What's Up Wednesday {08.30.23}

                 

Welcome to another round of What's Up Wednesday Post! It's been a few months since I did my last round of What's Up Wednesday and I was missing it so I thought why not do it again today? What's Up Wednesday focuses on a bunch of random set topics and is one I try to do every month. 

1. WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK
Monday: Takeout
Tuesday: Pizza
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Dinner in Venice Beach
Friday: Dinner out

2. WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT
My friend and I were talking about how long we've been friends for and determined that we have been friends for over 21 years now.  So of course while I'm visiting her this weekend we will be celebrating our friendship's 21st birthday.  It's kind of wild to think back over 21 years of friendship, but I am so grateful that we're still connected even after all this time. 

3. WHAT I'M LOVING 
We watched the show Survival of the Thickest on Netflix and really enjoyed the show.  So funny and relatable - I really hope they make a second season because it was that good. 

4. WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO
We've been getting ready to head to California for the long weekend and I am so excited.  Work has been very crazy lately so it will be nice to get away for a few days and not have to worry about anything but spending time with friends and family. 

5. WHAT I'M DREADING
Unfortunately, I've been dreading work a lot lately. We have had a lot of big things happening which has been eating most of my time.  I'm thinking the trip this weekend will help with some of the burnout but ultimately need to figure out how to balance work more. 

6. WHAT I'M WORKING ON
I've been putting together these little outfit inspos from Amazon and have been having so much fun doing that.  I'd really like to do it more often and think it could be fun to do more regular posts.  If you click on the images below you can see how you could shop if you wanted.  I'm also working on creating a small business for myself, but have been dragging my feet and really should just bit the bullet. 




7. WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT 
I ordered some cute outfits for the trip this weekend and am waiting for them to arrive.  I am planning to take mostly dresses with me, but wanted a few sets to take that could be cute and comfortable for exploring. 

8. WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING
I mentioned it above, but we watched "Survival of the Thickest" on Netflix and really enjoyed the first season.  I've also been watching "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu.  

As far as books go, I'm still trying to finish Happy Place by Emily Henry.  I really loved her other books and have been loving this one too, just feel like I don't have enough time to read (which isn't true).

9. WHAT I'M LISTENING TO
I'm still living my crime podcast best life and listening to Morbid and Crime Junkie.  I ended up adding another crime-related podcast called Suspect.  This one is interesting because they review a previous crime to determine if the person that was charged for the crimes was actually the person responsible for the crime.  If you like that type of crime, I'd highly recommend checking it out. 

10. WHAT I'M WEARING
This week I'm mostly wearing clothes that I'm not planning to take with me this weekend.  This includes t-shirts, capris and pajama pants.  

11. WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND
Um, hello long weekend in California! Can't wait to go out there and be by the beach and spend time with family and friends. 

12. WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH
September always brings so much fun and this year will be no different.  The biggest thing I'm looking forward to is the annual fort sleepover.  We're even doing a color-themed night where we're wearing a color and all our snacks and drinks have to match that color too.  It will be so fun. 

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.
