This last week was a whirlwind. It was one of those weeks where I only had enough energy to focus on the very next day only.
On Wednesday T and I had dinner with friends at Elwood’s Shack and then we came home and played a couple games. Now my only goal when we play games is that T doesn’t win. I don’t care if I win, but I definitely don’t want T to have any bragging rights. Well, he didn’t win the first game, but I was so disappointed that somehow he won the second. Ugh ugh ugh. Next time I’ll watch him a little closer.
On Thursday. T and I took my brother to see the new Star Wars movie with us. It was such a fun experience and I’m glad that my brother is here now so we can do things like this. We got there early and played games of hangman with my handy dandy mini notebook I bring with me. I think he had fun and the movie itself was awesome. T and I will definitely be going back to see it again, especially now that we finally have our MoviePass cards and they’ve been activated.
I am in love with essential oils—have I told you all this already? In. Love. One of the shops I discovered via an Instagrammer I follow is Little Shop of Oils. I decided to buy her Mermaid Hair spray, headache oil, anxiety oil, and zodiac oil. They’re part of my stocking stuffers now, so I don’t get to enjoy them just yet, but I am super excited about them!
This weekend has been nice, but quick. I didn’t have a chance to sleep in on Saturday, but even that was okay. We had lots of errands to run and our first stop was Kohl’s. That was quick enough, but unfortunately when we came out T’s battery was completely dead. Luckily he had his portable battery and after a few attempts the car finally started and we headed to Autozone. We met some nice people, got his battery changed, and headed on our way. From Kohl’s to Autozone then Steinmart and TJ Maxx and we finished the trip with a pizza from The Fresh Market.
Today we woke up early and went to church. I’m excited about the candlelight service next Saturday. It’s one of my favorite services ever. After church we went to Walmart for groceries and Target for some final Christmas shopping. Phew. It’s been fun buying gifts, but I wish I had planned better this year. Normally I’m buying gifts throughout the year to save myself time, but this year I’ve just been so tired I couldn’t manage that.
Tomorrow is Monday—at least Christmas is not far behind. I’m looking forward to the quality time with family and T.
