What's Up Wednesday! April 2016
2 Days Until The Big Reveal!!!
Did you see the new About Me section to the right?! We are getting close! After Friday it will link to an about me page listed at the top of the page!
I woke up this morning and was like… what should I blog about today!? And then when I got to work I realized it was the last Wednesday of the Month.. what?! How in the world is April already almost over!? And since it is the last Wednesday of the month… you know that means… What’s Up Wednesday!
This means I am linking up with The Larson Lingo, Mix & Match Family and Pinterest (now Sheaffer) Told Me To to share what's new with me! To read my past What's Up Wednesday's posts…
What we’re eating this week…
Carbs. And probably more carbs. I made a massive Lasagna on Sunday for a party and we have been eating the leftovers since! We finished it off last night and I completely forgot that fact and didn’t defrost any meat for tonight’s dinner… whoops! Usually on the nights that happens we end up eating spaghetti and meatballs…. So yea… more carbs.
What I’m reminiscing about …
All things beach! The second the weather got nice, I got serious beach cravings. Give me sand and salt water any day!
What I’m loving…
Speaking of water… I loveee our apartment pool! They opened it last weekend and that is where I spent a decent amount of my weekend. Bring on the freckles!
What we’ve been up to…
Decorating the new apartment! We have been here for about a month now and are completely settled in! All that is left to do is fill up the awkward empty wall space.
The two major projects...
…above our living room TV
…and the large open wall in the dining room
For the living room area my boyfriend is working on a large canvas painting. The idea is abstract flowers! This is the progress so far…
For the dining room we are filling the space with black and white photos. We have two back and white pictures of Yosemite already hanging up and we have 4 more from our Europe backpacking trip that still need to be framed! We need to order some white mattes before they can go up! To be continued…
What I’m dreading…
I have procrastinated this long enough… it is finally time for me to transfer my doctor, dentist and eye care to Louisiana. I have managed to hold on to my Massachusetts docs long enough… but since I have been in Louisiana 2.5 years now… it’s time. I keep getting these mini panic attacks that I’ll have a tooth ache or need a prescription and I’ll have to fly to Massachusetts to get it…sigh. I’ve had Louisiana insurance since I moved here… I just have procrastinated transferring everything! It sort of feels like those are my last ties to MA and once I cut them I will truly be a LA resident…boo.
What I’m working on…
Hello blog updates! As you guys know this Friday is the big 100th post and also my big reveal! I will no longer be going by the pen name WC, but by my real name! This also means a blog design re-vamp! So far the color scheme, heading and about me section to the right are new! More subtle changes to come!
What I’m excited about…
Is it weird if I say getting paid? I get paid the last working day of the month and that pay schedule is sooo difficult sometimes! You pay all you bills the first of the month and then you have an idea of how much you can spend/save for the remainder of the month! But by this time of the month I am always pushing it close to my budget… two more days two more days!
What I am watching/reading…
First off for watching: I get my action and adventure from Game of Thrones, my drama from Grey’s Anatomy and my reality TV from Survivor. I’ve got all of my TV emotions covered!
For reading I am on the third book of the Matched Series titled Reached. I’ll blog about them when I finish (probably a post next week)
What I’m listening to…
Same ole same ole! My morning car commute: Johnjay & Rich Morning Show. During work: TED Talks, This American Life or Stuff You Should Know Podcasts.
What I’m wearing…
Spring dresses! This time of year in Louisiana the weather is justtt right. Not too hot, not too cold and no crazy humidity yet! I have been trying to make the effort to wear dresses to work and on the weekends before it gets too hot for the effort! I wish I had some pictures to share!!
What I’m doing this weekend…
Not crazy plans yet! My boyfriend and I like to do a really long walk on the weekends (5 miles or so) so we will probably have one of those squeezed in! Maybe some more pool time! =)
What I’m looking forward to next month…
Next month is May which means Memorial Day! Since I do not get that day off, I have already put in my request for the long weekend! This 3-day weekend could go one of two very different ways.
Option 1: My dad might be coming to Louisiana to visit. He is a last-minute planner so I probably won’t know if he is coming or not for a couple more weeks.
Option 2: My boyfriend and I get away and spend a night at a beach in Pensacola.
Both options will be fun! Either way I’m mentally pretending that that 3-day weekend is a “vacation” so I’m really looking forward to it… whatever we end up doing!
What else is new…
My sister texted me this morning that she wants to plan a sister vacation sometime next year. Anything from Europe to the Caribbean... we are open to ideas! If you have any great/favorite vacation spots that are fair in terms of price… please share!!
Annnnd a bunny picture to close out todays post! King of the couch!
