What's Up Wednesday {03.22.23}

               

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.

I'm linking up with Shay and Shaeffer to share what's been going on with us lately!

1. WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK

Monday: Takeout
Tuesday: Skillet Lasagna
Thursday: Cheesy Chicken and Rice
Friday: Pizza at home or takeout.  We will see how we feel. 

2. WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT

This one is a bit personal, but this time last year we were finding out that we were pregnant with our second pregnancy.  I had all the symptoms and was looking forward to my first ultrasound and seeing the baby for the first time.  Unfortunately, the universe had other plans for that pregnancy and I was not able to progress further than 8.5 weeks.  It was such a fun time telling friends and family we were pregnant again and I look back on those members with sadness and love all at once. 

3. WHAT I'M LOVING 

The sunshine has been hanging around a lot more lately and I am loving it.  I get a nice afternoon sun in my office and have been enjoying every second the sun pours into my office.  I look forward to the warmer weather and getting to be outside more. 

4. WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO

Since getting home from our cruise, we've been laying low around the house and wrapping up some projects around the house.  

5. WHAT I'M DREADING

Honestly, not much.  Work has been my most overwhelming part of life lately, but I don't even dread that.  

6. WHAT I'M WORKING ON

Last weekend I worked on a baby quilt for my friend and this week I am working on a knitted blanket.  I have been having so much fun knitting and sewing projects and look forward to my time crafting when I have a few spare minutes.  I also am using my leftover fabric to make a tote bag and zipper pouch so that no fabric goes to waste and I don't have to store extras in my house.  

7. WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT 

I have been shopping for our deck and I'm so excited.  We had a deck added to our house in October last year and while it wasn't too bad out in October/November, we just did not have a lot of furniture that was worth putting out prior to the weather turning cold.  I am excited because we have purchased quite a few things for the deck and I am ready to get out there and really use the space. 

8. WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING

I mentioned this in yesterday's blog post, but so many fun shows have come out recently so we've been watching those.  "How I Met Your Father", "The Mandalorian", "Ted Lasso", etc.  I keep trying to push myself to read more and I consistently don't so I am trying to find alternatives to books (like Audible) so I can still consume books but not have to sit still for hours to read. 

9. WHAT I'M LISTENING TO

I've been watching a lot of streams on Twitch lately, so I would say that I am listening to those most of the time (when I'm not sitting there watching it directly).  I never thought I'd be a big Twitch person, but I've been really enjoying it lately. 

10. WHAT I'M WEARING

Rather standard, but I have been wearing leggings and t-shirts most of the time.  My go to leggings are these leggings from Kohl's and the t-shirts or crew necks I get while traveling.  If I'm feeling extra special I'll throw on dressier pants and a crew neck.  But in general, I dress fairly casual throughout the week. 

11. WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND

The only plans I have on the agenda this weekend is a St. Patrick's Day brunch with my girlfriends.  Everyone will come over and we will potluck brunch it up.  I love this tradition we have started and look forward to seeing the girls when we get together. 

12. WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH

Justin and I are heading to Philadelphia for a keyboard meetup and I am excited to do a quick weekend getaway with him.  Right now I am planning to do a fun touristy things, but the main focus will be just spending time together and meeting more people that share the same keyboard passion as Justin. 

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.
