Tuesday Things.
1. I wish I was the stylish cool person who could decorate multiple trees every year and do them differently every year, like in wild, holiday colors. Then I also want to be the person who uses all the same decor for nostalgic purposes like my mom did. First world problems.
2. GUYS. Funfetti gingerbread house. Let me repeat: FUNFETTI GINGERBREAD HOUSE. I’m done.
3. Have you seen the pantone colors of the year? Rose quartz?! Serenity?! I die. Both are so gorgeous and I haven’t been this excited since the days of radiant orchid. But p.s. why are there two? I only want one. (But don’t make me choose.) And I like how they are mixing them.
4. Twice in the last week I used the incorrect version of “here” and “hear.” TWICE. I hate myself.
5. What Home Alone would look like if it were set in 2015. YES.
6. Um, dreams do come true: Ryan Gosling on SNL. I can’t take his giggles!
7. The Affair: hello again delicious looking Pacey! I am blown away at how freaking GOOD this show is. I want to write an entire blog about it, gah. My hatred for Noah is unreeeeeeal. Homeland: WTF with Allison, and most importantly, HOW are we going to get Quinn and Carrie together by two more episodes? I mean, that’s what the show is about, right. Also Nashville, I’m so sad how what they are turning Maddie into. Otherwise I have sooo much TV catching up to do, I think we will restart the Leftovers, watch my DVRed episodes of Empire and a bunch of others.
8. As a sidebar, if you live in PA, are you just as horrified by Gus the groundhog and his family in the PA lottery commercials? Watch closely. It’s terrifying. Make it stop.
9. This is seriously my life. Last week once night I was actually googling “how can I feel like time is going slower?!” and tada! how to slow it down.
10. On loving thy neighbor. Soul warming. ADORE this.

Thank you so much for posting the loving thy neighbor link. It was a timely reminder (and kick in the pants!) for me this morning. Like most, the holidays seem to bring out extra tension among certain family members, but it’s so important to look past those tensions and simply love on them. We can never truly know what someone else may be going through, but we can know that simply loving one another will impact the relationship towards the positive. Thanks again!
The affair was SO GOOD this week!!!! I also agree. HELLO Pacey! He looked gooood. And I hate Noah as well. He gets worse and worse each week. Never had a good feeling about that guy. Also, I can’t not think of their psychiatrist as Miranda from S&C.
And Homeland. They can’t kill Quinn, right? Connor thinks he is going to die!
I am loving Homeland this season, it is so good. I’m so so worried about Quinn. And I’m still one episode behind on The Leftovers, but it has been a very solid season. Confusing as eff, and frustrating because of it, but also really good. Everything is about to hit the fan, I think. Keep watching!!
Also, I miss The Walking Dead. Wahhh…
Funfetti gingerbread house …. it’s like people just get me!!
Also, Gosling owns my heart … so does my husband, but still HUBBA HUBBAA!!
That funfetti gingerbread house is so cute!! I can’t decide how I feel about their being two colors this year. It’s odd. And almost baby showerish? But I like both colors. I have debated watching The Affair so many times! Mostly because PACEY. I’m a couple episodes behind on Homeland but geez this season is wild.
YES- write a post about the Affair!! No one I know is watching it and it is driving me crazy that I can’t talk about it with anyone!! I’m making my husband watch it whenever he has the time. I ‘m obsessed with this show!
That funfetti gingerbread is genius! How have I not made this yet!

#8 made me laugh. out. loud.
YES.
Me too! It’s his creepy little paws, I cringe when that commercial comes on.
Ditto AnnaKAthryn above. Thanks for the http://thefreshexchangeblog.com/2015/12/love-thy-neighbor/ Love your neighbor post. Those efforts don’t even cross our minds, when in fact–they change lives–even without a kickstarter campaign!!
Heartwarming YES.
I feel the same way about trees. As it is, I have 3 going – one big and two small, and they’re all themed. I want another one too, but it takes me forever and a day to set them up. Meanwhile, I can’t let go of ancient ornaments.
Would looooooove to see Kristin Wiig and Bill Haders as the Home Alone parents. DIE! That would be awesome. Saw that movie in the theater as a kid and it’s still a fave Christmas film to this day!
Multitasking in the morning as usual reading your blog and my email and came across this mention. I wanted to share for you to enjoy! Keep up the wonderful work and I love reading and cooking along with you.

Noah is the devil. No one in my house understands how I can hate him!! Thank you for the continuing validation that it’s okay to do so. And, most definitely a huge yes to giving The Leftovers another chance. I’m not in PA so I don’t know about Gus the groundhog, but I am so unhappy about Rudolph in all of these AT&T commercials this year. Thanks for always giving me a smile on Wednesday…you have no idea how much I look forward to your Tuesday things.
Please , please do an AFFAIR post. Love the show!
OMG. YES. The Gus the groundhog commercials are totally creepy and weird! Gus was weird enough but now all the other family members and friends are just too much!! Thank you for saying this – I thought I was the only one that noticed the weirdness!
that slowing down time article! i read it awhile ago, but i still dont know where 2015 went.
