Christmas Movie Marathon
Even though I haven’t lived in the USA since 2006 I still mark the start of the Christmas season by American Thanksgiving. I do not start listening to Christmas music, I do not watch holiday movies, I often don’t even start my Christmas shopping before American Thanksgiving. But American Thanksgiving was this past Thursday and…

Saturday Scroll
I feel like this week’s round up is going to be short, everything is very Black Friday and Cyber Monday focused at the moment and I’m not shopping this week so it doesn’t resonate with me much. Honestly, I probably would be shopping if I hadn’t spent so much money on my car this month,…

Winter Activities: Hosting a Great Board Games Night
I have been meaning to host a board games night for a couple weeks now, but I needed to push it away from Taylor Swift’s release of Red (Taylor’s Version) because I would not be emotionally stable enough to host an event. I love hosting events, my mom is really good at hosting and I…

Gift Guide for Difficult Dads
I don’t know about your dad, but I do know that I find all the dad gift guides I always see never having anything my dad would actually want on them. My dad does not barbecue, is not really into whisky/whiskey or any other drink, he’s not techie, he is incredibly fussy about his clothes,…

Rental Apartment Essentials
I have now been living in rentals for 9 years (I’m not counting living in a dorm room, there are even more rules there, but you are doing the bare minimum to personalize that, at least if you don’t live in the south, there they do crazy things to dorm rooms). So I think I…

Saturday Scroll: 11/13/21
Writing that date made me have one of those “I can’t believe it’s November!?!” moments! This is going up later in the day because my wifi was out all morning! This weekend also feels really off, I have no plans, which used to feel so normal. I’m not pet-sitting, and I don’t have any cleaning…

Friday Favorites: 11/12/2021
This has been an insanely busy, but also a really, really good week. The week started with a memo that Remembrance Day would be a stat holiday (a paid holiday), I went into the office twice, had a work day trip, and then we had a really pretty snowstorm on the stat holiday so there…

Friday Favorites: TIBAL, The Cut, Winter House, and Leggings

November Spending Plan: When Expected Expenses are More Expensive than Expected
In an effort to hold myself even more accountable with my personal finances I want to start logging them on here, both spending plans or a monthly budget at the beginning of the month and a check-in at the end of the month. Last month was one of the first net positive months I have…

Winter Activities: Board Games Night
I am starting to plan a board games night for my new friends next week, but my board game stash is a bit thin. Pre-pandemic I was trying to thrift them, but then the pandemic happened and all the thrift stores closed and I wasn’t having anyone over to play board games with so it…
