What’s floatin’ my love boat this week?
- Tiny containers: this is an attempt to be more organized as we unpack. My goal is to be settled and ready for a housewarming party when my bff visits at the end of September.
- Husband surprises: doing a huge ton of chores around the house; we have both been avoiding chores as of late but this has definitely helped jumpstart our quest for a cozy home.
- Career Comfort. Feeling like I am finding my stride at work. You know when you start a new job how it takes like 3 months to get settled in? Well, I finally hit that and it feels pretty good.
- Writing it down. Using a sketch book to sketch/write/list ideas. Trying to plot out my next moves and figure out where exactly rottencupcakes is going. I’ve been drafting a lot of plans and ideas and posing a lot of questions to myself about the blog and it’s direction. I’ll probably be putting a reader survey up and would love to get some feedback from you! What do you want? Who are you? Is it horrible for me to admit that I have no idea what I am doing? And that’s kind of scary?
- Leetle bits: The used bookstore having awesome things for super cheap. Green grapes. The Japanese market. The bowls I found at the Japanese Market (ktys & minkeys!). Surprise presents from my seester (tiny buddha, kitty card, cupcake picture holder, chicago transit map mug=SWOON. Seriously, Emily, I think this is one of the best presents I have ever received!). Finally buying a Trikky (a Kid Robot vinyl diy toy)—but leaving it white. Stripes. Lipstick. My wonderful friend continuing to explore her photography.
What’s keepin’ your chin up this week?
