Sunday Lately, 106

January 12, 2017

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 fearlessly led by Katy (Wild and Wanderful) and myself. We e-hangout every Sunday, sharing a small glimpse into the past week of life in our own worlds. We’d love if you could join us!

This week’s themes: Redoing, Making, Choosing, Concentrating, Appreciating.

One of these days, I’ll get the hang of the whole “Sunday” aspect to this thing….

Redoing

Thankfully, there isn’t much that I feel like I’m redoing lately. I am remaking my business cards with my new Twitter handle, though. Oh shoot, that should go into the next topic.

Making

So I’m not sure if you heard, but I’m making business cards with my new Twitter handle. It took me forever, but I finally narrowed down the handle I wanted to use to a few options and I just say down and chose the one I wanted, no thinking, just typed something that came to mind. Wait a minute..I could have used that for “Choosing.”

Choosing

It took so much back and forth to pick a new Twitter handle. I didn’t want to replace the blog-specific one I had (@GardeningInHH) but I wanted to have one for AngelicaRoss.co without having yet another Twitter account to keep track of. So I decided to have one handle for all things writing. I picked @AngelicaRossPGH, not the most original, but it’s easy-ish to remember.

I’ll still concentrate on tweeting about cultivating a beautiful life, but with more focus on helping small business babes and bloggers get found and grow. It’ll combine what I’d write about for a lifestyle blog and a content marketing business. I think it’ll work. Hang on…concentrating…I’ve seen that somewhere…

Concentrating

Crap. I did it again.

Appreciating

I don’t know about you, but I appreciate my sense of humor. And I appreciate my Blogger Tribe girls for bearing with me while I think Thursday is now Sunday!

Sunday Lately, 82

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!

Gorgeous flowers in a garden in Colonial Williamsburg.

Colonial Williamsburg has the best flower gardens. There were marbled and spotted cockscomb and I’ve only ever seen solid colors!

Doing

I did a lot of driving this week. There were meetings and events and such and then I drove all the way to Virginia to see my mom. It’s a long drive, so I like to put on podcasts (usually that’s when I listen to Nicole Antoinette’s podcast, which is fantastically insightful if not a little long) and at least it feels like someone else is there talking to me so I don’t zone out.

Appreciating

I’m very much appreciating social media right now. I got a second forward helix piercing (it’s like the picture below, but now I have two). I went to Six16 in Lawrenceville and had the best experience. No pain, no redness, looked wonderful. Last night, I noticed it was a little swollen. This morning, it’s gone. I can’t see it. Not like it’s so swollen, I can’t see it, but it isn’t there. I can feel it, but I can’t see it. So thankfully I can DM a picture to Nick, the awesome dude who runs the place and be like, “WTF do I do??”

Thanks to @caitlinwalker11 for the rec, I stopped at @six16piercing to change my forward helix ring and I love it. Much better than the 90s hoop that was in it.

Designing

Finally, I think I’m getting around to making some shirts I purchased from Patterns for Pirates (cough) last year. I can’t wait to see how much of my sewing skills I still have.

Humming

Last night, we went to an organ recital – just about an hour of organ music, which is oddly nice. I’ve been to these in Williamsburg before and it almost always puts me to sleep. Last night, though, was a little more lively, which was a nice change, and a few runs are still stuck in my head.

Expecting

I’m not sure what to expect. I expect this week will be busy. There.

Sunday Lately, 60

February 21, 2016

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: Completing, Visiting, Repeating, Writing, Scheduling

 

Completing

Awkward: I’m wrapping up the time in my house. Like I mentioned last week, I don’t have to move out when my mom and stepfather moves back in, but it’s a small house and it doesn’t have rubber walls. Makes me sad to move twice in the space of a year.

Awesome: This will give me a chance to tackle some organizational things I guess!

Visiting

Awkward: I was in the hospital on Friday, so I guess you could say I was visiting the hospital this week. I’m fine, I just have problems that stemmed from that sinus infection I had at the beginning of the month. I did get to learn some fun baseball facts while I was there.

Awesome: I had a great mastermind session with a couple of friends yesterday. I volunteered my house before I knew I’d be moving and before I knew I had vertigo and couldn’t drive and it all kinda worked out. So they visited me. It was awesome.

Repeating

Awkward: Banging my head against the wall. Ugh I don’t want to move, and again, I’m not getting kicked out, but I either pack up all of my stuff, pay to store it, and live in my old, tiny bedroom that’s still painted purple from middle school or pack it up and have a little more space to myself. I’ll stop sounding like a broken record soon.

Awesome: To-do lists. I write lists when I get worked up.

Writing

Awkward: See above. Stress writing lists.

Awesome: #100DaysBlogging is a challenge that Emily Levenson came up with – writing something (anything) for 100 days in a row. Today is Day 6 for me. I’m trying to let go of judgement and needed a special topic and just write.

Scheduling

Awkward: I should get my tonsils removed, so I have to schedule the surgery soon. Yay for me.

Awesome: Marissa and Kristin and I got together on Monday just to catch up. No blog talk. It was fantastic to have a break. This new food pyramid is something that Kristin put together that we’d like to submit to the FDA.

This week’s themes: Doing, Appreciating, Designing, Humming, Expecting

 

This is the post in which I talk about being sick. Because I can’t think about much else. And it’s really short because looking at a computer is giving me a killer headache. I get whiny when I’m sick. Sorry guys.

Doing

I have been knocked out with a nasty cold. I haven’t been doing anything that I haven’t already agreed to doing. And even that is a struggle. Being sick sucks.

Why is the rum Kleenex gone?

Empty Kleenex Box

Appreciating

Kleenex and Sudafed and Advil. I usually don’t like taking anything when I’m sick and just let it ride, but I don’t think I would be functioning if it wasn’t for decongestant.

Designing

I’m starting up a fry blog (that I’ve been talking about for a while) and I have to get the design going. And test fries. And write about. What a hard life it will be.

Humming

30 Rock theme song.

Expecting

This cold to go away soon. I hope. Dear Lord, please let it go away soon.

This week’s themes: Updating, Remembering, Needing, Wearing, Being

 

Updating

Awkward: I killed most of my houseplants because I left them outside too long and they got frostbitten. I went to Lowes to replace them and couldn’t find any. Sad face.

Awesome: I did find some other air purifying plants and a poor orphaned clearance succulent for $1.00. They’re all repotted along with some surviving houseplants I’m trying to rehab and doing well.

Baby succulent from Lowes clearance section. It is possible to rehab a plant!

Remembering

Awkward: I don’t think I have anything awkward to remember today. Yay!

Awesome: How awesome it is to has fresh blueberry muffins in the morning. I love blueberry muffins. I used this fantastic recipe from Averie Cooks. It’s a skinny recipe so it isn’t as crumbly and sweet as a traditional bakery blueberry muffin, but it still tastes great.

Needing

Awkward: I still have my Christmas decorations up. And they really need to come down. But it’s such a pain in the ass. I have to get the boxes out. I have to put things in the boxes, I have to try to puzzle-piece them back inside their bigger storage box. I’d rather just watch Netflix.

Awesome: I rearranged some art and made some new things to use on my gallery wall sections. If you need to refresh a space, try moving around art.

Wearing

Awkward: The weather on Saturday was bananas-level warm. I started out with my winter coat and scarf and by the end of my errand session, it was all off. It was freezing just the day before. What is happening with this weather??

Awesome: I didn’t need to bundle up in a heavy winter coat, so I call that a win.

Being

Awkward & Awesome – that’s my answer. I’m being awkward and awesome.
