Re: Ten Things Tuesday 11.19
2. The brief amount of sunshine we got after lunch.
3. Knitting!
4. Decaf coffee
5. Quiet afternoons at work
6. Chunky scarves and fur-lined boots
7. Living by the sea
8. My standing movie night with one of my girlfriends
9. Juicy pears
10. TB Ladies!
2. Disney +
4. My IRL friends
5. The amazing weather we’ve had
6. Stretchy pants
7. A fridge filled with food
8. My health (except this morning)
9. My body for enduring the abuse I’ve put it through
10. Grocery pickup
2. Knowing that Pinecone went peacefully and happily yesterday. Forever the adventurer and crawler on us. Now he just needs a marker where he lays under our pine tree.
3. Hearing how much you all loved Pinecone too ❤️🦔
4. DH on business trips because it usually means I get to use the Tesla while he's away 😁
5. Breakfast food
6. Music
7. You, the TB warriors!
8. The will and strength to go through IF and still feel a sense of joy in life.
9. Beanie hats, it's basically my brand when the weather gets cooler.
10. The leftover container of pickles from the catered Subway order over the weekend and DH taking pictures of me eating them. Just practicing being preggo 😆
