I was a workaholic in November, burning the candle at all ends! Knowing that would be the case, I proactively carved out time for a mini overnight to Fremont for me and Mr. Fleece. We often crave time to lounge, veg, and watch TV, and we made time for exactly that -- I joke that the "hidden gem" we found during our Seattle staycation was Netflix. I'm continuing the personal downtime through December, enjoying an extended hiatus from my executive assistant work. I go back after New Year's and am attempting to tackle relaxation and domestic projects in equal measure.
More Highlights:
- Family excursions to the zoo and Discovery Park
- Thanksgiving dinner with friends
- Misfit's Thanksgiving with Mr. Fleece's coworkers
- Brunch and Christmas Tree farm with friends
- Hitting a good stride with sibling playtime
- Breaking out the children's snowsuits
As a Texan and former drill team dancer, this Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders documentary show hit home. I loved learning about the enterprise, seeing the tryout process, and following the personal stories of the featured women. The culture, the dedication, the rigor, the makeup -- it made for great TV, but in my opinion, it's the director, Kelli Finglass who steals the show with her leadership and vision.
Eating & Drinking | Fremont + Wallingford Eateries
During our staycation we got takeout from Musashi's -- sushi rolls that were inexpensive, delicious, and huge! We hung out at Stoneway Cafe for a while and also grabbed lunch at Local Tide, per my friend's recommendation to try their smash burger. Backyard Bagel and Cracklemi are still on my bucket list!
Reading | Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten
This was an absolute treat to listen to! The epitome of feel-good storytelling.
Listening | The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling
I found this podcast series fascinating, thought provoking, nuanced, and helpful in understanding/revisiting aspects of culture over the past 25+ years. It covers Harry Potter mania, Rowling's personal life, social media, transgender rights, and more. Definitely recommend!
