Friday Favorites, 10.25.2024.

 


Happy Friday, friends! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for today's blog post. How has your week been? My week was pretty good, but also mundane at the same time; that being said, I don't have a lot of pictures to share here. Sometimes things just go that way, right? 





These two images above were my favorite things that I saw on social media this week, especially that first one. It's true! I'm ready to say hasta la vista to 2024.




Days off are always a favorite! I voted on Monday, and even though it took an hour and a half, you'll never hear me complain about people voting and having to wait.




I bought a chicken pot pie from Costco on Sunday. Have you ever had one of them from there? It's already made, so all you have to do it bake it for about an hour. It may be my new favorite thing, friends; I've eaten on it all week!




I enjoyed a glass of my favorite wine this week in this adorable wine tumbler that my sister Debi gave me a couple of years ago. Isn't this cute? (Stella Rosa is my favorite brand, and the flavor was peach.)





I bought myself some new tennis shoes from the TikTok shop a couple of weeks ago, and they came in last Thursday. They're a brand called Ruibao; here's some that are similar on Amazon




Here's what mine look like on. I've worn them several times already; they're so comfy! 





Thursdays have been slow lately, and because I didn't have a lot going on yesterday, I spent two hours in this closet tackling the mess that it was. I share half of this closet with my friend Amy, our women's ministry leader; her side was a mess! In her defense, she has so many people that help her, that when things get put up, they just kind of get thrown anywhere. It's nowhere near perfect after my attempt yesterday, but it's so much better than it was, and you can walk all the way around the shelves now! Bonus! 



And this is just an appreciation comment for my favorite place to be when I'm not at home: work! I love my job, still, fourteen months later. I think the store looks really cute right now, all dressed up for fall, don't you? I stopped to take this on my way out yesterday, but I wish I'd gotten it when the lights were turned on, and the twinkly lights plugged in. 


What was a favorite of yours from this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!


Jenn 🖤

  1. I try really hard to not complain about the mundane- there just isn´t anything wrong with mundane! Your book store is looking good- it must be a huge relief to like your job. My job is like a box a chocolates in that you never know what your´re going get; I am grateful that I had a really good day at school yesterday- the very best piece of candy if we are still using a box of chocolate analogy :) Have a great weekend!

    1. There is nothing wrong with mundane! How blessed are we to even have that in our lives? Thank you for that! I love it so much there. I totally get that with the job of being a sub; I'm glad your day on Thursday was good! I know you appreciate them. I hope you enjoy your weekend, my friend!

  2. This week my favorite was that a friend came over and blew off our roof without us knowing they were coming. That may seem insignificant and random, but since David can't get on the roof, it was such a blessing. The funny (Murphy's law) thing that happened was that they chose the very hour that David was inside the house doing a zoom conference call with a major project he had been working on. Thankfully no one on the call could hear the leaf blower, but it was going the entire time David was doing his presentation. :) Such is life! One adventure after another :)

    1. That is so sweet of your friend, even if it was an inopportune time! What in the world would we do without our friends? They're such a blessing!

  3. It is so cute! Those tennis shoes look comfy and supportive. I have not gone down the TT shop rabbit hole yet and don't really understand it if I'm being honest! I had a similar week - just rinse and repeat - without many photos.

    1. Thank you! They're pretty great, I must admit. I don't really understand it either, only that they put things for sale that are extremely cheap. The shoes were $30, including the tax and shipping. You can't beat that price! I'm glad I wasn't the only one with a week like that. I hope you enjoy your weekend, my friend. Much love!

  6. The store looks great! I love a good messy space that I can tackle and clean and see clear results of what I've done; even if it's not perfect when I'm done.

    1. Thank you! I like that kind of thing for the very same reason. It's one of my favorite things to do, actually!

  7. I really hope that first image is true, especially for you. You deserve all the happiness.
    Good on you for voting. I always vote when I get the chance, it's something which needs to be done.
    Your store really does look cute.

  8. I bet you will really celebrate on New Year's Day, ringing in 2025! I also voted this week, but didn't have a wait at all. Our county has so many early voting locations so maybe that helped. I hope you have a relaxing weekend.

    1. FOR SURE! Even if nothing is final yet, I'll still be celebrating the start of a new year. That's great that you didn't have to wait! I honestly didn't mind the wait; the time passed quickly by reading on my phone. I hope you have a great weekend, my friend! xoxo

  9. Our pantry at church gets to looking pretty much upside down. I haven't been able to volunteer with this foot banged up for almost 2 months but hope to help during the holidays. I bet things are pretty well a mess right now.

    Yay for voting. Yay for heavy voter turnout. We had to wait in line, too, which we both did gladly.
