Happy Homemaker Monday // July 8, 2019

Ah well… I didn’t manage to write this weekend, but honestly I was so busy that I really didn’t have a lot of time. It was a great weekend, though. The big exciting news is that I was appointed Library Director! I met with a few Board members Tuesday night and was offered the job and then on Saturday they had a meeting and officially appointed me. I celebrated on Sat. night by going out to dinner with a friend I haven’t seen in months, then Sunday was all about taking care of grocery shopping and chores.

Today was my first day in my new role so I am just now getting around to blogging. I actually had to head out super early this AM to drop off my car at the dealership to have some work done, so between that and a full day at work I am so ready to wind down!

As usual, I am linking up with Sandra at Diary of a SAHM for Happy Homemaker Monday.

The weather:::

Today was beautiful, but it is going to get nasty and hot again. I’m over the summer weather, let me tell you.

On the breakfast plate this morning:::
I didn’t have time to eat this morning, so I just grabbed a latte on the way from the dealership to work

Right now I am:::
Listening to Laura sing in the shower

On my bedside table:::
Same junk as last week!

On my reading pile:::
Still reading Midnight in Chernobyl

Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
Nothing really of note

On my TV this week:::Stranger Things

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I started knitting that shawl this weekend and I’m having the hardest time with it, so I ripped it all back and I need to take a step back before I pick it up again.

Looking forward to:::
Seeing my friends on Sunday afternoon for drinks and appetizers!

Looking around the house:::
Gotta do the dinner dishes. Gotta put the laundry away. Everything is kind of a mess, but that’s OK — I’ll get used to my new schedule and get back on track. 

From the camera:::
4th of July fireworks

What I’m wearing today:::
Skinny jeans, leopard print ballet flats, and a new tiered button top. I bought this one in yellow yesterday and I got so many compliments on it! I love the mustard yellow color!

One of my simple pleasures:::
An empty, clean sink when I go to bed (which is even better when I wake up in the morning and it’s still empty & clean!

    So good to see you joining in 🙂

    First and foremost, congratulations on your new job, you deserve it for sure and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it. Hope you get used to the new schedule soon.

    I LOVE your top, it's beautiful and yes, the yellow mustard is gorgeous.

    As for the summer heat, girl I'm struggling, I think it's our age but I'm really not handling heat anymore LOL

    Have a wonderful week!

    Congrats on the new job, sounds exciting!

    I've had crochet projects like that, where I just can't seem to get it right. Stepping away for a bit is usually the perfect answer.

    Hope you're having a wonderful week.
