Stuff & Things 12/18

++ Today is the sweet husband’s birthday!!!  He’s a weeeeee bit hesitant for this one since it rings in his last year in his 20s, but it’s definitely a reason to celebrate!  Let’s show him all kinds of love today, shall we? 🙂

++ We sold the Camry on Friday.  I’ve had that car since I’ve been driving, and every time we’ve tried to sell it in the past I’ve had a last minute panic attack and decide to keep it.  Let’s just say, I couldn’t watch the girl drive it out of our driveway.  Onwards and upwards, right?

++ I’ve been trying to finish reading a book for about a month now.  I’ve been reading Big Little Lies, and everyone has been raving about it.  It’s been good, don’t get me wrong, but I enjoyed The Husband’s Secret more. Or maybe the “bam wow” moment will come at the very end?  I’m about 70% through it and it’s very put-downable for me.  It could also just be because I’ve got a lot of distractions going on in my life right now so I’m not as committed to the book as I would usually be.  Take this at face value.  It’s probably an amazing book and I’m just missing it.

++ We went to an Ugly Sweater party on Saturday night.  We busted out the old sweaters I made for J’s bday party a couple years ago!  It was a great party with great friends!

++ I’ve been sick the last couple days.  I spent the entire day Wednesday on the couch hoping to kick whatever it is.  It’s feeling very flu-ish though so…there’s that.  I swear.  I’m always sick.  In fact, you can thank Kristin that this post even happened.  She emailed me the html for the link up and it dawned on me what day it was.  I’d completely forgotten.  I’m blaming all the dayquil.  In fact, did anything in this post even make sense?  I can’t tell anymore.  ::downs more dayquil::

Alright friends!  It’s your turn!

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  1. So sorry you've been sick. Such a busy time of year to be pulled down my meds and couch-laying 🙁 Hopefully you'll get better soon. So are you getting a new car since you sold the Camry. We have a 96 Camry as our third car… long story… and I would be so happy to get rid of that thing! Your Christmas sweaters are great. I'm wearing mine to work today 😮

    Lady you need to cut it out with this sickness…feel better!!! Praying for you!!!

    And I know how you feel about selling your car. When I moved here, I had to sell my beloved Pontiac Grand Am (black, 2 door, V6…ooh baby) because it was only 2WD and I really needed something 4WD for the winters here. And the problem with this small town…I see it driving ALL THE TIME. And every time I just want to snatch it back. I miss it.

  18. I hope you're feeling at least a little better today. No one wants the flu for Christmas! And Happy Birthday to J! Scott just turned 29 too. We're so old…(comparatively to how yesterday seemed like 23 or 24).

    I LOVED Big Little Lies. I did listen to it on Audible, but I truly loved it. What part are you at/what do you predict? I kind of started to suspect the ending, but not really, so I think that tells a lot for her storytelling ability. The Husband's Secret is on my list for January.
