Sunday Lately, 54

January 10, 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: 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.

    I am surprised with myself that my Christmas stuff is actually put away! This is only because my 5 year old’s big Christmas present (Desk and shelf) goes right in the spot we had the Christmas tree. She was not going to let us get away with not getting it setup so the tree had to go. I usually target to have it down by the end of Jan. One year I was rushing to take it down before Valentines day *shame*

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      I’m so glad I’m not the only tree-slacker! It’s just so pretty! I just hate the process of putting everything away. It’s a pain. At least you have perks of insistent children: decorations are put away in a reasonable time. Haha

  • Meghan Hayes

    Best answer ever for the “being” prompt. One of these days I’m going to need to try the awkward and awesome prompts like you do. It’s a fun way to break it up. You have such a green thumb. I need for you to come to Georgia and take care of my plants.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Haha thank, Meghan! It’s really fun to challenge yourself to write about the good and the bad that happened. And I will so take care of your plants, especially if it means I can get out of the cold for a while!

    Don’t feel badly about Christmas decorations! We just took ours down this week. I’m so glad to have the house back. Awkward & awesome is rather awesome!

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      I’m glad you like the Awkward and Awesome approach! And I’m really glad that most people still had their decorations up until this weekend too. Now I don’t feel so bad. Thanks for reading 🙂

  • Mel

    I seriously need some of your green thumb. I am absolutely AWFUL with plants (although I am currently growing some cat grass lol).

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      See, you’re getting a green thumb! I don’t know how green mine is since I managed to murder my plants, but hopefully these new ones don’t know that…..shhh… 🙂

    I love (love, love, LOVE) the poor unloved plants section at Lowes. I’m always stalking it for finds. Most of my houseplants die every spring when I become obessed with outdoor gardening and forget about my poor indoor plants.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Usually my houseplants are pretty solid, but I feel so bad that I left them outside too long this fall/winter haha. This is the first time I heard about the orphan plant section at Lowes. What have you found there?

  • Katy McKinley

    The clearance section at Lowes is always such a winner for us! Glad you experienced some good from there too. We finally just took our tree down and are day-by-day cleaning up the needles from it. Why do I love real trees so much? They’re amazing when they’re up and torture for the next 11 months of trying to remove the needles!

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Christmas trees: the decoration that keeps on decorating.

      My clearance succulent is going strong but the regular price plants that I bought aren’t! What???

  • Laura @ Life with Lolo

    I got about half way through the Christmas stuff this weekend and then put the remaining boxes and stuff in the extra bedroom to be dealt with later. Netflix is a way better option!

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Netflix is a MUCH better option! I’m so glad I’m not the only lazy ass around. I finally got everything put away last night…and then I realized I left some wine glasses on my bar. Ugh.

  • Melissa-Rebel & Malice

    I still have some decorations to remove. At least the big ones and the tree are gone.
    Sad about your plants. I need to start my herbs again. I am set and determined to have plants this year.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Ooh, herbs are the best. If you grow nothing else, fresh herbs make everything else store-bought taste better.
