I'm sorry your kitty was sick and that you and your hubby were too! My husband and I also still celebrate our dating anniversary and it's such a fun tradition. I don't need an excuse to make time for a date night. Glad December is off to a good start! Over here too.

Yes! We dated for so long before we got engaged, too, so it felt weird to just stop acknowledging that date when we had been celebrating it for 6 years already!

I just finished reading Rental House earlier this morning, it’s a very quick read. I liked it and will be thinking about it for awhile…

I’m reading it on the tails of Real Americans by Rachel Khong and they are so great in conversation together!

Awe one of our kitty had UTI issues, it's tough, hope he feels better soon!!

Isn’t it the worst?! Hopefully we’ll get some test results back soon so he’ll start feeling better.

yes, in so many ways! She had stones too. We were able to get her on some urinary tract food that helped for a while after as well— the stress of moving really sent her into a mess. Poor guy!!

Really great movie picks! I loved The Holdovers so thanks for putting Nutcrackers on my radar.

I'm so excited to read Martyr! I believe that it is under the Christmas tree waiting for me to open :)

I hope kitty is ok! I could eat soup for months at a time. Yum.

I know, it's just the best this time of year isn't it?

I was 'ho,hmmm?' (that's a thing) about The Book of George, but you might have just got me with your reference to The American Wife... And yes please to a not-too-mawkish festive book. (I like a good old fashioned murder around this time of year. Not literally, you understand.)

I think you'd enjoy it (or be infuriated by it?!), but she is so funny in her writing and portrayal of George. Definitely poking fun at him!

I'm with you on gift giving this year! It gets out of hand so quickly and doesn't feel super festive. I'm glad it's been a good season for you so far.

Yes, out of hand is such a good word for it! It's been so nice to do what works best for me and not overthink it.

Possibly off topic, but I'm obsessed with the styling of your living room! Love the touches of Christmas
