  • ๐Ÿฟ Decided it wasn’t too early to watch Home Alone, as it’s one of our holiday favorite. The amount of abuse those poor thieves take from Kevin…it’s funny/painful to watch. ๐ŸŽ„

  • ๐Ÿฟ Always a favorite, who doesn’t hope for some sort of miracle during the holiday season, especially after watching Miracle on 34th Street. ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป๐ŸŽ„

  • ๐Ÿฟ It wasn’t our first movie of the Holiday Season (sadly, we watched a bit of a stinker last night) but “While You Were Sleeping” was the perfect palate cleanser and a great movie to watch the night before our first snowfall of the year. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฅถ๐ŸŽ„

    I took a random Friday off from work last month to drive down to my parents' lake house to help them with some heavy chores around their lake house…and this was the view from their dock. ๐Ÿฅบ

    A serene lake reflects the autumn trees and sky, with houses lining the forested shoreline.

    Met up with some old friends / former coworkers for tasty Thai food and some venting. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ ๐Ÿ“ท

    Two spring rolls are served on a decorative blue and white plate. A plate of rice is topped with a creamy green curry sauce and garnished with various vegetables.
  • Out shopping for tonight (having friends over to watch Hocus Pocus) and stopped by a local coffee shop for my annual pumpkin spice latte; the name of the shop might have changed but it still looks just like it did when a friend of mine and I would frequent it for breakfast back in the day. ๐ŸŽƒโ˜•๏ธ ๐Ÿ“ธ

    A few weeks ago, my Partner and I tried out a new (to us) Mexican restaurant, with some interesting decor. ๐Ÿ˜† The food was tasty, we’ve been back more than a few times since. ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

  • ๐Ÿ“ท The Garmin I referenced yesterday:

    A Garmin Venu 3S smartwatch box is placed on a table with a puzzle and a few autumn leaves. A smartwatch with a black strap is displayed in an open box on a table covered with a music-themed puzzle and accompanied by autumn leaves.

    I tend to “fall in love” pretty fast with new tech gadgets…and past is prologue in this case; I just hope the infatuation with this new “watch” sticks. ๐Ÿคฃ

  • The weather was so lovely over lunch, I went for a walk. ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    A white cloud icon indicating overcast weather, with text showing '74ยฐ Feels 74ยฐ Overcast for the hour,' against a blue background featuring illustrated green trees and hills.

    Whilst walking, I stumbled across the cutest flowers. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ“ท

    Pink and white flowers bloom on vine-covered plants, wrapping around a white picket fence in a garden.
  • Met up with some friends tonight for dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant. Nine times out of ten, I get the same dish…why mess with perfection. ๐Ÿ˜‹ ๐Ÿ“ท

    A steaming plate of stir-fried tofu and vegetables rests on a patterned dish, situated on a white tablecloth, accompanied by silverware. Text: 'lostinhaaste.com' is visible at the bottom right.
  • It’s been years since I saw one in the wild but whilst my friend and I were out, we dropped by a second-hand shop and I found an AirPort Time Capsule. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ“ท

  • Friend of mine came into down and we ended up getting ramen for lunch. ๐Ÿ˜‹ ๐Ÿœ ๐Ÿ“ท

  • We weren’t planning on watching the Olympics Opening Ceremony tonight but the Boo pulled out the rabbit ears from the basement; it was an amazing show but now I miss Paris. ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ“ท

    A television displays a hot air balloon over trees with 'PARIS Opening Ceremony' and the website 'lostinhaste' overlaid. Olympic rings and the NBC logo are in the corner.
  • Went down to the ‘Rents lake house to celebrate my Father’s birthday, and of course, enjoyed some good wine. ๐Ÿท

    A glass of red wine sits on a wooden surface, with blurred green trees and a lake in the background.

    My little brother took us out on the boat after the barbecue.

    Gentle waters extend towards a tree-lined shore under a cloudy sky.

    It really is beautiful down there, especially when most of the folks aren’t on the lake. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ“ท

    Clouds scatter across the sky over a serene lake surrounded by trees.
  • Some friends recently redid their backyard and deck…and invited us over to see it mostly complete, as well as enjoy a glass of wine and treats.

    The sunset was lovely…the very excitable pup was slightly medicated. ๐ŸŒ… ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ“ท
