What's Up...Monday!

 


            It has been a while since I had blogger’s block, but it’s happening in full force today. Whenever that does happen, I figure it’s a sign that I should do something fun and lighthearted, so I decided to throw back something I’ve not written for a while: What’s Up Wednesday. On a Monday. 😊

            So here is a little bit of fun randomness for you on this Monday morning!

What we ate last week:

            I can’t remember each of the days, but I know one night, Ryan grilled tilapia, and it was so delicious. It’s one of the things that I never liked until this past year, and now we have it once or twice a month. (I only like it grilled, I’ve also learned.)

            We also went on a date night Friday night. One of our friends gifted us some date night money, so we headed to Red Robin. We can’t even remember the last time we were there! Ryan got the new queso burger and said it was REALLY good.

            And yesterday we had pulled pork in the slow cooker. We haven’t had that forever either. SO good.

What I’m reminiscing about:

            Our vacation this summer! I’m almost done with our scrapbook, so I’ve been enjoying the return to those memories. (You remember the whitewater rafting, right?)

What I’m loving:

            Sunsets! Goodness, they’ve been gorgeous this month.

            Produce from the garden. It’s in full force right now, so we are eating something from out there almost every meal!

            Writing for a half hour every day. I’ll talk more about this at the end of the month when I do my goal recap, but it is a big highlight of the month.

            Puppy pictures. My friend Allison’s dog just had puppies, and she’s been posting their adventures. I can’t handle the cuteness! I guess that also makes me reminisce about when Lexi was such a little peanut. 

            Studying the book of Matthew. I’m halfway through, and I’ve taken a TON of notes.

What I’m dreading:

            The time change. I know it’s not the bad one, but I still don’t like the change at all. And yes, I am dreading it early. I like to pre-dread that one.

            I can’t think of anything else, and I think that might be good!

What I’m excited about:

            Figuring out our anniversary celebration. It’s not decided yet, but honestly sometimes being in that anticipation mode is good enough!

            Women’s conference! I spoke at it last year and am attending it this year. My friend is the speaker this year, and I am excited to hear her.


What I’m watching/reading:

            We are making our way through the seasons of Bull, so we watch an episode of that almost every day. I’ve been notified that football season is almost here. 😊

            Reading LOTS of things. But there will be a whole post forthcoming on that, so I won’t make you sit through it twice.

            I’ve also been watching a lot of home tours on YouTube. They’re just fun lunchtime watching material.

What I’m listening to:

            Psalm 119 set to music. I love it.

What I’m wearing:

            Well, you get to see that every Saturday, so no need to belabor that point!

What I’m doing this weekend:

            The aforementioned women’s conference is this weekend!

What I’m looking forward to next month:

            I honestly have not had the chance to even look at next month. Been busy trying not to drop the ball on this one!

 

Alrightie! Thanks for letting me be frivolous today. My brain thanks you!
