The Whats of August

I started doing a “My Favorite Things” post a few months this year.

Well, here’s the truth.

I don’t have something “favorite” all the time.

And calling something my favorite just because I used it that month felt like a weird little lie. 😂

I mean…favorite is a big label.

So I took some time off, thought about it and came up with…

The Whats.

What I’m doing. What I’m using. What I’m eating. What I’m watching. Whatever the heck happened that month.

It doesn’t have to be my favorite.

It’s just…the what.

Get it?

Good.

Let’s dive in.

What I’m Watching

Jeremy and i watch a show every night before bed. We started Justified. It is on Hulu. It has been good. I like it…im not 100% sure if he does lol. And of course we watched The Preacher’s Wife. Dude, that husband…he may not have done it, but he pushed her to do it. Have you watched it?

What I’m Doing

We traveled in August. Not like a ton or anywhere super dupe exciting lol. We went to Gatlinburg to celebrate our anniversary. Where i FINALLY saw a bear just walking around after a good 5-7 trips and never seeing one. We went to Kings Island as much as we could. We moved Kaci into college.

I’m also sitting outside in the morning. When im on vacation, i always wake up before everyone. So i would sit outside (if i can) and read, relax, scroll. Well when im home, i never do that. I get up and get to it right away. Jeremy was like, you gotta do that at home too. So i started, and dang it…it is kinda nice.

What I’m Eating

junk. bahahaha. No i am trying to increase my water. But here’s the deal i hate plain water. it is gross and boring. I always felt like flavoring water was bad, like it didn’t count. But after chatting with Google, apparently flavored water still counts. Just watch all the other crap they put in it. Sooooo, im on a mission to find a water flavoring that isn’t high in calories, sodium, or sugar and tastes good. So far Crystal Light is winning.

What I’m Reading

I started the Rina Kent Legacy of Gods series. It is dark with a capital D. So check those trigger warnings.

What I’m Warming

I’m LOVING Smoked Honey Apple right now. Jeremy is like “it is 100+ out, why do you have pumpkin and Halloween out” I said shhhhhhhh. Apparently I’m mentally in fall even if Ohio isn’t. 😂

What I Realized

OOE. i really want my Organized Online Entrepreneur (OOE for short) to be successful. but i also know that im not willing to stress myself to pieces over it. so it will get there.

These kids. I say this often, like daily lol. All i can do is hope my kids believe me when i say that we are there for them. But if they chose not to use us that is on them. I can’t force no one to do anything.

Jeremy. Your kids were never supposed to be your always, your spouse is. So nurture that the hardest. I read that line in one of those dark romance books…who would’ve thought. But it really stuck with me.

And there ya have it.

The August Whats.

A little bit of what I watched, read, ate, did, warmed and apparently learned along the way.

See ya next month for another round of…whatever the Whats happen to be. 😂
