Hey Wednesday!

Midweek - yes!  I woke up this morning thinking about two things:

1.  Friday is that much closer.
2.  Why do I feel so rushed?

And then the third thing...

I'm going to start a blog today.

Holy crap here I am sitting on my couch after a long work day and I'm like, oh hello blogger, and I'm typing away.  You can get to know me, if you want to!  Or you can peruse this first very much copy and pasted piece of blog mess and pass on me.  I don't really care your preference because like so many others I just need a little fun outlet!

What better reason to start blogging on a Wednesday other than....What's Up Wednesday?

, What’s Up Wednesday {09.25.19}I
I need prompts (obviously) and we need to mingle (hello my name is, chicka chicka slim shady, no its not...) so why this makes total sense as to why I should randomly decide to throw together a blog on the last Wednesday of the month.

Now those prompts...

What we are eating this week:

We are a THM household 90% of the time.  I only cook three days a week on average and those days I just pull from this cookbook.  (This is their second cookbook they have released.) I can give you a list of the food to make from this cookbook and a list of the stuff to never ever ever make.  But let's save that for later shall we?

This week I made a couple things out of here including the roast (no great novel idea there, traditional roast just skipped the potatoes!) and I also made the lime chicken tacos.  You really cannot screw up a taco so that is probably why it is my go to meal.

What I'm reminiscing about?

We typically take a little trip in the early fall and this year we are not.  (Hello sports.) Its a bummer and I wish I could slip away.  While I cannot go anywhere right now I can reminisce on last year's trip to East Tennessee :)


Loving?

This is going to sound super strange to many.  It may be fall and October may be standing in the corner but we have been in the 80's/90's (still) and I'm loving it.  I can stretch out my summer clothing a bit longer, I'm not freezing, I can be outside and loving it.  Yeah...ok I'm weird to you, we get that!

What have we been up to?

Gosh.  OK you don't know me and you don't really care but if you are really wondering....
Soccer, softball, and school.  That is called alliteration at it's best.  If I had been prepared to start blogging perhaps I could shower you with amazing iPhone photos but I wasn't prepared.  I just threw this all together.  I'll do better next time! 

Dreading?

Work tomorrow.  (Short term)
Cold weather. (Long term)

What I'm working on?

Gosh this is like the best question to pose when one decides to start a blog and post the most ill prepared post on the day one says here we go blogger!  I need an outlet to make me a better person.  I work out and that's great but sometimes I need diarhea of the fingers to really feel good.  Sometimes I need to vent through words and not steps or miles.  So I'm working on me through sweat equity and now word equity.

What I'm excited about?

35+ Ideas For Birthday Quotes October #quotes #birthday

October is historically a good month for us.  We have extra fun in it and Lord knows we need it right now.  I'm really excited for what the next month will bring as the ball seasons ramp up to wind down and a birthday is had and all the other good stuff that comes along with the month of fifty shades of orange.

What I'm watching and reading?

Actually, I'm about to turn on Hulu and watch the season premier of This Is Us.  Then I'll watch my DVR'd Real Housewives of the O.C. and then tonight my oldest child and I will watch a little Goldbergs.  To fall asleep I will turn on Call The Midwife (newest season on Netflix.)

I'm kind of tv addicted.

This is where I drop the ball and say while blushing - I'm not reading anything right now.  BUT I do plan to visit the library tomorrow after work and change that.

Listening to?

I love this podcast but...
Jamie's voice
drives me
crazy.

Hearts anyway.

Wearing?

Once again had I planned this out I would have some photos but I don't.  Can I show you some fall looks I am swooning over for this month and next month I will have actual photos from the professional grade iPhone (aka portrait mode!)

This weekend?

Soccer and softball and cabernet and washing my car and church and....whatever else.

What I'm looking forward to next month?

Answered that above - see October.



OK this is my best freshman try.  Thanks for sticking with it if you made it all the way to the bottom.  Next time I'll do better!  And I don't know when next time will be or what it will hold but hey...it's all good!
