5 Good Things (…in the wake of today’s insanity)

Since we all woke up in an alternate universe today, Karrie and I thought it was only appropriate to distract ourselves with a few good, happy things:

1.  THIS QUOTE…

…which I read on insta this morning, and in a sea of people shaking their fingers and talking about how scared they were inside their own homes and wanting to move abroad (did you know Canada’s immigration site crashed last night when it became clear Trump was going to take the election??  BAHAHAHHA)… this is the one thing that made the most sense to me.  Because all you really have control over is your own attitude and behavior:

2.  THIS NO-FAIL RECIPE FOR APPLE PIE.  

Which is to die for, as is evidenced by my pants being about to bust.  Tip: if you can slice your apples paper thin with a mandolin, that would be amazing.  Also, you should obviously draw a heart in the top like I did. #carebearstare

3.  THIS GUY, HAPPY AS A DAM* CLAM, hopping around like a baby bunny on Gummy Beary Juice (video here).  #gusgusforpresident #gusgus2020…  also, are you following I Love Golden Retrievers on Insta?  You should be.

4.  THIS VIDEO THAT WARMS MY ^#$@ HEART TO NO END.

Which if you haven’t seen yet, you should take 5 minutes to watch.  It will slay you in the best way you can possibly imagine.

5.  THIS FUN FACT:  Holiday Gift Guides 2017 are on deck, people.  

Karrie is hosting Turkey Day this year at Casa Covet Living, which means we plan on logging extra time in our elastic waistband sweatpants after dinner, plopped in front of the tube watching Planes Trains & Automobiles, with our matching laptops, scouting out the best gifts out there.  We may seriously suck at blogging for 50 weeks out of the year, but when it comes to CL’s Holiday Gift Guides, we do not mess.  If you wanna get a jump start, you can start perusing the gift guide archives here.

Hearts & Stars, Guys!  Keep your chin(s) up 🙂
