Welcome to another round of What's Up Wednesday Post! Back when I was much better about keeping a regular schedule, this was one of my favorite series that I did so I thought it would be fun to bring it back to the blog. I am hoping that this becomes a regular post and you all enjoy reading them as I go along.
1. WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK
This week we're eating what we have left of our Every Plate meals and a few of our normal staple meals. We've been trying to get back into cooking at home, but I really don't love to cook so it's hard for me sometimes. Any tips out there for ideas?
2. WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT
I've been thinking a lot lately about the blog and how it all came to fruition. For those that have been around for years, THANK YOU! You've been through some wild and crazy changes to the blog over the years. It's kind of interesting to think that I started this blog as a way to document my journey to running a 1/2 marathon and morphed into what it is today. I love how far this has come and how much of a creative outlet this has become. I hope you enjoy reading my posts as much as I enjoy writing them.
3. WHAT I'M LOVING
I picked up my daily cleaning routine again last week and I love how nice my house feels when I actually keep up on the chores. Our house never gets super dirty, but it does get messy and I always feel so much better when I stay on top of the cleaning. My friend even complimented me on how house the nice looked and it made me so proud. I love our home and love when others appreciate it as much as I do.
4. WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO
August is always a fun time between birthdays and wrapping up the summer. Last weekend I went shopping with my sister-in-law and her kiddos to get some back to school options for them. So hard to believe how big the kids are now and how much their styles have changed over the years.
5. WHAT I'M DREADING
I've been having some very frank conversations with my boss about some things that just aren't working for me in my job. It's not a fun conversation for me to have with them, but I appreciate that they're willing to hear my opinion and are seeking input in order to make improvements.
6. WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Did you see in my post yesterday that I started a little "shopping and deals" Facebook Group? Shop with Me, RunwithJackabee is a fun place where you can find opportunities to get great deals on every day items. If you're interested, you should definitely check it out. I also have a small goal to have 500 members by the end of 2021. Think I can do it?
7. WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT
I get my hair colored on Thursday and I am looking forward to saying bye bye to my gray hair. I started graying a long time ago and I hate seeing the gray. I wish I was bold enough to just grow them out, but not quite yet.
8. WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING
Do you watch Riverdale? My friend and I watch it "together" (we watch at the same time and text about it) and we're finally catching up on the episodes from the last season. Perfect timing since new episodes are starting to come out now. I'm also still working my way through The Big Bang theory with Justin and we're on the last season. I fully expect that I will cry again even though I know the ending.
9. WHAT I'M LISTENING TO
Anyone else go through Podcast phases? Right now I am obsessed with Crime Junkie. I started listening to them last year and here I am again listening to what feels like 3-4 a day (not really but I wish!) I'm so fascinated with all the stories they tell and I'm slightly obsessed.
10. WHAT I'M WEARING
I think I've posted this dress on here before, but I LOVE this dress. I have it in four colors now and it's perfect for everything. I have worn every color but one multiple times this summer and the only reason I haven't worn the one is because it's more of a fall pattern/color. Also, they're on sale right now so you should definitely check them out.
11. WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND
On Saturday we have my friend's son's 1st birthday party, the on Sunday we have a wedding reception for a friend that got married back in July. It's nice we don't have a crazy busy weekend, but I am looking forward to having some quiet time in September.
12. WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH
We always go up to the Upper Peninsula for Labor Day, so I am looking forward to that trip with Justin's parents. I am also planning to cross TWO items off my Michigan Bucket List next month: Wine & Chocolate Tour and Pictured Rocks. I'll be sure to do a post about them if/when we actually get to go and do the tours.
Well that's everything for today, I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week and are looking forward to a long weekend! Be sure to check out Shay and Shaeffer's posts too for others doing the What's Up Wednesday series.
