Weekending

Linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday:

Friday, our school district didn´t have school due to parent teacher conferences so I had the day to myself. I decided to do a little shopping. Not my favorite activity but neither is not feeling like I have enough clothes :(. I will be doing a multi week sub job soon and while I technically have enough clothes, I don´t care for my fall clothes for school. I have plenty of sweaters but many of them are cashmere or very heavy or holiday themed. I looked online at some of my favorite places but didn´t see much that I liked. I headed to my new favorite consignment shop in Franklin. I posed with my outfit before heading out.

Seven fingers visible for being ranked 7th in the nation. I was worried we´d lose on Saturday (no one has ever accused me of being an optimist...) so I wanted to pose with seven fingers while we were still ranked 7th. 

Did I miss my calling to be an influencer?? You know what sounds the most fun about that (I guess besides making money?)? It´s fun with hashtags that I could have on IG. Do they even do hastags on the TikTok? Here are my hashtags:

In Franklin- I got stuck at a light in front of the library so I took a picture. Our library system includes the libraries in Springboro and Franklin. Our library board president is married to the city manager of Franklin. Our president frequently mentions businesses in Franklin which is actually how I heard of my destination in Franklin. 

Vinnie & Velvet- they sell some new clothes and gift items and they consign clothes

The store also has a bakery and a place to buy dirty sodas.

The trifecta- good deals to be had on gently used clothes, sweet treats, and fancy pop. YES, please! And bonus that the place is cute as a button. 

I got the stick season- so good!



I got all of these tops for $32. The Bronco Girl sweatshirt is for Abby and the Ohio State sweatshirt is for Alyssa. The other three tops are mine. They range from sizes XS to large, lol. The cream sweater is XL- it´s definitely too big for me but I think (hope?) that the large cable knit will make it look ok being oversized? 




I picked up pizza for dinner and we had a quiet evening at home. The guys had plans so I read my (very good) book and had some popcorn. 



I got up early and ran on Saturday.  I got some things done around the house and then watched college football. It was a great football game Saturday for us. University of Cincinnati beat a ranked team, Ohio State won, University of Tennessee won and most importantly, Indiana University won! My brother came to our house to watch the game. It was a nail biter and IU was not projected to win. The game was at Oregon. 

So much green and yellow

IU´s colors are better :)

We started to watch the game inside but finished it outside.

IU´s coach looks like the 8th grade science teacher at your school whom you hope you don´t get!

After the game, Donnie grilled burgers. We´ve been grilling steak much more than burgers lately. My brother said that burgers sounded really good so Donnie grilled some. Great choice!
 

Sunday morning, I woke up early and ran. We went to church and then was home for a short while before I left to visit a family member who was in the hospital. Came home and relaxed the rest of the day. Not a good NFL game for us as the Cowboys and the Bengals lost.

Donnie grilled steak for dinner that we ate while watching the Bengals lose :(.
