lately. Things happen and things come up which sometimes mean that plans change. Get over it and just remember that karma is a bitch.

▹ I am not sorry for saying what I just said above.

▹ I'm not doing what is expected of me. Everyone "expects" me to finish school and then get a job etc ... what is "expected" of someone my age. Again, things come up which sometimes means that you have to go a different route and take a different path to get to your end goal. For far too long I have been doing things because they were "expected" and I haven't put myself first. This time, I am and this decision is the best decision for me and will help me achieve my end goal faster and without being a burden to anyone.

▹ I changed the color of my hair and cut it - again, change is a good thing!!

Enjoy your hump day! :)
