Last night I waved a coworker off wishing her a great weekend. On a Monday. It’s safe to say that this week is already feeling long. The temperature has dipped to almost freezing, and every time I come back to the house, I’m reluctant to leave again. Life would be better in some form of hibernation over the winter, and while I’m not a bear, I’m doing my best to replicate the cozy cave thing here on my couch. Tonight I’ve been curled up, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, drinking the Trader Joe’s Harvest Blend Herbal Tea (thank you, Alexann!) in the brand new mug that Devon gave me.
Can we speak about this mug for a moment? When I came home from my race, it was waiting for me – not only is it one of my favorite colors, but the Frenchie looks suspiciously like our RunKeeper office dog @frenchiedijon. Yes, we’ve become those people. Totally lusting after the dogs of coworkers and friends. Dijon’s mom already knows that if he goes missing she should probably call me.
The mug was part of a two part wonderfully thoughtful gift – the second box was filled with two special bags of coffee from Blue Bottle, which means that my mornings for the next week or two are going to be stellar.
So about this gift giving business. I’m notoriously bad at it. But because I’ve resigned myself to the holiday season being here, I’ve been putting together a Pinterest board of food gifts so I don’t forget about all the things that I’d like to acquire. (Mostly for myself.) I’ll be adding to it over the next few weeks. Take a look!
