1. It has been the most beautiful week! Blue skies, sunshine, and temperatures in the low to mid 60’s. Perfection!

2. I cleaned all of our blinds on Tuesday. Like every single blind blade individually. It was the most tedious chore ever, I hated every minute of it, but it was totally worth it. I’m crazy.
3. Congratulations to this awesome lady on her pregnancy! She and her husband rock at making some pretty darn adorable kiddos.
4. I saw this on Courtney’s blog the other day, and I had to share it. It totally brought me back to my childhood!
5. Courtney and Julie inspired me with their recent “friends’ Thanksgiving” dinners to host our own this weekend! It’ll super fun and delicious!
6. Is anyone else terrible at remembering to get their oil changed? I finally got mine changed this week after telling myself I need to do it for… oh, the past 4 months? Oops.
7. Umm I really want to find this pudding… I’m intrigued!
8. This heartburn stuff is really not cool. Like not cool at all. It loves to pay me a visit pretty much right after dinner every night. Gotta love these awesome pregnancy side effects. ![]()
9. Aaaand I’m out. Make it a great day my lovely friends!
Questions:
-
What would you deem as the most tedious chore ever?
-
Can anyone else relate to the 90’s kid thing?

We did a friendgiving in college – it was so much fun! And the only reason I remember to get my oil changed is because every few months john takes it to get it done!
Hmm I like the idea of the husband doing it…
If that first picture is one from your town — it’s breath-taking!! Wow!! You’re SO lucky to live somewhere SO beautiful!
The chore I find most tedious is laundry folding — mainly because I don’t see a point to it … And it’s totally on my to-do list today. No fun. It would be fun if I could get that pudding as a way to reward myself though!! Oh my. We NEVER have good flavours up here in Canada (apparently you guys have gingerbread oreos?!) — so I might have to live vicariously though others on that one!!
It sure is where we live, and yes, it’s very beautiful! I despise folding laundry as well. I think every week as I’m folding laundry I have to remind myself that I’m thankful I have clothes to fold, AND it really only takes me about 20-30 minutes to do.
I am REALLY into the idea of doing a Friendsgiving! But my next party idea is a wine tasting party. I just need to plan it.
A wine tasting party sounds like so much fun too!
Wait itz not cool to say SIKE anymore??
Bahahaha
Yeah I should totally clean my blinds too, but I can’t bear how tedious it’ll be. It’s one of those reeeally nasty jobs. That and cleaning skirting boards…seriously. Like once a year jobs…if that… whoops.
Oh same here! It rarely gets done!
I’ve never had pregnancy heartburn, but I do get heartburn frequently! Some things that help are chewing gum immediately after eating, ginger (tea or chews), and sleeping on your left side(this one ALWAYS works for me) if you get it during the night. Hope one of these works for you!
Thank you for the tips! I’ll definitely be trying those out!
#4 in the 90′s post – YES. I used to love that :-p
Putting away the dishes from the dishwasher and folding and putting away clothes are those chores that are always most tedious/annoying..
lol! I can relate to all of the ’90s activities! I read today that Boy Meets World is coming to Disney as a sequel and I cannot wait! Best show! Lol
Folding laundry is another one of my dreaded chores! And YES, I heard about the Boy Meets World sequel! So exciting!
I agree with cleaning blinds. Good for you for doing it! I just pay someone to come and take them down, clean them and put them up – haha.
Yes I love that 90s kid thing! Loved Oregon Trail.
Going to get my oil changed this morning!
You want to pay for someone to come clean our’s too?
Just kidding!
yup 100% relate to the 90s kid thing
haha
TWO shout outs in one post?! Holy cow, I think my head is going to start getting big…
Bahaha, kiddingggggg. That pudding is definitely interesting though!
Haha I guess I just love you THAT much.
I’m thinking of doing a friendsgiving too, it seems so fun!! Love the 90′s kid thing, so perfect!
I saw the ’90s thing on Courtney’s blog , as well, and I can totally relate! It’s so funny to think back on it. The picture of the mountain is beautiful. Jealous!
oh gosh cleaning blinds are so freaking annoying! I can’t believe christmas stuff is out already, so early!
I’m convinced that I need to move to your state–the weather always looks so beautiful!
We are pretty darn lucky here weather-wise. However, we do have our fair share of ugly days during the winter due to the inversion/pollution we get from the surrounding mountains.
hahaha I was like a young kid in the 90′s but I do remember people saying that haha especially “why don’t you marry it?!” hahaha
I can most definitely relate to all of those 90s kid things! Ah I miss the 90s.
Me too! It was a good decade.
I love that 90′s kid thing!! haha so funny!!! I hate unloading the dishwasher, not sure why I find it so annoying, but I’d rather wash all the dishes by hand then have to unload just to put dirty dishes away. haha I’m nuts!
I love that 90′s thing. Makes me laugh. The weather has been pretty decent here too! I’m impressed. I’m quite curious about this candy cane jello, I’m trying to wrap my head around it and see if it would taste good.
It’s actually pudding, but yes, I keep going back and forth about how I feel about it!
Ahhh those love/hate chores. Some of mine include cleaning the baseboards and the oven. I need to pick one and get to it soon! But I loooove cleaning blinds.
….SIKE!
haha
Lol I love you
HAHA I love that 90′s thing, I can relate to everything on there, too funny!
We need to get our oil changed too….my husband will do it soon, hopefully
Tedious…changing bed sheets…I’m just no good at it! Watch out with tomatoes, citrus fruits and peppermint…they can all aggravate the heartburn as well as juices and any high fat foods…including nut butter unfortunately
They’ll cause your stomach to produce more acid. Bananas, Aloe Vera juice and Ginger can all help alleviate it!
Great to know about the heartburn – I had no idea! Thank you!
I did a Friendsgiving back in 2010 with my twin sis and my best friend from Tennesseee…small group but we had the BEST time & made lots of good food! Great idea, indeed!
I agree with mostly everyone else on the most tedious chore – definitely laundry folding. Seems so pointless, yet must be done.
That Friends- giving sounds so cool!!
I’m totally with you on the blinds… I also hate cleaning the ceiling fans and the light globes. Both are on my to-do list. eck. maybe I’ll wait til spring.
Most tedious chore? Dusting. Hands down. That or ironing. I always convince my boyfriend to do it for me haha
Haha we pretty much just don’t iron… A spray bottle does the trick!
Most tedious task ever = unloading the dishwasher… yuck!
I’m intrigued by that peppermint pudding too!
Lol- I love that 90′s thing. I can relate to all of those….especially the Oregon trail day at school, that game was so awesome.
Ugh and most tedious chore? For some reason I have gotten so lazy since having a dishwasher that I am super lazy when it comes to hand washing wine glasses. they will sit on the counter for days…..
I need to do my blinds as well, blahh. I’ll just listen to some good tunes and get it all done. I wonder if 8Tracks has a “blind cleaning” playlist?
Haha they need one!
I so want to do a Friendsgiving too! I hope you have fun!!!
My dad’s always telling me that the easiest way to clean blinds (if you have the plastic kind) is to take them down, put them in the bathtub, and basically just hose them off… it doesn’t make me do it any more often, but hey it’s good to know! Haha
We have the faux wooden kind, so I suppose we could do that! Good idea!
Thank you for the reminder because I do need an oil change!! haha
Mine isn’t heartburn, but not being able to sleep…hence the awake at 5am, kill some time on the internet making blog posts AND reading others haha!
