Something about having 75% of your closet off limits to your burgeoning body for a few months has made me want to shop and shop and shop. That plus the changing of temperatures plus the Christmas spirit and take my wallet from me now. Thrilling! But, seriously, despite how much I want to do so, I’ve barely shopped. We’re sort of in money-saving mode, which is not my favorite mode to be in during the Christmas holidays, but it is what it is. (I’ve used that phrase–it is what it is–on this blog at least four times in the last two weeks, I think. It works for almost everything, try it.) But a scarf is safe for any body type and relatively inexpensive so, maybe I can get myself this one? Right?
(Right. Tomorrow is my actual birthday. 30. I can do this.)
I really want to treat myself to the perfect black turtleneck (sweater? But not super thick sweater?) too. I’m stopping there.
What I am treating myself to, sans guilt, are a lot of clementines. They’re really delicious right now, and I was thrilled to stumble upon the box at the grocery store after thinking they were going to make their debut a little later, when the frost really hits. I dumped the entire box into a big stainless steel bowl, swished it around with white vinegar and water, and now I don’t have to wonder what nasties are on the outside before my fingers get a-peeling. Do you wash your fruit? I’m an avid fruit washer. I say it like it should be something spectacular. “I’m an avid piano player.” “Well me? An avid fruit washer.” Anyhow, Parker would eat them by the dozen if I let him but I’m pretty sure that would result in being housebound for days due to an excess of vitamin C and thus one to many number two’s. I didn’t have to go there.
I think I’m going to get my act together now and go get some embroidery hoops. I am seriously focused like a crazy person on that pin from yesterday. It’s like, it must get done before anything else gets done and cervix stay closed till they’re hung or else. A bit of hormones and a healthy sprinkling of Christmas spirit and it’s Pinterest come to life in this house. Especially one that involves a hot glue gun instead of a sewing machine.
Psst! Just noticed the link is saying that scarf is sold out now. Just this morning it was sold out, then back in stock, and now sold out again. So to that I say… check back in case you have your heart set on it too?
your birthday is tomorrow?! mine's sunday! i will be celebrating you while i celebrate myself with the utah girls. if you werent 3687786 weeks pregnant, i'd tell you to come out here and let's celebrate together!

I have a really bad addiction to clementines. As in I have eaten up to 40 clementines in one day. Did you know that much citrus can cause nose bleeds? Worth it.
It's your birthday, treat yourself to the scarf, though! (Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!)

This comment seriously made me laugh. Are you serious with 40? That's insane.
"Worth it." LOL.
whyyyyyy are you not my neighbor? HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABYGIRL!!!!! (I'm 56) that sounds so fresh and young! : ) Hugs~
I'm not a very thorough fruit washer. :/ I mean, I rinse them. But that's about as far as it goes. And it never occurred to me to wash the peel of something since I don't eat that part. But it totally makes sense that you're digging your nails into it! Eek!! Do you wash all your fruit with vinegar water? What about bananas? Thanks for your fruit washing wisdom! š
Haha, yes! Everyone else in the family is always like "I DONT EAT THE PEEL" and so I say, "do you wash your hands after touching the peel and before eating the fruit?!"
I'm a little bit of a nut.
I wash my apples just with a drop of soap and water. You've made it thus far without being a nutcase like me though so you're probably good š
I did the vinegar/water just in one foul swoop because I knew no one would be washing their clementines!
Must be nice to have those nesting hormones leading into the holiday season, helping you get 'er done. I have a 5-m-o son and a full-time job, so….. Yeah. Might be lucky if I get my tree up this year. Keep posting your holiday projects and maybe I'll get some inspiration through the exhaustion! š
Yes, I am a thorough fruit washer! I wash things that will be peeled with a little dish soap and water. For fruits and veggies where you eat the peel, I soak them in vinegar for about 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. I saw someone cut up a watermelon once without even rinsing it off and I was like, "Ew!" I tend to avoid cut up fruit prepared by others because you never know how it was cleaned beforehand!
Happy Birthday Eve, Bridget! Welcome to the thirties! I turned the big 3-0 this summer when my 7/23 birthday buddy turned 3. I didn't make it over to send him some love that day, though I honestly thought about him often š
Happy Birthday, Bridget! All the best to you on your Birthday. Iād like to take this opportunity to wish you the best of luck, health and joy because you deserve it. May all of your dreams come true š
You can justify the scarf by using this coupon code from A Cup of Jo blog:
