I’ve been keeping up with this Tuesday/Friday scheduling a lot longer than I thought I could and that makes me so happy!
BUT today I must delay a proper post to tomorrow (will probably delete this post after posting tomorrow) because I’m potentially doing fun things today that I’d love to share with you all. 😀
I do get conflicted about waiting until Tuesday or Friday to share things if they happen on a Sunday or a Wednesday or something. But if I deviate from my schedule, I will still try to have at least 2 posts every week up here 😀
If I plan things out correctly, I should be able to resume blogging in about 2 weeks. I also hope I have internet at my new place by then so that I don’t have to camp out at a coffeeshop.
(It’s not that I mind camping out in coffeeshops, but I feel so guilty if I don’t buy anything after a few hours. The problem isn’t that I don’t like supporting coffeeshops, it’s more that I get suckered into buying something I don’t really like/need, like a fancy $5 latte. I don’t drink coffee, so you can see how I am never ecstatic about purchases like these.)
ANYWAY. Lots of things I want to share with you all, from my recent New York trip allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way back to my Europe trip, from which I marked the one-year anniversary of returning a few days ago.
…
😀 Excited to share all these things with you really soon!
I haven’t been doing as much day-to-day living blogging this month, mostly because I’ve been really busy with work and my long commute. I wanted to just give you all a quick little update as to what I’ve been up to!
Congratulating the graduating class of 2014 by sharing some of my never-before-seen graduation photos, like the one above.
Watching Sailor Moon on Hulu and loving it, despite how long the magical girl transformation sequence is each… and every… time.
JUST. SO. EXCITED.
Making flower crowns and quickly realizing that I should not feel insecure about the flowers being small; I like things better dainty and now my flower crown is absurdly humongous. (Photos will come when… my friend finishes editing them and sends them over XD)
Planning to make more, reasonably-sized flower crowns now that I’m armed with the confidence that I can.
Discussing the latest X-Men film and its gloriously frustrating continuity errors with fellow Marvel geeks.
Sampling the DC food truck scene and finding favorites.
Currently loving Crêpes Parfait, which is just adorable and delicious.
Settling on a new apartment so that I can cut my commute time down and spend more time with friends.
Welcoming my brother back from his first year in college.
Feels-ing everywhere over the season finales for Once Upon a Time and Hannibal.
Attempting to finish writing my Eurotrip blogs before my 2014 summer family vacation.
… Failing to finish all of those posts in time.
Preparing for my summer trip (and for disappointing you all with how delayed those posts come up ;P)
Deciding on a new watch to buy as a big-girl/working-girl gift to myself.
Declaring my current favorite Trader Joe’s salad to be the broccoli slaw & kale with chicken and dried cranberries.
Putting off baring my legs or arms (and shaving…) despite the ever-climbing temperatures.
Fuming about the Isla Vista shooting and some of the misdirected responses. (I will be writing about my thoughts on this soon, but I need some time to properly articulate how I feel in a way that is conducive to people being able to digest it easily.)
Enjoying my new domain name and my new business cards (unrelated to each other but both make me feel like the real deal).
Dreading going back to work after this week and a half vacation…
Appreciating hot water and electricity after a storm knocked them both out.
There you have it, a cute little update, inspired by Stephanie Pellet’s “Lately” posts over on Life in Limbo.
What are you currently doing/feeling/[insert verb]-ing?
No Friday Favorites post for today, I can’t think of good enough content but I get the feeling next week will be better. Sorry and you’ll all hear from me soon! Also, WordPress thinks I’ve passed a WP follower milestone. Thank you to everyone who thinks my public angst and babbling was worth sticking around […]
I will be away from social media for a little bit so two quick updates:
– I had a small accident yesterday coming back from the visa office. I’m perfectly all right; at worst, I’m mildly concussed but most likely just a lot stressed over the whole situation. Mine is a cautionary tale about not driving over 10 mph in bad weather and also making sure you have good tires.
– I was picking up my visa to go to China, where I will be spending the new year for the first time! I haven’t seen my extended family in nearly 4 years, so I’m very excited to go back. I’m slightly less excited to have my relatives ask me when I’m getting married, why I’m so tan, and how round my face is getting.
Due to the Great Firewall of China and my general tendency to keep away from social media while I’m on vacation, I’ll be reachable by email but you may not have as much luck with everything else.
Otherwise, be back in touch with everyone in under 3 weeks!
(I have a post about my ghastly visa experience ready that I may publish before I leave, or after I come back. I haven’t forgotten about my Europe posts that are left! Please lemme know if you’d rather I put those up when I get back or my China posts first.)
