november : currently.

Currently

loving this e&p portrait painted by my Grandpa.

running a mile everyday and once again, appreciating the challenge.

enjoying seeing so many other people taking part in the #mileaday hashtag.

cutting oodles of green felt leaves for a Christmas wreath.

planning on getting our tree decorated today!

ordering photos for a project.

addressing envelopes for Christmas cards.

un-subscribing from all the store email blasts.

celebrating my 2500 blog post (this one!) & seven years of blogging next month.

clearing the fridge of Thanksgiving leftovers.

driving a new car (we love it – totally worth the year of research!)

buying on impulse an ampersand sweater.

trying to resist this hello sweatshirt.

listening to classical music on Pandora.

sewing the last of my four Christmas quilts.

appreciating hot coffee and good mail days.

looking forward…always looking forward.

    I think yes for the hello sweatshirt… but only if you buy a hi onesie and tuck them both away for “if”.

    I agree with Val- you are Superwoman! Way to go on the posts and blogging anniversary! That painting is such a treasure. What size is it? Was it a surprise? I’d love to know the sweet story behind it. 🙂 Can’t wait to see your holiday decorations too!

    You are so inspiring with all of your projects! Thanks for sharing! I am finishing an acrylic painting of my parents seaside view and knitting a striped cowl scarf, because of your inspiration!

    thanks! I want to say it is about 11×17. My dad sent him a photo. I think he wants to paint all the grandkids and this is ours. 🙂

    I have been blogging for about 8-years now and I don’t even have half that many posts.

    I love your choice of car! I have been drooling over the Acura MDX for quite some time now. I currently have a Scion TC which is a two door car…since we want to have kids we may need to upgrade to an SUV although I’m dreading it for gas prices. Anyway…I will have to go look into that RDX. I wonder if its similar to MDX.
    Great post as usual. 🙂

    We considered the mdx, but went rdx because it was smaller (but still larger than our previous car) and about $8k cheaper. 🙂 we LOVE it!

    At the bottom of every store email there is a link that says unsubscribe or something along those lines. I have been clicking that every time I get an e-blast these past few days.
