It is a blistery fall morning here in my sprawling midwestern metropolis.
There is a harsh wind roaring outside my kitchen window and the sky is a whitish gray.
I'm bundled up in a wool blanket, sipping steaming chai, surrounded by kleenex.
My allergies have been severe all summer and now that fall is here, they're even worse. I'm completely miserable.
I haven't really updated you on my life recently, so here I am.
These days I have been freelancing for a smaller newspaper, filling in for a reporter who is on maternity leave. I'm back to covering city council meetings and writing feature stories, which is fun. The town I'm covering is about an hour away from here, so it is a little bit of a drive, but totally worth it. I love being back in the game.
This weekend, I'm actually covering a couple events, so I'll be kind of busy.
I have also been spending a lot of my free time pinning.
I've been on pinterest for a while now, but I just added a button to my sidebar in case you want to follow my boards.
Anyway, that's really all I have to say for now...
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

So excited for you babe! Happy Saturday :D xx
Ha! You have a "hot mess" pinboard! That's hilarious. Congrats on the job...I'm glad that you're starting to get back into doing the things that you love to do. I already put up my seven links a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd just feature of few of yours in my Reader Grab Bag this week.
I love the picture ;)
Great job on the freelancing, darling!
Hope you are having a lovely weekend :)

Oh feel better asap!!! I had no idea seasonal allergies get worse come fall :(( Really not fun, especially when you have things that need your full attention, like work!
That is interesting. I saw on a social networking site (can't remember which one) that you were a freelance journalist and I had been meaning to ask about it.
this is wooow!^.^

Be honest, city council meetings are in no way as fun as blogging.
Still, pays the rent I guess. You ought to float this blog on the stockmarket. The number of followers you have will get you a fortune!
i have to get into pinterest! glad that you are writing features--you are an incredible writer! i love writing features.
good luck with your allergies!
I wish you great weekend too.. Have a great time on all that events, hope they are not boring :)
beautiful picture!!!
how exciting for you!! and i hope your allergies get better! :)

I once considered the idea of me being a freelancer, I like writing too but I'm not good at it in professional way :D I write just random things for myself :D

Wow, where you are sounds exactly like where I am, although I'm drinking vanilla lattes. I hear you about the allergies, my son has them too and I can hear the poor kid snoring all night.

Pinteresting. I hope you feel better, though Kleenex probably hopes you don't.
I just started getting into pinterest a few days ago and i'm a little obsessed :) I'm following you now, and I'll have to add a button... good idea!
XOXO
glad you are back covering councils - what is pinning, tho?
although your allergies sound like NO fun, your freelance gig sure does! Enjoy!
So glad you are back doing work you love.
I of course missed the awards show. But thank you for the post as I loved looking at the dresses. The top two are my fave. I love vampire diaries too.
