Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!

I was still flexing time from Not So New Job this week, as part of my Lovey Leave, but I am still celebrating the fact that it is Friday because even a few hours at Not So New Job feels like a full work week; just ask my staff.

Anyhoodle, on to the favorites!

Number one will always be time spent with our Goose and her Mommy and Daddy.

She's three weeks old today and is already growing and changing so much. Queen B had to return to Texas earlier this week, and I know she's already counting down the days until she's back for the holidays.

Speaking of Queen B, while she was home, she finished the miniature library that she started for me last Christmas. It is the coolest thing ever, and I can't wait to display it on my bookshelf after the holidays (the shelves on my entertainment center will be a revolving display of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decor for the next several months, so all of my books and other decorative items have been temporarily reassigned to totes in the garage).

While she was home, Queen B and I also flexed our crafting muscles on a set of revamped Halloween pumpkins. We saw this trending on TikTok and decided to try our hand at it while watching killer documentaries.

TikTok also inspired me to create this photo of the Boomer dog and me. I wish I'd thought to take something similar when he was still with me.

And lastly, I'll be pulling up the garden this weekend. This was my final garden haul, and I'm proud of my perseverance this summer because those fucking squirrels nearly did me in. But! I managed to harvest five (FIVE!) cantaloups and, while I doubt I'll ever grow them again, I feel like a Joe Farmer over here.
