weekend-ing

My friend came up from Pittsburgh to attend my dads Halloween party. & I went back to the estate sale and scored more for 50% off.  Pampered chef pizza stone $5 is the most I spent.
I need more weekends like this.

a little fall

Work has been a bit more relaxed. Which is nice, I have more time to spend in my new apt & neighborhood. I am falling in love with the houses and community. There is always an estate sale! Which, with having a new place... I am finding great deals on stuff I need/want ( mostly kitchen items) today I spent under $5 and carried home a bunch. 

I took a stroll down a new street which lead to such findings.

excited for the weekend to come. 

my dads annual Halloween party

(my friend Bre is coming from Pittsburgh)

2 months till Christmas. WHOA! 

Short hair. Dont care.

I chopped my locks.
I'm loving it.

home. I am home.

The last two years are finally coming to a close. It has been tiring weeding out the people, places, things and habits that are destructive and do not enhance the quality of my life. My goal in life is to have the smiles out weigh the frowns. It is a day to day process and slowly the balance is shifting.

Huge news on my end: I finally have my own place. 

I live just a few blocks from the Toledo Art Museum ( one of my happy places on earth).  My neighbors are friendly. Its a big art...hippie...dog walking... bike riding...community. AND im only a mile away from work. 

It is, The Historic Old West End. I feel like I am going to be a lifer. 

Carissa is coming to my house every Sunday ( and back to hers on Sunday nights for the walking dead!)

Last week we went to a OWE coffee shop called Black Kite and had brunch. I will let the pics speak for themselves.  It was so delish. 

I feel more than blessed to be ale to be sitting on my couch...in my living room... in my apartment writing this. Much to  log and blog about coming up & lets not forget... I can finally get some stuff published!.
