Sunday Lately, 45

November 8, 2015

I finally had nitro coffee at Allegheny Coffee and Tea this week. I went for a pumpkin stout. It’s refreshing and I love it. And you should try nitro coffee if you should happen to find it. Amazing.

Completing

Awesome: Lists. I am making a ton of lists to keep me organized before I break and drive to Virginia for Thanksgiving. I have everything from “pick up chipped ham” to “make sure someone gets the mail.” And I’m really hoping I can get Christmas presents purchased and wrapped so I can bring them with me.

Awkward: I’m writing this and listening to an indie alt playlist on Spotify and it’s making me irrationally angry. I feel like such an angsty teen and it’s weird.

Visiting

Awesome: I’ll be visiting my mom in a few weeks, hence the list making. I can’t wait for 6 uninterrupted hours in the car to listen to podcasts and new music. And not answer emails for a week. And to see her, of course.

Awkward: I was helping at the door for Propelle’s anniversary party and I was telling someone about this awesome giveaway they were doing and it turns out I was telling the artist all about her wonderful piece that was up for grabs. Because I’m awkward like that.

Repeating

Awesome & Awkward: Coheed and Cambria’s “You Got Spirit, Kid.” I can’t help it. I think it’s responsible for the “I’m mad but I don’t know why..” feeling that’s going on right now. So many teen memories.

Applauding

Awesome: Propelle’s 4th anniversary!

No awkward applause here!

Scheduling

Awesome: Coffee dates with some awesome Pittsburgh ladies I’m looking forward to getting to know better. And emails with Boomerang. I’m loving Boomerang.

Awkward: Last year around this time, I did a doctor blitz where I scheduled a bunch of appointments on the same day to get them in before the end of the year for insurance and now I have to do it again. I’ve spent enough time in hospitals these past few years, I should have an honorary degree. Can’t I just tell myself I’m fine?

Sunday Lately, 44

November 1, 2015

I don’t know what happened, guys. I knew Sunday Lately was happening last week but I was stuck in a Parenthood marathon on Netflix and I just couldn’t tear myself away. Man that show is intense. I can only imagine how it would be if it were on HBO or something.

This week, I’m going to try something a little different. A while ago, I used to do weekly recaps called Awkward & Awesome (inspired by Sydney of The Daybook). And I loved it because, let’s face it, most days are sprinkled with both. So we’re going to try that.

Updating

Awesome: I bought papier mache pumpkins at JoAnns for 50% off the other day and I couldn’t resist busting out the spray paint and taking a crafting hour yesterday. I figured one could be gold, one could be ombre purple.

Spray paint paper pumpkins

Awkward: My ombre purple pumpkin. My purples weren’t quite the same; one was more lavender, one was more plum, so I tried to redo it. I painted over the whole thing only using one of the purples that I adjusted with black or white. Then I tried to sponge blend the seams together for a faded ombre. And that didn’t work. So it got covered in spray paint too.

Reminding

Awesome: My to-do list is getting crossed off. It’s a slow process, but I need a to-do list to remind me of the really important tasks that absolutely must get done. No work, no pay. No pay, no food. No food, no one wants to be around hangry Angelica. My lists are here for your safety.

Awkward: It’s November. How in the world did that happen?

Needing

Awesome: To catch up on other blogging friends and leave comments and support and all that awesome stuff. Blogging is no fun unless you have a community and people actually read what you write. Otherwise, you’re just pitching things into the void and wondering if they really make a difference.

Awkward: I haven’t been on other bloggers’ blogs in so long, I didn’t realize Katy changed up her header on her site. Bad Blogging Friend award goes to…..

Wearing

Awesome: A tutu! I made one quickly for my uncle’s Halloween party last night. It was inspired by Bobo. I’m not one for Halloween costumes anymore (even though I had some epic-awesome costumes like an old-timey radio and a bunch of grapes) so if I can make it and it isn’t too obtrusive (do you know how hard it is to trick-or-treat with a bunch of balloons sewn to your shirt?) I’m all for it.

Awkward: This week’s outfits were pretty awesome. No room for awkwardness in this closet. But just wait until I start taking pictures for Wear to Where. Then I’ll just feel awkward.

Being

I think being Awesome and Awkward pretty much sums it up today.What have you been up to lately?
