I’m not really minding you today, Monday! We have a teacher work day from 7:30-2:30 and then we are off Tuesday for election day. I have a packed day, but it’s mostly good stuff. Tonight I’m taking a Thanksgiving big batch cocktail class! I can’t wait!
Friday was my birthday and my personal day!
So, I took advantage of the red cup deal on Friday. You got this cup for free with a holiday beverage so I got a creme brulee latte. Then, you take this cup back for 50cents off drinks after 2 until January, I think. 
I know this is kinda gross, but I love biscuits and gravy a handful of times a year and McDonald’s are really good in my opinion. I watched tv and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast. 
I put out a few Thanksgiving decorations.
I got my hair cut and colored for the first time since April. 
This was a last minute deal, but it was so fun! My two college besties who both live in my city were able to meet me for lunch. Afterwards I did a little shopping, including my 50% Kendra Scott store birthday treat. You all, what a deal. You can pick one item in your birth month and there’s even a grace period of 3 days into the next month. I love Kendra even more now. I will show you what I picked Wednesday.
Saturday was dinner and a comedy improv show. I had an old fashioned. 
I enjoyed some patio reading both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday was our family photo shoot. We got lucky and had sun before it got cloudy. 
I got out my favorite tea. 
I started this book and couldn’t put it down. Go get it now!
So, those are the highlights!
Have a great Monday!

You had a great birthday day – I love how you spent it, doing all the fun things. And lucky you – this week is like a breeze! Very cool that you get election day off!
I think I need a red cup from Starbucks!

Yes I did until the afternoon – it’s a pretty funny anecdote so I may share but I may not.
Look for my post tomorrow and you are part of my inspiration for my Friday!

Your hair looks fabulous! I have an appointment this week and am kind of glad to read that I’m the only one who totally neglects her hair. 🙂 I don’t remember my last appointment but I really am looking forward to getting my split ends removed and my curls boosted (with another perm).

Thank you! It feels so good to lose some dead weight. If I can’t lose it from hips I can from my head! Share your photo!
