Finish This: Week Fifty

Ohhhh my gosh, people. Two weeks left of 2014. Gulp. Ca-razy!

Counting down the weeks means linking up with our fab hostesses: Jen at The Arizona Russums, Becky at The Java Mama, Lisa at Coastlined, and Nicole at Three 31 - happy birthday, Nicole!

{Hey, with the New Year approaching, I'm joining these awesome bloggers in posting a Year in Review post! This is the mother of all Finish This posts, and I've been prepping for weeks. If you want to join the fun on December 31st, let me know or email Nicole, and we will hook you up!}

Getting older is fantastic. More and more often I find myself thinking, "It's great being an adult!" I am a quarter of a century old, and I think that each year is going to increase in both challenges and triumphs. That's my hope, anyway.

My best kept secret should probably not be published on the internet. Sorry Charlie.
I will follow Nicole's recommendation and share instead 2 "secrets" to my life success. 1) Always wear deodorant. 2) Pick a recipe, master it, make it your signature dish, and laugh away the applause.

My guilty pleasure is reading birth stories. Grace at Camp Patton has theeeee best birth story link-up everrrr and whenever I've got some time {or even when I don't!}, I slink over and find new stories to read. Yes please thank you kindly please here's to you.

My favorite place in the world is wherever my family is all together. Usually that means my parents' kitchen table, and now sometimes it means my living room. In a couple of weeks, it's going to mean an airplane on its way to Omaha - yay for family travels!

There you have it! Next week is all Christmas prompts because Christmas Eve is next Wednesday. Holy Moses. Come join the fun!

Welcome, August

This week has been a bit off. Ye olde blog has been slightly neglected while I was in alllllll daaaaaay looooooonnggg meetings Tuesday and Wednesday, and we are lucky to have "finished this" on Thursday. I'm usually a pretty positive person, so I feel weird blogging when I don't have anything happy to say. When life hands me lemons, I tend to withdraw from the blogosphere.


At the beginning of July, I told you how difficult the month of June was for me. July felt ten times harder. The highs were higher and the lows were lower, and some situations were both at the same time. Ugh, July, you were really rough!

So I'm ready for August. I'm ready for a settling into whatever new season is coming next {I know the next season is Autumn; I was being metaphorical and spiritual and stuff}. I'm ready for change and adjustments and something different.
