This post was floating around the interwebs last week, so I thought I'd close out this week by playing along!
feeling relieved that my crazy stretch of travel is over.
reading "Yes Chef" by Marcus Samuelsson. I developed a crush on him when he was on Top Chef Masters. The book is super fascinating and I'd recommend it if you like shows like Top Chef.
longing for a relaxing vacation.
laughing at this shirt I bought in Des Moines that says: "Des Moines: French for The Moines." I am sure it's not that funny to most people but I think it's hilarious!
crying at most episodes of Parenthood this season. Cancer sucks.
looking forward to turning a work trip into a fun trip next month - I'll be spending the weekend in Austin with a best friend from college!
journaling never. Unless blogging counts. I do write down thoughts in the notes ap of my iPhone on plane rides, though.
celebrating a successful marathon!
eating apples, especially my favorite - honeycrisp!
running zero miles this week (I think). My legs need a break. I will get back into it next week (at a lower mileage level).
hoping I can catch up on sleep this weekend. I feel really exhausted this week!
anticipating the fun weekend that is ahead of me!
planning a trip to California at the end of November for work, which I will parlay into a fun trip!
drinking pumpkin spice lattes like they are going out of style. And loving every sip!
missing friends and family.
listening to artists whose albums I own, but sort of forgot about - like James Blunt.
making beef stew and butternut squash risotto this weekend. It's lovely to not be traveling!
Have a fabulous weekend, everyone! Mine will be pretty low key. I have a going away happy hour for a co-worker tonight and a Halloween party tomorrow night. I have not been to a Halloween party in 10 years - not kidding... It's my first post-collegiate Halloween party. I am really looking forward to it as I never go to parties anymore!

That's so funny because every year I juggle multiple Halloween parties. I think it comes from being friends with teachers who love the dress up thing! This year I somehow am avoiding ALL halloween parties and could not be more psyched about it haha. What are you dressing up as?
I can't remember the last time I went to a Halloween party - have fun at yours! :)
Austin!? I'm so jealous! And have fun at your Halloween party. I have zero Halloween plans :)
Does this mean you're dressing up in costume for the Halloween party? If so, I expect photos, ahem! Also, that shirt is hilarious ... for the shirt itself and also I'd never expect to see something like that for sale in Iowa!
You have a busy traveling schedule again, but sounds like some fun mixed in so that will make it more enjoyable! Your weekend sounds like fun and the stew & risotto sounds so delicious! Can't wait to see you next weekend!
Bwahaha! I love that shirt!!!!!!
What are you dressing up as??? Hope you have fun and I want a picture!
I hear you in missing family! And wondering when I will ever see them again.
Yes, I, too, want to know what you're dressing up as! I can't remember the last time I went to a Halloween party which I'm perfectly okay with since I'm not a huge fan of the holiday anyway.
Have a great (relaxing! travel-free!) weekend.
It would be a fun blog to perhaps share some of the thoughts that are notes in your iPhone, assuming you want to share!
The last time I went to a Halloween party was probably... four years ago? With my friend Tricia (I think you met her at the wedding). That's where I got my go-go dress and I've kept it ever since as it was a small fortune. I even have the pink boots + wig to go with it. We had so much fun that year! Hope you enjoy the party this weekend!
(And yes, the shirt you bought made me laugh!)
I'm hoping I can find a decent halloween party this year, but we'll likely just take the kids out and that will be it. Have a great weekend!
Parenthood gets me every time!!! I cry. Cancer does suck. :(
Yes, yes, yes, so happy you're coming to California!! ;) I also hope you get some rest this weekend! You deserve it!
I have yet to have my first pumpkin spice latte of the season ;)
Oh you're going to a Halloween party, how lovely ;)
Did I ever tell you that Marcu Samuelsson once said hi to me on the subway... swoon!!
have fun this weekend! we are hoping to get in a pumpkin patch visit,go to lunch at our favorite bar in my husband's hometown, hosting a 30th bday party tomorrow night and dying/recuperating on Sunday!
This week's episode of Parenthood had me in a heaping mess of tears. SUCH a tough season.
I like this meme. I think I need to do this one on my blog one of these days ...
Also, I too am longing for a relaxing vacation.
I wanted to get some honeycrisps but they are still almost 3 dollars a pound! What is going on!? I can't wait until your "parlay" to CA!!
I am currently loving the World Series, annoyed because I drove 3 hours for a race this weekend and my they did not have my info, so I did not race, and looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow (and maybe some baking!)
I think your blogging definitely counts as journalling!
When can you take a holiday? At least you get a little weekend one in your trip!
You must share your butternut squash risotto recipe! We would always buy the Trader Joes version and it's Elles favorite. Now, with no TJ's I missing it like crazy. Though, we are taking a road trip to San Antonio next weekend and packing our coolers so we can hit up the opening of their TJ's!
So excited for your visit!
I have also been drinking PSL's like they're going out of style. Hmmm! Pretty sure the two Starbucks gift cards I got for my birthday were completely used up on PSL!
