Share Four Somethings-July 2023

Well, it looks like I might get this post out in the month of July, yay! This month has gone quickly and I can't believe Tuesday is August. This has been a weird summer and it's also weird that I am not preparing for the school year. Anyway, I am happy to be able to look back over the month and link up with Jennifer to share my Four Somethings. I will be sharing things I've loved, learned, read, and ate!

 Something Loved

I have loved the participation and growth we have experienced with our new business. I enjoyed celebrating my 45th birthday. I also enjoyed my week in Tennessee. I got to see my brother and some of his family, and spend quite a bit of time with my sister and her family. We had some great pool days and I was able to relax for the first time this summer. One of my best friends, gave me a $25 dollar gift card to Amazon, where I immediately purchased three books from my wishlist (of course I did 😂). Kayla made me a wearable pin cushion which I believe everyone who sews needs one!! I had Kayla go out and get me cupcakes for my birthday (they were okay), and I had Matt bring home burgers for dinner, they were fabulous! My sister spoiled me a bit in Tennessee by having her husband make me a steak dinner, and she made me coffee cake cookies, which were AMAZING. She also got me a bookish tote and T-shirt! Finally, my mom sent me a fabulous crochet book. It is one of the best birthdays I have had. 

 

 

 

Something Learned 

So much. I am still learning so much about running a business. However, this time, I prefer to focus on this impulse buy I bought in TN. We have the original game of Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza, and LOVE it. When I saw this expansion pack, I HAD to have it. Now, we are learning it and it is hilarious (and somewhat hard to keep everything straight, which adds to the hilarity). It is a great group game and one I highly recommend.

Something Read

July is another record low reading month for me (13 and I *might* finish one more by Tuesday). But, I have had 6-five star reads, which is fabulous! I will put the book cover up and you can click on the cover of the book if you are interested in learning more. Also, Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster was a reread because it was our book club pick-all the ladies loved it! Merritt and her Childhood Crush was also a reread, but this time I listened to it on audio book-it was fabulous both ways. 

Another post I did on my book blog this month was highlight 45 of my favorite books. You can see that here, if you are interested 😀. It was VERY hard to narrow down to just 45!!!

 

 

 

Something I Ate

I feel like I should say EVERYTHING! I ate awful this month and my weight is still reflecting it. Here is just a few pictures of what I ate. I am over. I saw a picture taken of me on Thursday and I looked fat, and I just couldn't deal. I am overweight and I NEED to do a better job of taking care of myself. I also need to get back into a regular exercise routine and cut back out all the junk. I will feel so much better if/when I do that. I am planning to start back (again!) tomorrow. I would really appreciate prayers for motivation and self-control. As you can see from the pictures, it's not all bad...but it's not good either 😂
