Totally forgot to post this yesterday with my othe

Totally forgot to post this yesterday with my other things. The level of distraction I have had recently is off the charts! I need this planner more than ever. 🤣 and of course, I did a different spread with no video. We’ll see what happens next week. 🤭
Also in the photo, you see the book I’m starting - I love me a good witchy book and this one by @auraleewallaceauthor called to me from the bookstore shelf. AND!! - a B&B is involved. I am here for it. Potentially later in the week I may do a live with me reading the back cover which seems to thoroughly entertain everyone. 🤣 I think it’s my animated oohs and ahhs.
Hope you’re all having a lovely beginning of the week and feel free to share with me what you’re currently reading. We all know I love adding to my TBR.
You look marvelous, dahhhhhlings! 😘

Fall = too chilly weather behavior for this little Clevelander. So it’s the perfect time for all my favorite hobbies to come out and play in an accelerated fashion. First picture share - Chinese take-out boxes seemed appropriate. 😃 This coloring book is gorg - beautiful artwork by @karensuestudios
Do you have specific hobbies you enjoy doing more in the fall? Asking for a friend. 😜

🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤣 you know when I start out with 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve been riding on the struggle bus and taking the scenic route. For the record, I did have my planner ready early this week. But due to technical difficulties aka user error, it took me over a day and some change before I was able to get the “plan with me” portion up on YouTube. So now here I am - Monday is “over” 😅 But that’s ok cuz I done did it and every experiment teaches me something new. Then read the coffee cube. 😆 k, heart you guys, hope your week is fabulous, go vote, thank the bus driver (aka Fortnite 🤣), and I’ll be swinging back around in a few days. I’m gonna do an audiobook giveaway…just ironing out some particulars.
If no one told you today…shame on them, but you look absolutely fabulous! 👀 🔥

Monday is half over with, but better late than never. 😆
This poor planner has been terribly neglected this year. Hoping to get back on track for the remaining 2 months. Potentially a new “plan with me” video for next week. Would love to hear how my fellow planner aficionados are faring as we wrap up the season. 😃

First haircut! 😃 Thank you to my homie @emilyan

First haircut! 😃 Thank you to my homie @emilyannwatson for turning my mop of curls into something suitable for public viewing. 🤭
Super excited to move past the chemo cap phase. My hair will be various shades of the rainbow in no time!
*********Alsooooo, PS, some of you might have wondered what the heck happened to Vivien. Did she ever make it home from Nashville or what?! The answer is yes!! But unfortunately became violently ill on the way home. Thankfully it was not covid. As soon as I got better, it was time to get back into immunotherapy treatments. Time has flown and I’m finally circling around to being social…on social.
Hope you’re all doing wonderful!! And if no one told you today, damnit, you look fantastic today! 😉 💋

I recorded this last night and wasn’t sure that I was going to post it. But, I decided - what the heck. I’ve already rambled on this long anyways. As always, I hope whoever needs some words of encouragement will find it. In the meantime, I am beginning my trek home. It’s been a great trip but I’m ready to get back on the road. See ya later, Nashville!

Make no mistake. These will be the best photos I ever take. 🤣 Also, even more amusing to me is that my Billy Idol shirt post-dates when this photo would have taken place. 🤭 Back to the Future anyone? 😉

I have more photos but they’re not fitting the Insta square properly. Waiting on my photo booth pics to download onto my phone. They’re the best part. 🤣
Such a fun day galavanting around! Didn’t end up exploring Broadway because it was way too hot. 🫠 so perhaps tomorrow or Saturday. 🤔

Thanks so much to all of you lovely people who came out!! It was such a great day (minus the coffee mishap 😆) and I was happy to see familiar faces and some new ones!! Special thanks to those who came from out of town and those who drove far distances! My arm chair detective friend all the way from Pittsburgh! And the lovely twins from Cincy!! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves! And another huge thank you to @wallsofbooksparma for being such a great place to host my gatherings. #gratitude
