Friday Five.
/Happy Friday!
I don’t know about everywhere else, but in South Carolina we’re used to getting all four seasons in full, and I’m feeling really gypped right now. Where the heck is my fall??
Side note - I have never typed the word gypped before and just learned how it’s spelled. It went from summer to a few weeks of fall, and now it’s pretty much winter. The lows this week are near freezing, and they’re calling for snow on Thursday. What. At least the leaves are still doing their beautiful thang!
So while every post has a bit of a life update, I want to take a few Fridays here and there to really delve into life things. And I like lists, so…
ONE | The day job has been insanely busy with planning and working so many events! We plan everything from festivals to comedy shows to holiday events. I am not the target market for about half of the things we put on (we serve so many demographic sectors), but I love our little youth theatre program! These kids bring so much energy and fearlessness to the production, something I think we sometimes lose when we grow up. These kids have so much talent — they are three shows in and I know they’re going to rock the next three this weekend.
TWO | Speaking of weekends, the one between this one and Thanksgiving will be the first weekend in a long while that Mr. Heid and I have free. We were really torn between spending it with friends or getting some things checked off our adulting to-do list. The to-do list won out — prepping pie crust and fillings for Thanksgiving, fixing up my old car (it’s been taking up way too much space for way too long), and taking care of our yard (seriously, the driveway is so covered in leaves that my car warned me that I might be about to run into something). To be fair, we chose the list mostly because after that weekend, we really aren’t free until Christmas. But then I get two solid weeks off to relax and enjoy!
THREE | In all of our free time (read: When we stay up really, really late), Mr. Heid and I have been watching…
Superstore - We never watched it when it first aired, but we’ve made it all the way to Season 4 on Hulu only to realize we’re now in the current season and watching in real(ish) time. How did we ever handle the waiting before? It’s so hard.
I’m finally catching up on The Bold Type. So much friend love and support in every episode, makes me miss everyday life with my besties. S & B, here’s looking at you.
We also did a hard binge of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in October. We were so hooked that we finished it in three days! It’s dark yet upbeat, and there had better be a Season 2. Check out how the original Sabrina cast reacted.
Don’t worry, we’ll sleep when we’re dead. Which is hopefully a very, very, very (I don’t think I can type very enough) long time from now.
FOUR | Between all of the above, Mr. Heid and I have been looking at venues for our wedding and I’m beginning to truly understand why people have backyard weddings. They’re less expensive, no one cares about insurance or security, and you can use confetti whenever and wherever you please. Despite some of them being outrageous, we’ve got one more to look at this afternoon and I think we’ll finally be ready to pick one. #stoked
FIVE | If you’re ever feeling down about this crazy world that we live in, here’s a nice reminder that people are mostly good.
If you can relate to any of this, drop me a line! Have a great weekend!
