What's Up Wednesday - August 2018

What We're Eating This Week

I wish I could tell you I was joking...
but I am SO strangely addicted to these sunflower seeds.
They are AMAZING!!!!!
They have nutritional yeast on them giving that cheesy flavor... & they are just the yummiest.
I end up buying 2 bags at a time now on Amazon... so $20.00 worth of sunflower seeds.
It's becoming an issue.

What I'm Reminiscing About
Dad.
This is probably going to be the answer to this question for quite a long time.
... still have days that I can't believe my daddy is gone.
It's all just so unreal.

What I'm Loving



Hoopla!!!
I saw something with one of my library book stops but didnt give it any mind
... until I really dug into it & WOW!!!!
I am loving it!
Most libraries participate in it - but you just need your library card & log in info & you can get all sorts of e-books, audiobooks, music & movies - all for free.
I've been all about the audiobooks since I can download the app & listen to them on my phone. It's been nice to do on my drives to & from work & during draggy parts of my day or for walks at lunch.
I've downloaded it on my Kindle Fire as well to read some e-books.
Check & see if your library offers it!

What We've Been Up To
Surviving.
Surviving work.... the summer mowing.... a 18 year old blind dog who is hanging by a string.... a puppy that is still tearing everything up he can...handling new routines...pain & health issues.
Surviving.

What I'm Dreading
I'm going to a new specialist surgeon next week to check out my abscess issues.
Things still aren't fully healed... & I'm HORRIFIED of more surgeries
& even more HORRIFIED of another reoccurring abscess.
I'm hoping the surgeon will check me out & give me straight answers that gives me some sort of path of healing with the option of surgery being the final thought.

What I'm Working On
Trying to work on myself.
I have been trying this week to experiment on working out in the morning.
I'm NOT a morning person when it comes to exercising.... but I just dont have time anymore at night when I get off work. There's always something that has to be done & exercise gets pushed to the side. So I'm trying to see what its like to get up even EARLIER that 5:15am to get in a sweat fest before I head into work.
Wish me luck.

What I'm Excited About
All things FALL!!!!!!!
Break out the pumpkin decorations!!!!!

What I'm Watching / Reading
Totally jumped on the bandwagon & watched the Netflix movie, To All the Boys I've Loved Before - mainly because I loved the whole series of books. Wonder if they'll make the other books now with the success it got.



Also, my current Read

What I'm Listening To

Reckless Love by Cory Asbury

What I'm Wearing
Just a lot of swing dresses & sun dresses still.
I'll even wear them on the weekend - just comfy.
Give me dresses & sandals all summer long.

What I'm doing this Weekend

Not even sure.
I may have to work ... plus, I know we need to make a cemetery trip to my dad & put new flowers out.  Plus, my house is a DISASTER & I really need to tackle some areas of the house.
I'm not sure what the weekend holds. I just know it will involve church & hopefully some reading and/or knitting somewhere tucked in.

What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month

We're kicking off a small group series with our HSM kiddos every Wednesday evening.
I'm looking so forward to that time to connect deeper with one another & to really get into God's Word.  We'll spend the first hour with all the 9th graders... boys included (cue all the giggles) ... & then the last hour, we dig into the study we are doing.  Should be interesting.
& should be really tiring. That means I'll be getting home anywhere from 9:30 - 10pm on Wednesday's.  Lord give me strength - especially for those Thursday morning workouts.
