Bottom line...we have been summering hard

We picked strawberries...we read a lot...we swam...we enjoyed MANY great softball games...we hung out with friends...we went to the lake..we saw Shania Twain with Besties...we experienced the trip of a lifetime in Italy...we went to the beach and we enjoyed quality family time!

 What I'm Dreading

Thinking positively...just keeping the faith and praying business picks up very soon!

 

What I'm Working On

Business Development at Work...Getting Ready and Organized for the School Year at Home and Blackout 2023!

What I'm Excited About

The new school year...all the new and fun things that this time of year brings- new supplies- new outfits- new teachers and new schedules...the start of dance and hockey and play rehearsals...bring on all the fun!

What I'm Watching/Reading

LOVED some Summer Series like

And Just Like That

The Summer I Turned Pretty

OutDaughtered

 

Pen15 (this was a binge watch and not necessarily a summer series)

and my two books for August were

Golden Hills by Jennifer Weiner

Awesome short story by one of my favorite authors....the name doesn't really fit but loved the political story.  Find it HERE

and "Everyone Here Is Lying" by Shari Lapena

Find it HERE

Another winner by an amazing suspense author- this will be in my Top 5 of the year!!

 

What I'm Listening To

LOTS of Taylor Swift in these parts :)

 

 

 

 What I'm Wearing

Those linen pants....

 Barbie Attire

A Little Lilly

and in Italy it was all about the shorts and dresses...lots of fun fashion!

 What I'm Doing This Weekend

We have a wedding on Friday Night- hope to get some outdoor time on Saturday- dinner at Mimi and Papa's Saturday Night to celebrate Mama's Birthday- Party at our Friends on Sunday and Dinner with Besties on Monday- hoping it is a perfect Labor Day Weekend!

 

 

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month

 

Celebrating Turning 50 and Blackout 2023!

 

 

What Else Is New?

This guy gave us a big scare when we were in Italy.  He refused to eat and drink while at Doggy Daycare.  So stubborn and nervous.  My Father in Law, who is the best, picked him up and brought him to the animal hospital where they gave him an IV so he would not get dehyrdated...after that, he still wouldn't eat until we got home three days later...Thank God he is ok AND he is loving life now that we are all home....freshy!
