Sunday Lately, 34

August 23, 2015

This week, a big truck came and took all 95% of my father’s furniture to his new apartment.  There’s still a little more to do, mostly cleaning, in the next two weeks before closing.

I also took my first Bodhi Suspension class this week at Dragonfly Pilates.  It was the most fun I’ve ever had working out.  It kicked my ass, but it was a great time.  It didn’t feel like 45-60 minutes went by.

And finally, my first #KatyMade Sub Box arrived!  It’s full off coffee goodness and the print is basically me and everything I stand for.  (September boxes are all about fangirling out, so get in on this action, like, now.)

Handmade Escapade KatyMade sub box for August is full of awesome coffee goodies!

Updating

I’ve been updating my house.  Spray painting furniture, building crap from IKEA, hanging pictures.  The walls in my house are pure plaster, so you need a drill and a big hatchet to break through.  It takes a while to get a picture hung.  My Pilates muscles will come in handy though.

Spray paint blunders

Speaking of updating, I re-wired these lamps with Jonathan’s help last night.  I finally feel confident to leave them plugged in when I’m not in the house.  I love actually being able to use them.

Reminding

It’s been a hard couple of weeks.  It helps to remind myself that it all comes to an end at some point.  As humans, we all try very hard to avoid discomfort, but sometimes it can’t be avoided.

Needing

Dude, I need a break from my break.  I took two days off last week to help my dad and I slept like a rock 2 out of the 4 nights I was off.  Hard work does a body good.

Wearing

Light jeans and tank tops.  It’s my summer uniform.  It also hasn’t been crazy-hot here with the exception of a few days, so I haven’t even turned my air conditioning on this summer.  It is glorious on my electricity bill.

Being

Quiet for the morning.  It’s a great feeling.  I suggest you try it some time soon.

    I think I like the idea of having gold palms. Can we make that a new fashion trend? 🙂

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Yes please! It’s like Golden Face from Michael’s terrible screen play (The Office has my heart) but chicer and less pore clogging.

  • Nicole White

    I’ve been building crap from ikea this week too! Haha. It’s easier with wine.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Hahaha yes! After a point you say, well I think a beer is in order right now, and the directions suddenly make a lot more sense. Tricky, Ikea, very tricky.

  • Laura Welch

    Oh my gosh your goody box from Katy is awesome! Signing up for September! (aaaannnd I really need to stop spending money) hahaha

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      YAY!!! Girl, Labor Day sales are going to kill me this weekend, so I feel you.

  • Meghan Hayes

    Obviously I need to move further north since you haven’t even used your a/c this summer! We’ve been hitting 99 and 100 easy for these past two months.

    I’m so excited that you’re finally getting to use your lamps. Doesn’t it feel like such an accomplishment?!

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      It’s totally a fantastic feeling! I love getting to put something to use instead of just letting them sit there and look pretty.

      And yes, come close to meeee (and Katy!) I mean, I kinda sucked it up on days when the AC should have been on…but I’m cheap.
