Weekending Vol. 48

August 5, 2016

rp_IMG_3953.jpg

I have to admit, there is one thing I do that drives T nuts. (Yes, only one thing 😉 ) When I’m talking to someone who is doing something for me, like a water or a hostess or the guy who came to fix our brand new fence, I will end my request with “if that’s okay.”

I know it’s okay, because it’s their job, but who knows how long I’ve done this, because I don’t even notice it until T points it out! “You’re doing it again,” he’ll say, and I won’t even have noticed. I blame my years of Catholic school, where most of the time it wasn’t okay, no matter what “it” was. Have you ever had a hard time breaking yourself of a habit? P.S. Here are 7 things you need to stop saying at the office.

  • 7 easy hairstyles for busy mornings
  • Is your pet as happy as you think?
  • Why mosquitoes bite some people more than others aka my life story
  • In today’s edition of “what the what,” Channing Tatum is going to be a merman in a remake of Splash.
  • I bought these Terra chips on a whim, and I can’t stop eating them. They’re seriously so good.
  • What it’s like living in The Bachelor mansion when it comes to beauty supplies
  • This is one of the cutest little Cape houses ever! We’re heading back to the Cape soon, so I definitely have beachy blues on the brain!

I’m going to start including this little section (if you guys like it!). Let me know what you think!

Currently:

  • reading Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
  • watching Season 2 of The Leftovers (has anyone else seen it? Please tell me it gets less weird!)
  • exploring where to go on our next vacation! We are thinking the Bahamas or Bermuda – or Hawaii. We’re celebrating our 2 year anniversary at the end of the month! Have you been to any of those places? I really want to get to Saint Lucia, but, you know, Zika…

    Totally relate on the mosquito front…I could be at a bonfire of 50 people and if I’m there, I am the only one who will walk away with bug bites! I’m like a beacon for them! I’ve been working on not saying “just” as often – especially at work!
