Life Lately - Fall Edition


Fall is officially here although there's no sign of it in Florida. I did get a little taste of it in New York City last weekend with all the pretty Fall foliage in Central Park.


On Wednesday I had a work outing to experience the Escape Room. We were split into 3 teams since the facility has three different escape rooms. My team lost. The difficulty level is no joke and being locked in a dark room for an hour is not my idea of fun but I'll try everything once, well mostly everything!
 

On Friday I braved the Apple Store on my lunch break to get my hands on the iPhone 8. There was a line out the door but I managed to trade in my 6S and get the shiny new toy which I spent Friday night setting up and playing around with.


We were supposed to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios on Saturday but it got rained out so I spent the day doing a million loads of laundry and having a relaxing day at home with some Lola snuggles.


Saturday (Sept 23rd) was also the birthday of my college roommate who lost the battle to cancer 5 years ago so it was a day of remembering.


On Sunday morning I decorated outside with our bare minimum Halloween decor and did some online shopping for cute Fall indoor decor.

Hand Towel  *  Tealight Candle Holder  *  Throw Pillow  *  Fall In Love Candle

We ventured out for some lunch and Sunday football at our local sports bar/restaurant to get out the house and cap off the weekend.



Cheers to the week ahead...may it be short and sweet for you!

  7. That's such a bummer that y'all got rained out at Universal, but hopefully you can go back another weekend before Halloween! That's also so exciting that you got the new iPhone! I hope that you're enjoying it a lot!

  8. You'll have to let me know how you like the 8! I've been debating on getting it since I still have the 6. And I've been debating on whether I want to do HHN this year or not. I hate how busy it is but it's always so fun! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

  10. The new iPhone looks fantastic! We are heading up north soon, and I can't wait to see all the foliage, although I've been hearing it's almost as hot up there as it is down here in the south - crazy!

  11. Oh that escape room looks awesome!! What fun. I too got the iphone 8 (plus) and I love it. Sorry to hear that you got rained out for Universal. Do you get to go another time when that happens? It's still summer up here too. It's so hot and humid today, ugh, so much for cool crisp fall weather.

  12. Sending you all the love and hugs! I keep hearing about those escape rooms, and you'll have to let me know how you like the new iPhone. I just got the 7 a few months ago, so I'm no where near an upgrade but am excited about the new features especially the camera. Cheers to a fabulous week <3

  14. I would probably lose at the escape room, but what a fun experience! And a good way to get out of the office. The 8 looks awesome. I have the 7 plus, so I think I am going to wait until the next one before I upgrade again. Usually I get a new one every time but ughhhh why are they so much every time lol.

    Sending hugs. It is always sad when we are reminded of those we have lost.

  15. I was just thinking this weekend I need to decorate for fall. I don't really have anything anymore though so I'd have to go buy stuff. Maybe Target will help me out lol.

  16. Looks like a great weekend! I am a little jealous of the new phone! It is nothing like fall in Chicago right now but I am loving the last blast of heat.

  17. Yay for the new iPhone! Hope you are loving it! It definitely feels like summer here too. Maybe it'll feel like fall eventually. lol.

  18. I've always wanted to try the escape room. Sounds like fun. As does that IPhone! I still have a 5, I need to upgrade. I am hoping summer ends here soon too, c'mon fall!

  19. so i know those escape room things are all the rage right now but that honestly sounds terrifying and not very fun at all. i'm not good at stuff like that, but i am bossy lol so it would just stress me out! yay for new phone!

  21. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, she looks like such a happy and fun person. Cancer sucks.

    I'm interested to know how you go with the 8! I'm begrudgingly admitting it might be time to trade in my 6. You know how they begin to go just as a new phone is released... funny that!
