Happy Friday!
Today’s post is coming in a little late as I stayed up a little too late with four of my blogger girlfriends (Kat is in town from LA so we met up with Mary, Helena, and Krystal. Minor sidebar, they all have amazing blogs if you don’t already follow them, check ’em out!) at dinner last night. Oops! I usually schedule everything in advance but yesterday snuck away from me with a last minute shoot and some other projects. So this is me, strolling into work at ten on a Friday.
ANYWAY. Do you guys watch CBS Sunday Morning?
It’s my favorite. I know I’m going to sound old when I say that I DVR it every week and almost never miss an episode. My mom and I text back and forth about whatever Jane Pauley is wearing that day and it’s become a little bit of a ritual – usually I sit on the couch and watch it with coffee while I make the following week’s to-do list, plan out my Instagram posts, and answer blog + instagram comments/questions from the day before. I think the reason I like it so much (besides the nature moment at the end – FAVORITE!) is that I always learn about something new and it sets me up for the week with something interesting to talk about when I go to events and meetings.
This past Sunday, they ran a feature on the Flat Earthers – a group of people who thought the world is flat. I found it fascinating as they seem like totally normal, level-headed people. I have to say that I in a weird way admire how deeply they believe in their stance. Also, I don’t really believe in anything (and I’m not talking about things like religion/right and wrong/moral values – I believe in those things) that strongly.
A while ago I read But What if We’re Wrong by Chuck Klosterman. I read it years ago so in all honesty I don’t remember everything, but it’s a fascinating non-fiction book. I love all of his books as he makes you think differently but for this one, the general premise is that in hundreds of years, the things we universally believe to be true could seem absurd and even totally wrong. It’s a really interesting book and definitely makes you think!
(So like, what if the Earth really is flat and we are all wrong.)
I mean… probably not but you never know! It’s interesting to think about what things we’re so sure are true now that scientists could disprove in a couple hundred years.

Do you have a DVR? I’ve been asking people this question a lot lately as I’m genuinely curious.
I never had one until I moved to Brooklyn and love mine. But my younger friends tease me about my love of my DVR. I think because I never had one (slash, didn’t know how to use my ex’s DVR when we lived together) it feels luxurious to me; but I guess nobody has cable anymore and everyone just streams? I don’t care. I love mine!!!! I’m not great at remembering what shows are on which days, so it’s always exciting when I open it and it’s full of new stuff to watch.

I just had to comment and say I LOVE Chuck Klosterman!!! His writing is the best.
The best!! I love him too 🙂
So I’m not the only one! I’m the same, Grace, I never miss an episode. The stories are always so interesting, and I love almost everything Jane wears.
YES so glad I’m not alone!
Loving the outfit so much, Grace! 🙂 I actually had to Google what a DVR is… haha *facepalm*

HAHA that’s hilarious!!
Love this outfit! You look comfortable and chic, which are my 2 criterias for dressing haha. On a separate note, can you please recommend some jean options that doesn’t get stretched out after the first wear? I am on the hunt for some that does not get all stretched out after 1 or 2 wearings since I want to wear them when traveling for 2 weeks or more and can’t do laundry . TIA!
Thank you! Give Good American a try!!!!
Do I have a DVR! I have two tvs and 3 dvrs (one fios, one Tivo for the LR and 1 tivo for the bdrm) Also I work in TV—so I guess that’s why?
HAHA I love it!
I love our DVR! we dont have regular cable- just DVR and HBO and I love to record SNL, Colbert, and OF COURSE CBS Sunday Morning. I also grew up watching with my mom and the nature minute is my favorite!
DVRS are also great for fast forwarding through award shows so it doesnt take the entire sunday night to watch them!
Yes! I so agree!
I heard about oversize plaid blazers from you first, and just saw Meghan Markle wearing the same thing on their Australia tour! Glad I have you to keep me up on these things 🙂 Thanks!
Oh good!!! Love it!!!!
For flat-earthers I’m like THEN WHERE DO OCEAN WAVES COME FROM THO?!?
HAHA totally!!!!
I love this look so much on you! Perfect for that transitional fall weather!
I love my DVR (we are dragging our feet on cutting cable and this is one reason why). Also, I believe the world is round. But I get what you are saying about being open to other points of view, especially when the voices are so reasonable.
Thank you so much Betsy!!!
(I also believe the world is round, for the record!)
I can’t imagine life without a DVR! Does that make me sound over 40? Because I am.
Here here!!!!
I love Sunday Morning! And yes it totally makes me feel old saying that. Obsessed with my DVR, most of the shows I like are on past my bedtime, hahaha, total old lady right here.
Totally agree!! Have a great weekend, Becky! xox
