Good morning, friends, and happy Monday. In this live I’m just doing a quick morning chit chat with y’all on my way to work—talking about how my weekend went, what’s going on this week, and checking in with everybody. It was about 43° here in Alabama, and honestly I didn’t do a whole lot this weekend besides housework, relaxing, and going up to my dad’s to meet with a contractor because we’re getting his back redone in January. My sister also came in from South Carolina, so I got to visit with her a little bit too. I also shared a little bit of my everyday life stuff—like how this new work schedule has me getting up at 3:30 a.m. and it is really getting to me. At work we’re doing fun Christmas themes all month, and today was ugly sweater day (this busy Christmas sweater was perfect). I asked y’all about Christmas shopping and favorite Christmas movies, because I’m trying to finish shopping by next week so I’m not stuck in those last-minute crowds. And of course I reminded everyone that my Vlogmas Day 3 video is premiering later today (I’m sharing a recipe), so make sure notifications are on so you don’t miss it.
