What's Up Wednesday

It's been awhile since I participated in the What's Up Wednesday link up, so I thought I would do it today. Plus I made a post about two weeks ago so I wouldn't forget.

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT...

Rory's cousins wedding that we went to a week and a half ago. We had the best time and are finally getting some photos from the photo booth.

WHAT I'M LOVING...

Everything Fall. Yesterday I lit my Leaves candle from Bath and Body Works and our whole house smelt like Fall. Even thought it was 100 degrees outside, inside our house it was cozy.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO...

A wedding, anniversary celebration, Graeagle trip and so much more.

WHAT I'M DREADING...

Rory going to Europe for work at the end of September. This means 8 days with my girls all alone. While I love our quality time together, they miss their dad so much and constantly talk about him which makes it harder at home. Plus I have them for three weekend days (Saturday, Sunday and the following Saturday) by myself which is harder to keep them entertained and not constantly asking for daddy.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON...

Fall blog posts, some new recipes and being crazy busy at work.

WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT...

My work trip to Louisiana and Mississippi, the rib cook-off, football is back, and all things Fall.

WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING...

I just finished reading All the Missing Girls which was good. I wasn't a big fan of the ending, but the book kept me intrigued the entire time. I am just starting The Couple Next Door (on recommendation). I am also excited about Fall TV coming back, but in the meantime, I have been watching Bachelor in Paradise, The Sinner, Bloodline and Masterchef.

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO...

My co-workers talking.

WHAT I'M WEARING...

I have started breaking out my Fall clothes, but mostly still wearing shorts (on the weekends), light weight slacks, dresses and anything that helps with the 100 degree heat. I also bought a lot from Lululemon lately, so I have been wearing that in the evenings and when I workout.

WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND...

We are going camping for Labor Day weekend and then I have my first Fantasy Football draft on Monday.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH...

I am getting my eyebrows microbladed. I know I have gone back and forth on this, but after talking to a few people about their experience and what to expect in the short and long term, I am on board. Plus I got a killer deal from a friend, and I couldn't pass it up. It is one less thing that I have to do in the mornings. Total win when you are a mom.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW...

I am experiencing what it really feels like to be old. Between my b-12 levels being so low and my back spasms, 34 has been showing me my age. Ha. Last week I had two back spasms and one hurt so bad that I was gimpy for the entire weekend. I thought the pain was gone and my muscle was better, but Monday afternoon it was back. I have been stretching, doing my normal workout routines and drinking tons of water, but wow oh wow, I have never experienced this many and this painful. Ugh.

WHAT ARE YOUR BEST BACK TO SCHOOL LUNCH IDEAS AND/OR TIPS...

Well considering my girls lunches are provided at their preschool, I am not much help there. And when I made their lunches, they ate the same thing over and over. I am interested in seeing what everyone else says so I can get some tips. Ha.

  7. Oh gosh - I bet that 8 days will feel like FOREVER. (I'm not helping, am I?)
    I am so ready to stock up on fall smelling candles. I got a coupon from Yankee Candles yesterday & was like, "Yep - even God wants me to go get some" ;)

  13. I am definitely ready for fall! All of the pumpkin patches, hay rides, and fun outings are the best!

  14. Bring on the fall!!!! Your dinner menu sounds delicious. Are you going to be in LA/MS during a football game? Careful, things get crazy down here! So close to my neck of the woods! I want to read The Couple Next Door. You will have to tell us what you think. It sucks when age starts to catch up with us and we realize we aren't in our twenties anymore, doesn't it?? I was looking in the mirror the other day and thinking gravity hasn't been doing me any favors either. Sort of like that scene out of Sweetest Thing with Christina Applegate. Remember that??
