Lately // and a Giveaway!

You guys, right now my internet is on the fritz . I have to get on while it decides it wants to work &, hopefully, Time Warner can fix it in the morning. I haven't been posting a lot lately because, frankly, I'm in a funk. I've spent most of the week on the verge of tears and I would really like to hibernate. I haven't been feeling well and I know that's part of it. Also, I'm just depressed. I'm trying to shake it off, but it's taking more effort than usual and it leaves little motivation for much else. Anyway, this is what I've been up to lately.

Watching: Family Ties on Netflix...and the Olympics

You guys, I was 2 when this show came out & I remember watching the later seasons with my parents growing up. I did not realize how ground-breaking it was! Yes, it's a family comedy. But, they covered some pretty heavy issues starting with the pilot. I'm really enjoying it. It's a nice glimpse into actual 80's fashion too. Unfortunately, everything Mallory wears is the stuff I hated being made to wear as a kid. I also can't figure out why they dressed Jennifer like a Cabbage Patch Kid.

Also, I'm nerding out over the Olympics. I always do. I particularly enjoy watching the snowboarders. First, I'm amazed at their talent. I tend to yell "How are they even doing that?!" a lot during those events. I especially like that it's a "new" sport and all of the tricks were named by the snowboarders themselves. I think it's hilarious to listen to the sportscaster use the made-up names. I'm easily amused. I know.

Reading: Mixed Media Masterpieces with Jenny & Aaron

It took me awhile to get my hands on it & now I don't want to put it down...unless it's to do the projects that are in the book. I love Jenny. She's my Instagram buddy. She & Aaron are so inspiring. This book is filled with adorable tutorials. I'm most excited because the projects leave so much room for each person to incorporate their own ideas. You don't just want to do their art. It's a great way to catch the bug & start making art of your very own!

Baking: Cupcakes

Who doesn't love a great cupcake?! There have been 2 birthdays at work in the last 2 weeks. So, of course, I make cupcakes! I just really need to stop eating them...and figure out how to downsize my frosting recipe. So. Much. Frosting.

Excited About: Growing this blog

I really like where it's going and I recently bought my very own domain name. I'm officially www.soyouguys.com and it makes me feel like such a big girl blogger!

Thinking About: Getting on a better schedule with my blogging

What do you think? Would you prefer if I post about certain things on certain days or do you like it random? I'd love your input.
