Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a good week! Mine is going alright so far, just a couple busy days yesterday and today getting me up early and home late! Haha which I guess is weird for the unemployed but pretty normal for most of you! Anyway, let’s get on to this week’s Thursday Thoughts!
1. It’s been so rainy lately that I haven’t felt like I’ve really been able to appreciate Fall. We got a short reprieve from the weather on Monday and I ended up walking a ways. It was a great reminder to just look up (away from my phone…) and enjoy the views!
2. My mother told me I needed to buy some throw pillows for my couch. Do you think these that I found at Target are what she was thinking?
3. Lindsay and I signed up for the Rudolph Ramble 8K in December! I am mostly excited because it’s in Lincoln Park, which means it’s really close for me! I’ve also never run an 8K (neither has Linds), so we’re looking forward to an automatic PR!
4. I had to snip this on my computer screen because I found it really amusing. It asks me to “Please Select a Language” except that it lists countries and not languages… Haha apparently United States is a language!
5. Has anyone heard of the Documentary “Blackfish?” I saw a commercial for it while I was in the gym and asked my brother to DVR it for me. I watched a little over half of it on Tuesday (with Molly) and I can’t wait to watch the rest. Definitely not a happy go lucky whale documentary, but I thought it was fascinating and something people need to know about. Poor whales, they are just not meant to be kept in tanks and separated from their families.
I think it scared Molly a bit (or she just doesn’t know what personal space is) because she sat on me the whole time…
6. When I got home last night I had a memo from my building about Christmas trees. I guess being in a much larger building, there are people who bring in real trees for the holidays. Haha I’d never considered it, mostly because I always had finals before Christmas and then I went home! I still don’t think I’d get a tree this year though, but maybe some other decorations?
7. Last week, for my birthday, I showed you all a few old photos that I found. Here’s another! Yep, that’s me, pulling the (blue???) toilet paper down. And yes, I am completely bald. When I say my hair grows slowly, it’s no joke! I had no hair until well into my second year of life and even as I got older it was always super short!
I have two older cousins and they always had the longest hair.
It was my dream in life to have long hair… only took about 18 years to get there. HA now that I look at this picture I think Allie is thinking: geez, her hair is so short. poor thing.
Do you decorate for the holidays wherever you live?
What did your hair look like as a kid?
Do leaves change colors for Fall where you live?
