These are just some flowers I bought more than a week ago so that I'd have something fresh and organic in the kid's room. Um, for the photo blog. Um, not because I think the kid needs to come home to fresh flowers. But, hey! Nice perk, eh? Anyway, they are still doing great and it was nice to have them inside today since the warmest it got was about 50 degrees!And I'm not gonna lie, I LOVED IT. EVERY STINKIN MINUTE. I have ingredients for soup for dinner. I am building a fire. You guys, my feet are ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL SIZE. I know that it's not supposed to be this chilly this early -- I do! I get it! But I'm still enjoying the hell out of it.So! How am I spending my days? Lazing around feeling worthless, to be honest. I'm working about 2-3 hours each day (not a ton left to do but answer emails and plan out some future blog content) and today I had some warm drinks (coffee... tea...) and read a book. Yup! I finished Gone, Girl -- and man did it surprise me. No spoilers, so I'll leave it at that. But I am curious to see how they do the movie... (Oh, and pro tip -- if you buy the book at Target right now it comes with a coupon for $5 off your movie ticket).For your internet shares today, some rad advice from Valerie Jarrett (senior White House adviser). And since the weather turned colder today, how about 12 one-pot recipes for fall from Epicurious? Yup. Tasty.
