Happy Friday! This is Houston’s weekend forecast, and I might just go ahead and get myself my first Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte of the season:
Speaking of pumpkin spice, I still love my Pumpkin Spice Cake Nespresso pods. They are delicious with my Pumpkin Oat Milk creamer – or with some regular oat milk that I froth in my aeroccino.
Speaking of Starbucks, I’m intrigued by this new fall flavor that they released this year: the apple crisp macchiato. It looks like it’s got a lot of sugar in it, and I’m not the biggest fan of sweet drinks, but I might give it a try.
Friday Things
This week has been a good one. Monday and Tuesday dragged on forever. Those days were packed with meetings, and I don’t love those days because I feel like I can’t get other stuff done. But Wednesday and Thursday flew by.
A tennis lesson and a cold front
I had a tennis lesson Wednesday night, which was excellent timing. Houston’s “cold front” arrived just in time for Fall. It lowered the humidity and we had some pretty perfect weather days.
I haven’t talked about my succulent garden because there are way more successful succulents gardens out in the world. Succulents were given out as wedding favors at our wedding, and I’ve had a few that have lasted these five years. I found them a nice spot in our backyard, and they have really been thriving this year. This one in the photo above was a tiny little thing, and it’s really grown this year.
My new Birdies came in the mail this week! I’ve been trying to hunt down this color in my size for a couple of months, and I finally found a pair. They arrived this week, and they are so comfortable. I saw these slippers on their website, and I honestly might have to try a pair!
I’ve got Book Club coming up, and the book for the month of October is The Silent Patient. I haven’t started it yet, but I’ve got it queued up in my Kindle. Maybe I’ll start it this weekend?
WFH Lunches
Because I was in meetings for the majority of my mornings through mid-afternoons this week, my husband was on lunch duty. One of the perks of working from home. He prepped my drink (and you know we love a sparkling water – that one’s a Watermelon and Mint Big Swig) in my favorite Baylor cup with a stainless steel straw. Much appreciated!!!
What are your weekend plans? We are doing dinner tonight with Alice, trying a new restaurant on Saturday night with some friends and having some friends over for pool time on Sunday after church. I also need to figure out our guest bedroom situations. We have the furniture, but they are in desperate need of some organization, and I would really like to get through at least one this weekend.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
