Gardening in High Heels

cultivate a beautiful life

Sunday Lately, 53

Sunday Lately is a weekly link up brought to you by the Blogger Tribe. Link up and see what's been happening lately!Sunday Lately is a weekly linkup hosted by the Blogger Tribe (which is being fearlessly lead by Meghan, Nicole, Katy, and myself). We e-hang out every Sunday, sharing a small glimpse into the last week of life in our own worlds. We’d love if you could join us!
This week’s themes: Creating, Finding, Switching, Forgetting, Craving.

Creating

Awkward: I pretty much blew my life up at the end of 2015. I was lazy, complacent, drinking too much, forgetting to check in with myself to find out if I was okay with the choices I was making (surprise: I wasn’t). So now that I tore myself down…

Awesome: …I get to build back up. Create new things in 2016. My word is RADIANT this year and damnit I’m going to sparkle if it kills me (no ingesting of glitter, though. That shit really will kill you.)

Finding

Awkward: I came home last night to hear scratching noises above my head in the living room. Fast forward to 5:30 am this morning and I was woken up by the same scratching noises. I felt a little like Leslie Knope. Except their part of town appears to be my bedroom.

Leslie Knope raccoon quote. Leslie is the best.

Awesome: I’m finally figuring out how I want to use my Happy Planner. I would LOVE to be one of those people who decorates it all pretty and whatnot, but then where do you write? I use a planner to plan, yknow?

Switching

Awkward: It’s always awkward for me to switch years. I haven’t really ever placed much stock in a shiny new me the second the clock strikes 12. Let’s be real here, I’m gonna be the same sarcastic ass I was at 12:01 that I was at 11:59. So it feels disingenuous to say I’m going to flip to an entirely new mindset the minute it’s a new year.

Awesome: I do have some pretty awesome goals, though, so I have to switch my mindset if I want them to happen. I want to bust out of my jeans-and-t-shirt/stale-routine kinda way I’ve been going. I did officially register the domain for the fry blog that I want to do, so that’s step 1.

Forgetting

Awkward: To write anything until it’s almost noon the first day that I’m a part of the Blogger Tribe Sunday Lately linkup. Whoops.

Awesome: I went to a Pens game last night and I forgot how great it is when we win. Should that be in the Awesome or Awkward category…?

Craving

Awkward & Awesome: Now that I’ve talked about Leslie Knope, I want waffles. Oh you beautiful sunfish, why do you have to be so addictive?


  • Mel

    Here’s to a new year! I feel the same awkwardness about making some kind of instantaneous switch once midnight strikes. In fact, I’ve already messed up on one of my resolutions TWICE (but at least I’m even more aware of how much I need to change said behavior). In any event, WORD girl, WORD. <3

    • Amen! <3

      It is bananas how intense some people get about it. At least you're recognizing the behavior more, which is a great step to actually making a new habit stick.

  • Yay for your first hosting of SL! I love the word radiant. I think you’re going to kick ass at being radiant. And I also love the multiple Leslie Knope references. How do people go through life without trying to be just like her?

    • Yay! And thank you – I’m going to make being radiant my bitch this year. Does that even make sense? Haha. I’ve been on a Parks and Rec kick. They have seasons 1-6 on Netflix but my cable provider wants to charge me to watch season 7 via OnDemand. Whaaaaat?

  • I sincerely hope that you don’t have raccoons in your house. We have bats that we’ve been trying to get rid of for two years now. We’ve nearly given up.

    • I sincerely hope you can rid yourself of the bats in the belfry! That sounds like a terrible problem. The good news is that the scratching seems to have subsided. #knockonwood

  • The Musk Ox one is the best. THANK YOU for sharing that with me!! That made my day 🙂

  • ANGELICA WE MISS YOU! Love, Meghan

Let’s Play
