A Peek Into My Week

I’m sorry for that obnoxiously rhyming title, but I had to.

Hello Guardians! I recently saw this idea on Maggie’s blog, and it looked like a ton of fun! So I asked her if I could try it, and she said yes! So, here’s a look into my life…

Also, here’s a heads up, I took most of thest photos from my phone. I wanted this post to be a bit more laid back, so that’s why the quality isn’t up to par. And just remember that this is the highlights of my week. Don’t try to compare yourselves to me okay? I have plenty of bad days, but I mean, why would I share those? Just keep that in mind.

Anyway, we begin the week on Monday…

I caught up on some blog posts, one of which being Maggie’s post which inspired me to start on this post! Also, a side note, you guys have fantastic blogs! Keep up the good work.

Also on Monday, I had to drive my mom to run a few errands. I was sooooooo terrified to drive when I started out, but it’s gotten a lot better.

Tuesday

I worked on a comic for art class…more on that later, but I’m really happy with the turnout.

I also worked on this photostory for my other blog. I had a bit more of a time crunch than usual, but I still think it turned out pretty good. Check it out here!

For my mom’s birthday, my dad and I are going to re-do her room in a beach theme. So I looked a bit on Amazon for some beach decorations.

Oh yeah! I want to tell you some about what I’ve been reading this week. I’m re-reading KOTLC for my readathon, and I’m obviously enjoying that. Then, I read The Cursed Hunter by Bethany Atazadeh. It’s part of The Stolen Kingdom series which is amazing! I’m definitely enjoying that series. And I like to read eBooks at night, so currently I’m reading Little Women. That’s for a…secret collab. So more on that later.

Wednesday

I worked some more on my comic! I finished it up, and I’m really happy with it.

Do you like it? I use the Stones for school a lot.

Wednesday was also St. Patrick’s Day!

I have to include a few photos of Rocket. He’s the best part of my week!

Wednesday night, we made a fancy Dutch dinner! I thought it was cool that the carrots I was chopping matched the knife I used.

Yum, cake!

Here’s the Dutch meal! The meat is called Hachee, and the potatoes are called Hutspot. It was good, but not worth the three hours it took to cook it.

Also, look at Rocket! He was hoarding all his toys. He is a pretty spoiled dog.

Thursday

I worked on a puzzle on Thursday. I’ve forgotten how relaxing puzzles can be!

Oh yeah, it was also kinda stormy. That’s my favorite sort of weather.

Of course, I had some help with my puzzle. I have to thank the lovely Rocket!

We went out to eat on Thursday night and then went to a grocery store. Do you see this thing I saw? It’s called a Jack Fruit and it is huge. We didn’t buy it, but it certainly looks interesting.

Friday

I went through my blogging ideas and I came up with a master list on Google Docs. Needless to say, I have a lot of ideas. Also…do you see any photoshoot/photostory ideas you really like? Let me know, and maybe I’ll incorporate them!

Also related to blogging, I came up with some blogging goals. I feel that my style has sort of shifted lately, and I’ve been making blogging to stressful. After comparing tips with Maggie, (Maybe I should just title this post, “the Maggie Post” {side tangent, I had the idea one time to dedicate posts to my followers? what do we think of that?}) I came up with these goals.

Firstly, be more spontaneous. I’ve realized that my personality type craves spontaneity. Which, the way I’ve been planning my blog posts for the past year, does not allow for that. So I’m going to figure something out where I can be both consistent and spontaneous. I think these Saturday posts help a lot, obviously, seeing as you guys will see this in less than 24 hours.

Then, I want to work on blogging a bit every day. Because I love blogging, so why wouldn’t I want to work on it? Even if it’s just a simple task like replying to comments, I want to work on it some every day. To contrast that, I also have taking breaks as one of my goals. That’s because I tend to let blogging define me, and I’m more than just a blogger. So I think that I may take a week off from posting every now and then, and I’m trying to learn to be okay with that. (Seriously guys, there hasn’t been a week that I haven’t posted since May 2019. And that was just one week….)

Also, if there’s an idea that I have, most of the time, I want to go through with that no matter what. But I’m realizing that the posts I had in mind in 2018 aren’t the same posts I want to make now. So I want to really only do posts I want to make. I want to focus more on ideas, and not plans. Just because I have an idea, doesn’t mean I have to do it.

I wanna be more active in the community! I feel like I’ve been fairly good lately, but I’m looking to follow some more blogs. If I’m not already following you, comment your blog address in the comments! And if I am, comment somc of your favorite blogs!

Schedule posts a week in advance might seem somewhat restrictive. But I want to schedule them JUST a week in advance, and not like, a month. If it happens to be less than a week, that’s okay! I’m hoping that part of doing this will help open up my schedule more.

Finally, I want to organize my workspace. You guys are somewhat familiar with my studio, but it could still use some work!

Ummmmm, anyway. That was definitely a tangent. I believe this post was supposed to be about my week, so I’ll move on now.

To close off my Friday, we watched The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It’s kind of hard to put my thoughts together for this, because I like it, but I also really liked WandaVision at this stage of the show. So I’ll have to share my thoughts more as I go along.

We’ve also been watching some March Madness. It’s fun to watch, even if I’m not SUPER into it like some basketball fans.

Well, that was one of the most random posts you’ll ever see on this blog! Let me know if you liked it, and maybe I’ll do more sometime! I definietly won’t be doing this every week, but maybe when I have interesting stuff going on. It was pretty fun to do.

Tell me about your week! Also, give me some new blogs to follow!
