Once again, I'm hitting Friday like a brick wall and crossing my fingers, toes, eyes, and anything that can be crossed in hopes that next week will hold less insanity than this past week.  Monday began at 4:30a.m. with the flooding of Norwyk Manor's front half.  Let's say that my attitude was slightly less than virtuous.  In a way, that flood was both a metaphor and an omen for how the rest of the week would go.  I self-medicated with solitary hours in the confines of my closet and birth stories on YouTube.  

On a less self-condemning note, I started this book this week and I already love it.  Such good words of encouragement. 

Yep, I'm sold. I know what I'm watching this weekend. 

I am really intrigued by this vanilla rosemary latte. 

The pumpkin candles have been bought and now I am just counting down the days until September 1st, when I can finally allow myself to light them.  I could conceal it no longer, I am so ready for fall! 

What are you up to this weekend?  Tell me all the things! 

Wishing you all a wonderful Friday! 

Sincerely, 

Pedantic Foodie
