Just for fun, open this in another tab and jam a little while you read. If you are a mobile viewer, you are totally missing out! :]


What have I been doing?
Hmm..gearing up for all the upcoming things! Right now we (Beard, his brother & I) are in PA.  The company they work for (Paradise Energy Solutions) has what they call "The Summit" once a year at their main office.  I believe it's conferences, where they discuss how they've done, and any strategies for the next year.  I decided to come along this time, we are staying at Brad's aunt and uncle's place.  Super fab hosts I tell ya :] Anyways, We arrived yesterday around lunch time and after I dropped the guys off I went up around the corner to a place called Angela's Cafe - what a COOL place! It's like a coffee shop/cafe/library/plus other things, I think I saw a music room, they have a family care center there, all kinds of stuff! I ate some lunch and spent some time on the internet and reading.  I wish we had a place like that in NY!

Hows the weather? (don't you like how I switch up the questions to be suitable for what I have subject matter for?)
Snowy! I hear they've gotten their share this year!  I'd say the roads here are a little scarier than ours. I think it's because there are a lot of back/side roads, and they probably don't get the salt and plowing that we are used to.  Plus there is like zero shoulder && people build their farms like 2 feet from the road.  (I may exaggerate a tiny bit, yes I may)

What are you doing this afternoon/evening?
Weeeell I think dear Aunt Kathy is gonna show me some cool shops for awhile (You should see her house, it has the coolest stuff!  She was telling me about an auction she goes to sometimes and what she paid for some of her items and my jaw almost hit the floor, in a good way.  I  know we are spoiled in NY with our salvation armies but sign me up for one of those auctions please!) AAAnd tonight we are going to Shady Maple with the paradise people for their 5th (I think) anniversary. I hear that I am in for quite a treat to eat/see this place (haha...eat at I mean), I'm excited about it!

What are you working on?
Nothing I think. As crazy as that sounds, since I think even in my bio it says I always have a project.  Here I go to re-write that...jk.  But really, I've had kinda a dry spell of ideas.  Or I should say, of motivation to run with ideas.  I went shopping with my Lovely mom-friend Ann last week and got a little inspired at Michaels (they have the coolest stuff right now!!) and went home to do a little re-decorating. I think with all the painting I was doing I kinda focused on that, and now that I'm between a rock and a hard place (The kitchen isn't ready to paint, and I can't seem to commit to a bedroom color) I am twiddling my thumbs.

Whats coming up?
Well next weekend our church is hosting The Gathering, which is a youth event. I'm working on a grocery list to get all the supplies to feed those kiddos. Then the focus will switch to getting my dad's house totally emptied out, and cleaned, because there is a possible renter that would like to move in.  THEN I will begin to get giddy about my trip to NC to meet all my new babies that have to get to know their Aunt Patty and LOVE HER, duh!

What is "trending" for you?
Topknots.  I've finally mastered a good one (that works for me) and It's totally my go to.  It hides crazy hair, dirty hair, any kinda hair.

now would be a good time to insert the next question:
What are you wondering now?
(haha some of these make little to no sense) I'm wondering about DIY stuff. Like, as much as that is part of my lifestyle I feel like it would be fun to include some little tips in blog posts, but i feel like nothing would be 100% original, so it would be one more tutorial out there.  And I guess I'd feel guilty like I was trying to make something that wasn't mine, MINE. BUT on the flip side, people can pick and chose which tutorials makes the most sense to them, right? I know I've typed something into pinterest or Google and weeded out the ones that didn't seem to fit my personal cognitive thinking.

So, tell me. Should I throw a little DIY in? For example, how to paint a striped wall, or an awesome topknot recipe for long hair? :)

What are you looking forward to?
A post that will be coming sometime in the short future featuring a photoshoot my talented SIL did on the perfect snowy afternoon.  I'll introduce you to a couple models that were present as well. It will be a fun time. :)

That's me in a nutshell.  These posts are fun for me because they are so scattered and from here to there, but in question form it seems to work. :)

Happy bottom half of the week, readers!
