Tuesday Things.
1. I have yet to taste a bite of traditional pumpkin pie this year but this bourbon version has my mouth seriously watering. I’ve never made one from scratch but perhaps I should start.
2. Have you started listening to Christmas music yet? I still haven’t been listening to it full blown, most likely because I’m in denial that I will have a child by Christmas. So, like, not listening to music will make the time go slower right? Right.
3. Speaking of that, everything I do I’m all “OMG the next time I see you/do this/am here I will have a baby.” I mean, everything. It’s not annoying at all.
4. If you love yourself, you will pop your popcorn in bacon fat.
5. I’m SURE you’ve seen it by now… but um, the Pitch Perfect 2 trailer? I don’t know if there has ever been a movie I’ve watched more than the first version. Rebel Wilson… I die.
6. Target snuck into my head again and designed everything I want in holiday decor.
7. 15 things you should make time for everyday. YES.
8. SO MUCH GOOD TV THIS WEEK! Last week’s SOA… omg. The acting. All of it. I think I’ve rewatched the Juice, Jax and Nero scenes ten thousand times by now. It was just so good. I am way too emotionally involved. I also thought Homeland was AMAZING this past Sunday. Is it really coming back to what it used to be? And and and! The Affair! GAH. I can’t believe what happened in this episode happened. Holy crap Pacey. I’m glad we got so much of him and he was SO GOOD. What else? I also liked Nashville and totally knew they were going to take Luke in that direction. KNEW IT! And I loved the Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder episodes.
9. Dying over the miraculous benefits of coconut oil.
10. Remember how I’ve whined the entire time I’ve had this blog about how we really wanted a king bed? And then we got one? And then I ended up 532 months pregnant and the bed is so high and tall that I actually need a running start to throw my 5 foot tall body up on it? What I really need is some sort of bed steps. I pretty much fall out of it every night. It’s like a giant slide. I just sliiiiiiide down the bed to get out.
11. Pretty sure I’m more excited for Thanksgiving LEFTOVERS than actual Thanksgiving.

It’s taking me forever to listen to christmas music this year … seriously, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. There was some, at our santa clause parade and … that was it.
Pitch Perfect 2 … YES! … Shhhoorrrttyyy geeettt dooooowwwwnnn hahahaha
I went target crazy last weekend… but my home will look delightfully holiday-esque … once I’m ready to actually get into holiday mode .. hopefully before december 24th :|
THANK YOU for the comment about the leftovers. I’ve spoken to multiple people who think I’m a freak for liking Thanksgiving leftovers. Who doesn’t love the monster sandwich you make for lunch the next day?
Bacon fat for the win!! And there’s nothing wrong with having a cute little stool to get in and out of bed – I bet Target could help you out with that… = )
Jessica- you’re “5 ft tall body”… I love you.. I’m 4’11” good things come in small packages!!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Maybe you should get those pet steps for your bed. ;)
thanksgiving leftover are always better than thanksgiving dinner! also, i lol’ed at you sliiiiiiiiding down the bed. we did that for awhile and then got a super short box spring.
I just experienced Hobby Lobby for the first time and it’s kind of like I walked into pinterest. Everything I ever wanted to make (but not really cause i’m not super skilled/crafty) was there. I think Target is also following that theme…everything I want in my head is being mass produced and available for purchase. I love it. And turkey leftovers are the shit.
That coconut oil article — too funny.
#2 – Haha, me too. There, I admitted it.
I needed a step stool to get into my king sized bed by the end of my pregnancy. Then after having my c-section couldn’t sleep on it for 2 weeks until my incision healed enough that I could prop myself up enough to get out of bed. :( But other than that having a king has been the best!
That is exactly what I was going to say so get that step stool before you have a baby just in case you need a c-section!
I’m not knocked up, but just recently bought a queen sized bed. Oh em gee! Of course I bought the higher profile bed. I feel like it’s similar to climbing on a horse – I throw one leg onto the bed, grip onto the comforter and lift the rest of my body up. To get down, I grip a hand against the wall and slide down. I’m getting used to it though – the first few days I brought my little step stool up to climb in and out (the same stool I use to pull clothes out of my top loading washer because nope, can’t reach in there either!) Ahh, the life of being 5’0 and under! ;)
OMG the Affair spoiler! No fair! :/
wait how did I give a spoiler for the affair?! I just said I liked the screen time that Joshua Jackson got??
Buy one of those IKEA kid’s stools and spraypaint it gold and glittery? bonus – the kid will love it in the bathroom or kitchen later on?
I am all about Christmas music, and have been for 3 weeks now! Haha! I love it so much!
Glad you didn’t mention Walking Dead in the tv section this week because I haven’t watched it yet! Can’t wait to though!
OMG THERE ISNT A NEW SONS OF ANARCHY TONIGHT!!!!! Not til next week! I can’t believe it! I just realized that now when I checked my DVR. AHHHHH!!!!! Two more episodes left!!
I’m up to my ears in Christmas music and it’s getting dangerously close to my tolerance level! I ADORED the Pitch Perfect 2 trailer.. think I watched it at least 342 times!
You had me at Pitch Perfect! Hoooraaayyy I can’t wait!
I’ve already started listening to Christmas music. I have listened to the Darius Rucker and Michael Buble albums on repeat for the last week. And I didn’t think pop corn could get much better (or worse for you) than I already make it (say hello to melted butter and pop corn layered like a trifle), but bacon fat??? Stop it!
Homeland – OMGeeee it stressed me out Sunday!! It’s so good this season. It’s back to all it’s glory. I just want to hug Saul. Carrie is just bat sh-t crazy as ever.
The Affair – right???? I’m loving that show because of Pacey!!
The whole LEFTOVERS things…that’s the whole point of Thanksgiving, right? ;)
I know you don’t exactly live in this area of PA but do have any recommendations for the Allentown/Orefield PA area? Coffee, doughnuts, must-have foods? Headed that way for this weekend!
i am not familiar with that area at all! so sorry. i wish i had some good donut recs for you. have a great weekend!
I definitely more excited for the leftovers!!
I’m so behind on Scandal!
Christmas music is now exclusively played on the radio!
Last week’s SOA was soo good, like you said the acting was on point. Loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to see how the wrap everything up. I also can’t wait for Pitch Perfect 2! Love Rebel!!
Ok so I can’t get enough of PItch Perfect either. Rebel Wilson cracks me up!! You’ll love this clip because it just compiles every funny line of hers into a little less than 4 minutes! Enjoy :)

love that 15-things article. perfect, thanks for sharing!
xo, cheyenne
I think it’s rude Pitch Perfect 2 comes out with a trailer this soon. Way too soon. Now May can’t come soon enough!! (Also, it just adds to my lifelong dream of being a good singer – which, alas, I am not).
It took me a bit to really get into How To Get Away With Murder, but now I love it. Do you listen to the Shondaland Podcast?
