What's Up Wednesday- August Edition! (On a Friday)


So I started writing this post on Monday with intentions of posting it ON TIME, but then Weds was crazy, and by Thursday I was really sick. So here I am crawling to the finish line on Friday and finally posting this. (Hopefully)

What I'm Eating This Week: Well, so far it's been random things here and there, as I haven't felt great. But Weds I am going out to eat with Audra at Firehouse Subs! So excited! I LOVE that place! Friday I grilled Hamburgers and Made some Creamy Parmesan Pasta Salad. And ROCKED the Apron if I do say so myself!

What I'm Reminiscing About: I have been thinking a lot about my childhood fun with my cousins Nick and Nate lately. After the tragedy that struck our family, it has brought back a lot of memories. The Go Fund Me is still up and they haven't met their goal, so if you feel led to donate you can do so HERE.

What I'm Loving: My New Dollar General Softer than Soft Fake Denim Leggings. Sweet mercy they are SO comfy!! I will definitely be getting another pair, if not two more! Also loving being able to break out my new leopard ballet flats. Its not really cool here yet, but I am really getting tired of my summer clothes, so I am desperate to wear something different!



What I've been up to: Trying to fight off whatever sickness I've had. Not succeeding in fighting off said sickness. After I got done teaching Today (Friday) I have been going crazy cleaning. My house feels like a pit after not doing much cleaning throughout the week!

What I'm Dreading: My Mom brought down a ton of my old clothes she had held on to, for me to sell. I joke that I have "Charity's Clothing Emporium" in my spare room. This weekend I need to post tons of stuff on ebay.

What I'm working on: Well I'm working on cleaning and organizing my house. During this I also decided to get out my tub of Fall Decorations. Because it's Sept 2, and it was "cool" enough for me to wear jeggings so of course there must be pumpkins and leaves out! I'm also in the midst of planning for my Studio's Christmas Recital. We have our date and I'm working on assigning students their books. I already have two students who have their songs picked out!! I am patting myself on the back, because that is huge!

What I'm excited about: I have decided I need some more fall decorations :) And I'm excited about purchasing some new things!! And really just decorating for a new season. I"m all about seasonal decorations!!

What I'm Watching/Reading: I'm really ready for Fall TV. I ran out of decent shows to binge watch, so I've been re watching "The Glades" but I'm on the last season now. I need some new tv!! I have been reading like crazy though, tons of Dee Henderson, Diann Mills, Catherine Coulter. Give me allll the mysteries!! I have a new book by Lexi Eddings to read and review, so I'm excited about checking out a new author! Stay tuned for the review!

What I'm listening to: Right now I'm listening to the fan, my loud fridge running, and the noises from outside because it's finally nice enough for me to open my windows! CAN I GET AN AMEN??!!! I LOVE having my windows open, and also love saving on my heating/cooling bills. So nice to have some fresh air!

What I'm Wearing: I'm trying to remember what I wore this week....... I can't remember Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday I wore shorts and a flutter sleeved top from ON. Thursday, Jammies, and today I have on my super soft DG Jeggings, Walmart Leopard print flats and a baby blue sleeveless top, which I got several compliments on!

What I'm doing this weekend: Still not sure! It's Labor Day weekend so I'm stoked for a long weekend and some time off! 

What I'm looking forward to next month: I am getting so excited to see my two nephews that will be visiting soon!! I can't wait to hug and kiss them! Well, my oldest nephew at least, the little one is still unsure. Perhaps I can bribe him with going outdoors, one of his favorite things to do!

What Else is New: Um... Nothing?

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
