What's Up Wednesday - October 26, 2022

 


What’s Up Wednesday! I’m gonna link up with Sheaffer and Shay to answer a little  about what’s going on around here.


1. What we're eating this week:

Monday - We had NY Strip Steaks, sautéed mushrooms and onions, and green beans from the garden. 

Tuesday - We had take - out from our local Mexican food restaurant. 

Wednesday - Tonight we'll have hamburger steak, zucchini and baked potatoes.

Thursday - Smoked chicken I have in the freezer with sautéed zucchini and mushrooms on the side. 

Friday - Homemade pepperoni pizza

I have not thought as far ahead as Saturday and Sunday yet. 

2. What I'm reminiscing about:

The Formula 1 race in Austin just finished last weekend and while we did not attend in person this year, we did last year. It was a fun weekend and my dad even got to come down and go to the race with us. Formula 1 has recently become super popular since there is a Netflix series about it. 


3. What I'm Loving:


The sun is just starting to rise on my way to work currently. The sunrises have been absolutely gorgeous!! 



4. What We've Been Up To:

The first part of the month we went to a horse show in the Texas panhandle! It's always nice to catch up with friends. We took vacation from work for the week to make this happen. 







This past weekend we met up with another couple for dinner at a restaurant that was new to me. They'd all been there before. Good food and drinks were had by all!

This week I treated myself to a very relaxing facial at a new to me spa. It was so relaxing!!! Plus, this spa took evening appointments which is so nice for those who can't ever seem to get a weekend appointment booked. I'll definitely go back! 

5. What I'm Dreading:

Nothing to dread! The weather has been absolutely perfect lately; low's around 50 highs around 80. It's finally fall here! 

6. What I'm Working on:

Currently working on being better at putting things in my planner! It's time to have all appointments in once place instead of a myriad of places (phone notes, Google calendar, planner, wall calendar, etc). I love routine and consistency! 





7. What I'm Excited About:

I'm getting excited about Thanksgiving!! I think we'll have a full table this year with family and I could not be happier! Finalizing my Thanksgiving menu this week and picking up the turkey today while I'm at the store. We serve a super traditional Thanksgiving meal, so turkey is a priority on the list! 

8. What I'm Watching / Reading:

I picked up a copy of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals from the library this week! I'm only a few pages in, so I'll let you know how I like it.  

9. What I'm Listening To:

My current obsession is the Darin Olein Show with his podcasts on fatal conveniences. Very interesting content and things I've never heard before. I'm learning so much! 






10. What I'm Wearing:

I actually haven't bought anything new lately, but I'm obsessed with the Zella Live in Pocket Joggers I purchased during the Nordstrom sale! They're so comfy and I love wearing them around the house in the evenings. 




11. What I'm Doing this Weekend:

What am I doing this weekend? Saturday morning I'm going to go early vote. Don't forget, it's important. We'll probably do breakfast out on Saturday and the rest of the weekend we'll relax at home. I need to clean the porch furniture to get ready for Thanksgiving guests too. 

12. What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month:

In addition to Thanksgiving excitement which you've already read about above, I'll put the Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving! Here's a peek of our tree from last year! 




13. Favorite Amazon Find:

I found this vintage looking set of bells to add to a wreath I already have! They have a wonderful muted tone as well. 


That's all I have for this What's Up Wednesday! Enjoy your week!

Friday Favorites - August 8

  Happy Friday Friends! I've done absolutely terrible at life photos lately, but I'd thought I'd share a few things I'm loving in my life right now.  #1 Baccarat Rogue Room Spray I bought this room spray for my office and it's a pretty dead ringer for this high end luxury perfume. It makes my glum office feel a little more luxe. Two sprays is all it takes and it smells good for hours. They also have a candle. I got it awhile back and they've since had to remove the word Baccarat, but this is the same product just new packaging.  #2 Spotify Playlist Also office related, but this is also a favorite in home playlist of mine. The Spanish Guitar Instrumentals is just great background music. No words, but relaxing guitar. Makes me feel like I'm a fancy resort on the shores of the Caribbean. I also put my air pods in at the office and play this. It drowns out some of the noise from the fab shop.  #3 Caroline Girvan's App (CGX) I've done two rounds of Carol...

Friday Favorites - September 12

Happy Friday Friends! It has been awhile since I've updated, but I have a few things to share.  #1 Fishing in Canada      We had a whirlwind adventure to Minnesota then to Canada! We were invited by friends living in Minnesota to join their fishing trip to Savant Lake in Ontario. We flew into MSP, spent a few days hanging out at our friend's ranch in Buffalo, MN, then we caravanned up to Savant Lake. We stayed at Cliff & Roma's Wilderness Camp. Most people go in via float plane, but we had 12 peoples so we opted to take the trail in. It's about 5 miles to get back to the camp and lake. We had two four wheelers, a CanAm and a trailer. It took about 90 minutes to get all the way back to the camp, but once we got there it was a view! The cabins are all set right on the shores of Savant Lake and the camp is ran by the best people. We fished for walleye and pike and ate our fill! We even brought some HEB tortillas to make fish tacos. Warmed those right up on the wood ...

Friday Favorites - July 25

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I have some shopping plans and we're hosting some of my husband's college friends for the weekend. We have some yummy drinks and foods planned for the weekend.  #1 Birthdays & Spa Days We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday! We had a party for her to celebrate on Sunday then Monday we went to the Lake Austin Spa. Voted by Conde Nast as the #1 spa destination in the US. It didn't disappoint! We had massages and facials and spent time lounging by the pool.  #2 Desserts Some of y'all know I have a more professional blog. I added a new recipe over there for The Best Vanilla Whoopie Pies with Buttercream Filling ! So yummy! We've been eating on these throughout the week, but they are HUGE so we generally split one.  #3 A New Minimalist Purse I've been having such should pain and finally gave in that it was in fact my heavy, very large purse I'd been carrying. I ordered this cross body with...
