Even as a Pumpkin Spice Latte lovah let me agree with literally everyone when I lament how on earth is it already October?!
However, I could not be more grateful this week that my house finally feels like it is for real (yeah yeah it hasn’t even been a month Ihavehighexpectationsweknowthis). A bunch of house stuff came together this week: the kitchen cooking TV is mounted thanks to a, ahem, stud (finder), the couch arrived!!! (nali has already scratched the leather, thanks dawg), the absolutely gorgeous granite—honestly it couldn’t BE a sexier piece of stone—is installed!!!, I hung a mirror and art and moved the modem and it’s finally a house that feels like home.
Like I don’t have to apologize and say “this or that is coming”. It is here. Of course, things are still coming, an entire den needs furnishing and door conversion and linens, oh the towel saga for another day, and art for the main rooms and blah blah but the most of it is here. And the lawn is mowed (lawn vacuumed with my electric mower that I am getting down to a science), and edged. Hooray!
Other things I’m grateful for this week? Hyde Park Gym, just the best badass training gym, personalized ringtones, a weekend with nothing on the agenda but a fun Friday night of vb and childhood bestie on the parents’ porch laughing about so many things (last weekend) and trying Komé Sushi (delish) and the upcoming weekend with everything on the agenda with the singles bunk headed to town with a dash of dark ‘n stormy—I cannot wait to have a house full of guests and show off the city I’m just barely rediscovering.
