What’s Up Wednesday {September 2022}

Linking up & sharing What’s Up Wednesday with from Sheaffer & Shay!

Here we go…

1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:

Lots of beef 😁. We've had steaks, beef fajitas, hamburgers and more on our menu this week. Last night we ended up with take out due to a late night; I had tacos al pastor (pork with onions & pineapple) and M had cheese enchiladas.

2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:

Last year our family trip to the Formula 1 race in Austin. We won't make the race this fall, but it was a fun experience the last few years!

3: WHAT I’M LOVING:

We have a year around calving season and I just LOVE seeing the new babies. These two cuties were near the gate one evening when I drove in. Are they not the cutest greeting committee?

4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:

It has been a pretty quiet week around our house. M just got back from his Alaska trip so I've been doing a lot of laundry and just enjoying hearing stories from his trip. He had zero phone service and the satellite phones did not work great, so we've been catching up on everything!

5: WHAT I’M DREADING:

Nothing really!

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:

Working on a new post about mums on Counting Tomatoes.

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:

Y'all we finally have cooler temperatures in Texas. Every morning has been in the 50's and it's glorious!! Fall is in the air!

8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:

I just started The Good Wife series on Paramount +. Currently, I'm not reading anything; our library is closed for inventory. It's a bummer!

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:

Background noise someone hammering on something.

10: WHAT I’M WEARING:

I found this cute little sleeveless floral top on sale at Avara. I'll get to wear it a few more times before the weather gets too chilly.

11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

Working on my garden! I have a few weeds that need to be pulled and I need to replant the lettuce seeds that did not germinate from last time.

12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:

Catching up with some friends at a horse show M will be competing at.

13: FAVORITE AMAZON FIND THIS MONTH:

These Adidas leopard print shoes!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Friday Favorites - June 23, 2023

Here's some of my favorites from the week. #1 Whoop Band I have a couple of friends that wear a Whoop band which is pretty much a health / fitness tracker but with tons more data. I've been wearing my Whoop for about a month now and using it to improve my overall health. It's helping me see where the problems are, where improvement is needed and measures overall health. These bands are worn by a lot of pro-golfers and athletes and digging into the data can help you analyze patterns so when there's a change in your norms it gives you a heads up. Some of the pro athletes noticed their respiratory rate and heart rate variability was out of their norm several days before being tested positive for COVID. Since I'm a data nerd this band has really been a favorite lately. Here's a screen shot of one day of mine; clearing improvement is needed! #2 Margaritas If you're local to the Victoria, TX, area, you have to try the margaritas at Hacienda Restaurant in front of

Hello Monday & Day in the Life - Weekend

Linking up with Hello Monday and NJAM for a two in one post. Recapping our weekend! Friday was Matt's birthday, so as soon as I got home for work, he opened his gift and then we met some friends for dinner at Gonzales Bistro. Talk about delicious! This is the third time we've been to this new restaurant and it never disappoints. Three of us had Alaskan halibut and one had salmon. Saturday I spent more time working in the garden until it got super hot. We had a high of 92°F! I planted a few more pepper plants I picked up at HEB as well as some cucumber plants and seeds. I put up the trellis for the cucumbers and also decided to plant some luffa seeds and pole beans. Growing luffa and pole beans are new for me, so we'll see how it goes. Saturday afternoon, Matt's parents were at home, so we invited them over for birthday cake. The birthday guy requested tres leches cake and it did not disappoint! I had a local bakery make it and they did a fantastic job. Later in t

Friday Favorites July 15, 2022

It's Friday, most everyone's favorite day of the week! This week was pretty standard around our house with going to work, enjoying dinner at home each night and our in-laws even shared some bbq they made with us one evening. Here's some of my favorite things from this week! Summer Fruit Watermelons are ready in my garden and they have been such a treat to have during this hot weather. It's been over 100 degrees each day and cold watermelon from the refrigerator is so refreshing. This is the Charleston Grey watermelon variety; they are large oblong melons and very tasty! Exercise The elliptical really is a great workout and something I can do at home. I workout after dinner in the evenings and it has been too hot out to go for a walk outside. I put in my ear buds and catch up on my podcasts and enjoy the air conditioning! Podcasts One of my favorite podcasts lately is the Sorta Awesome podcast with Meg Tietz and her co-hosts Kelly and Rebekah. These ladies cover every
