Hello and happy Tuesday!
Yesterday, we finally got rain, and the gloomy skies, combined with my fall decor, made me want to hibernate at home!
Last week, I shared a Thursday Thoughts post about the “unfortunately I do love” trend for my Enneagram type. Today, I’m sharing an actual list that I compiled of things I “unfortunately do love…”
Unfortunately I do love…
- A crispy Diet Coke: McDonald’s is where it’s at for a crispy (fizzy) Diet Coke. There’s nothing better!
- A chocolate chip cookie with my CFA or Jimmy John’s order: It’s hard to resist a freshly baked cookie!
- Making a list but adding things I’ve already done just to cross them off: It’s the feeling of accomplishment, for me.
- A daily word search: I’m a little behind, but I’ve enjoyed doing a word search every morning this year. I love that it’s a mindless activity, but I also get a feeling of accomplishment from it.
- Stockpiling my seasonal candles: I have a shelf in our hall closet for my candles that is organized by seasons, and I love purchasing scents throughout the year to use at a later date.
- Justifying shopping because I have a coupon to use #girlmath: There is some saying about just because something is on sale, you don’t have to buy it. Well, what fun is that? haha But really, I don’t purchase things just to purchase something. I just mean if I need to buy my shampoo and conditioner at Ulta, I wait until I have a coupon. Same goes for Bath and Body Works and other stores. Travis likes his Kohls cash, so he can’t judge me!
- Using the same coffee mug for weeks at a time: Of course, I clean the coffee mug, but I just mean I will use the same one for a month or so or even for a season as my “go to” mug. I don’t want to make decisions in the morning, so this simplifies things.
- Using dry shampoo to get through another day without washing my hair: For as long as I can remember, I would wash my hair every other day. During Covid and spending lots of time at home, I realized I could stretch it an additional day. Now, I wash my hair every three days, and sometimes I don’t even need to use dry shampoo.
- Watching reruns of shows: Is there anything more comforting than watching a show that feels so nostalgic? Of course, I love my Golden Girls, but recently, Hulu has had some of my favorite shows like Who’s the Boss? and Mad About You. My current show to binge is Designing Women. I love those ladies too!
- Staying home: I am a homebody.
- An over-sized t-shirt: I feel comfy in an over-sized t-shirt and leggings or sweats!
- Using emojis in my text messages: Sorry not sorry! What did we do before emojis?!
This was fun to put together! Can you relate to any of these? I feel like I could make a second list! If so, I’ll share here.

Oh I like quite a few of these too! I definitely add things to to my to do list I’ve already done just so I can start crossing things off. In my Words with Friends app I play a daily word search, crossword, guess word, and something called letter lock. They’re very quick but I enjoy them. I love rewatching old sitcoms and have been periodically watching Who’s the Boss and Golden Girls as well as a “newer” sitcom Life in Pieces on Hulu lately.

This was a fun list to read and now I’m compiling one in my head. I like emojis too, and definitely love adding things done to a list to be crossed off. I wash my hear a lot less these days. Once you get into that new rhythm it’s fine and I think better for your hair. Have a great day!

I love the feeling of freshly washed hair but I’m also happy to save time and not have to wash it too often.

What a fun list! I found myself nodding in agreement multiple times, too! I love having reruns on – it allows me to multitask – and making a list so I can just cross out things. Such a feeling of accomplishment! 😍 Oh – and use of emojis! Thanks for the day brightener!

Yes! Reruns are comforting but also I can do other things since I know the plot, etc

I am laughing my head off because I have started an “Unfortunately I do love” post for next Tuesday and now you will think I am a gato de copiar (that was my classroom word for it). He he!
Yes, I can relate to so many of yours!
