Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. I seriously can’t believe that Christmas is literally one week from today. One.week. I don’t know if it’s because this year flew by and my brain’s still stuck in the beginning of November or what, but I’ve really been struggling with the Christmas spirit this year. Normally I’m all sorts of excited, but I had a hard time even convincing myself to put the tree up this year. It’ll probably hit me the actual day of, but for now, this is basically how I feel…
2. In other Christmas news, did you know that this Christmas Day will be the first one since 1977 that will see a full moon? So if you’re younger than 38, it’ll be the first Christmas full moon that you’ll see… with the next one not happening until 2034. I’m not huge on astronomy and I have no idea what that means, but it showed up in my news feed and I thought it was an interesting little tidbit to share ?

3. I also thought I’d share some pictures from last weekend’s trip to the mountains because… pretty ?
4. And in case you were wondering (because I know you were), a snowboarding boot makes for an excellent cup holder…
5. Testing the limits of your car’s gas tank on the highway, on the other hand, is probably not as great of an idea…
6. So you know when you’re going through your workout and a song comes on that makes you feel like you just got a huge shot of adrenaline? That’s exactly what happened to me while I was snowboarding last weekend. I’ve been feeling a little meh towards music lately, so I grabbed one of my old iPods (from 8+ years ago?) to see if anything older would do the trick. Let’s just say that this song very much did…

7. An update on my planner drama:
That finally happened yesterday, which means that my planner should be here at some point today. I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much, but I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t really looking forward to getting my hands on my ECLP. If everything goes according to plan, I’ll hopefully be able to get a review up for you guys some time next week. Fingers crossed!
8. And are we seeing this?!
I found it while I was at the grocery store the other day (the checkout shelves ALWAYS get me), and I HAD to pick it up because… minions ? That being said, I’ll probably never use it because it’s made with a tonne of chemicals that I don’t want anywhere near my mouth (polyisobutene, phenoxyethanol, yellow 10 & 5?!?). I love that it smells like bananas, but I’ll stick to my lip butters from Rocky Mountain Soap, thanks much.
9. And to end things on an awesome note, you have GOT to check out this video from People Are Awesome. Just don’t try any of these things at home ?

Aww, I miss Limp Bizkit… not really… but kinda… in a guilty pleasure kinda’ way. I don’t think Fred has any hopes of a comeback, but a throwback song here and there still puts me in a good mood. Break Stuff helps me lift heavy stuff. haha
those pictures look like they are fake they are so amazing!! i love the mountains, wish i lived somewhere that was closer they are so pretty to look at and amazing to explore. i cannot wait to see your review of the planner but sheesh how frustrating the shipping debacle of 2015 right!
I feel like I’m really not in the holiday spirit yet either. When I got back from my cruise it was all of a sudden the holiday season and I’m so not ready for it yet. I still have so many presents to buy and things to bake!
The last week can be the best time to get into it! Sometimes I feel like the crazy last-minute rush is what really does it for me.
I love that fact about the full moon! Now I am going to look into whether or not that applies to Australia too… You never know in upside down land!
It takes everything I have within me not to buy all things minion! But I’m sure with all the Star Wars madness that the minion merchandise will calm down a lot!
Talk about a throwback, I jam to that Limp Bizkit song sometimes! I have it on my iPod on my “Run Hard, Work Hard” playlist. It’s full of pump up music. 🙂
Gorgeous photos from your trip as usual, and that’s pretty cool about the Xmas full moon. I can’t believe how quickly December went by either!
And I totally want to go old school and listen to some Limp Bizkit right now! 🙂
Oh my gosh Limp Bizkit…whatever happened to those guys? I was supposed to go to their concert when I was in university in Vancouver and they cancelled the day of. Boo.
Love your pictures of the mountains! They are so pretty and we are so lucky to live so close by!
I was wondering wondering what happened to them as well! I Googled it and no one really knows… they just kind of fell off the radar.
Is that your Charlie Brown tree??? I.love.it!
lol: Yup! That’s my Peanuts tree!
That is so cool about the full moon on Christmas! I’m praying for a cold front to come through Florida, Even if it’s just 65 degrees lol… It’s been beach weather here!
I LOVE the mountain photos! And Christmas is coming WAY too quickly!
Wow those photos in the mountains are beautiful! Where is that at?

Those are the Rockies around Jasper, Alberta 🙂
I looooove Rocky Mountain Soap! Have you tried their tinted lip glosses? They’re pretty awesome – I applied it, then went to a hot yoga class & it was STILL in tact after.
I don’t think I have! Heck, I’m not even sure that I’ve seen them. I’ll keep my eyes open.
i can’t even get into the christmas spirit either. It’s like whoa.. where the heck did it come from? i need more time! and I need to savor the holiday music more!! sad.
Can i come visit so i can actually experience real snow?
YES! I’ll make tasty GF cookies and we can have them with coffee by the fire while it snows outside 🙂
