Hi, hi. Happy Tuesday 😀
How do you like the newest addition to my mug family?
I saw the little guy sitting on the shelf while I was out at the store yesterday, looking all sad and lonely, and decided I just had to take him home with me. It was a good decision on my part. Some other notable buys that somehow ended up following me home?
A decorative bowl that I don’t know what to fill with…
A supply of Greek yogurt that I’ll be filling my belly with…
A new table for my entry hallway that I’m still not 100% sold on…
Aaaaaaand some random beauty essentials that I scored a pretty awesome deal on…
So I’ve pretty much decided that I need to stop saying that I’m going to blog about a specific topic on a specific day, because more often than not, it just doesn’t end up happening… and then I start feeling bad for not following through, and yeah – it’s just not a good situation for anyone.
The thing is, I really do have every intention of sticking to a plan, or writing about what I say I’m going to write about; but then things get busy, I lose my initial bout of inspiration, or life happens and I get inspired to write about something completely different.
Like yesterday, for example? I left the house a little before 9 AM and didn’t get home ’till a little before 10 PM, which didn’t exactly leave me with a lot of time to sit down and collect my thoughts. And no, I wasn’t secretly blowing you guys off to play Candy Crush. For your information, I’ve hit a point in my candy crushing journey where I have to wait to unlock new levels, so I’ve got another 14 hours and 40 minutes before I can play again. Life is tough…
… especially when you’re trying to manage a raging appetite along the way. Yesterday was killer on the hunger front. One of those days where lunch time rolls around and you’re more than ready to chow down, despite having already eaten breakfast 3 times. It was also one of those days that you just have to end with chocolate, because nothing else would do; even if the only chocolate you have is of the chip variety…

If you blog, do you plan out your blog posts in advance or just write on the fly?
Fill in the blank: Sometimes only _________ will do.
Aww, that little mug is the cutest! I was so tempted to pick up a couple of new dishes at TJ Maxx the other day but I refrained since it took me about an hour that same morning to rearrange my kitchen cabinets after emptying the dishwasher…I may have a bit of a problem…ok, I TOTALLY have a problem! haha!
I’ve taken a whole new approach to blogging as you know…the “I do what I want” approach…and I have to say it’s working quite nicely! I used to stress out so much with blogging about certain things on certain days, posting at certain times, remembering all the link ups…it was exhausting and COMPLETELY unnecessary! Blogging should be fun and it should represent who I am…and I know I’m just not the type of person who can do the same thing over and over again. I much rather prefer spontaneity and randomness…so I totally love that you’re doing the same! 🙂
PS, I thought of you the other day when I was out shopping for makeup! Lol
😆 Oh that’s great. I actually thought of you while I was in the store once browsing new dishes – I want that ‘serving bowl’ you have!
loveeeeeeeeeee that mug! so freaking cute. Sometimes only alcohol will do ;-)! dont judge hahah
I love the entryway table! The color is perfect! And beauty buys are sometimes a necessity! 😉 I don’t usually plan out my blog posts. Sometimes I begin with an “end point” in mind, and sometimes when I start writing, it ends up taking a direction of it’s own.
Sometimes only dark chocolate will do! MMM!
First, i LOVE LOVE LOVE your new mug. It’s absolutely adorable! Now to answer your question…Sometimes only a spoonful (or two, or maybe even three) will do 🙂
I try to plan what I am going to blog but often I just make an awesome meal and have to blog about it.
Sometimes only candy and wedding shows on the couch will do.
Cute mug! I should get one like that for my mom – she has a bit of a pig collection going on: a metal one as decoration in our kitchen, a plaqued picture of one, a cement one on our lawn (seriously haha).
I tend to write my posts over 2-3 days, so yeah they are usually planned. Every so often I’ll just pump one out on the fly though!
Sometimes only multiple handfuls of granola will do.
Okay so yep, that mug is pretty much perfect, too adorable 🙂 And you know my feelings regarding scheduling and planning to blog… While you are certainly more on the ball with blogging than I am now, I get not being able to follow a specific plan. Or at least having to force yourself more often than not. I also have a whole lot to say, yet getting it out in a timely, scheduled matter is pretty much never going to happen, at least for the time being! This takes the joy out of this wonderful hobby and I never want that to occur!
Sometimes only cuddling with my cat Caleb will do 🙂
such a cute mug lady! i have to say, my mind has been the same way, all over the place, don’t really know what to write about despite having so much on it.
that mug is amazing!!! i have a slight mug addiction. and have promised myself not to buy any more for a while, since the current collection won’t fit in the cabinets, even when it’s stacked. but he is way too adorable.
and i’ve tried to plan out certain things for certain times on the blog, but i always work myself into a corner and have zero fun when i feel like i have to write about something particular.
that’s a tough break about candy crush…
and i love the beauty finds! it made me feel like i knew what i was doing… i’m using revlon colorstay right now.
I’m starting to run into the same problem with my mugs… It’s getting to the point where basically none of them match anymore 😕 And the Revlon Colorstay line is amazing! Definitely my favorite drug store makeup.
I have a plan, but it usually doesn’t happen unless the posts are prewritten. My brain just dumps sometimes.
For me… sometimes only nut butter will do. Any kind of nut butter!
I totally know the feeling, with intending to blog about certain things, planning to and even half-writing posts, and then it just doesn’t happen. It’s really hard to follow through with everything because I feel like there’s so much I want to do! The world of blogging…
Love that mug! I’m such a sucker for cute mugs, none of mine match! My blog posts are usually just whatever is on my mind at the time. If I have something I want to talk about or a recipe to share those posts are normally more planned than most of my daily ones.
I like the table! It’s cute!
I definitely have days like that, when I feel like I haven’t stopped eating but am still hungry or craving something. Oh well, gotta listen to our bodies, I guess!
I’m a major organizer, so I almost always plan out my posts. A lot of it has to do with link-up parties that I join, but I think most of it is because I’m an organize freak. Very similar to Monica on Friends. It’s scary sometimes.
Organization can be so calming, though! I tried to be more organized with my posts, but I came across too many instances where I had a post topic all planned out with absolutely no motivation to write it 😕
I love the little piggy mug, so cute 🙂 And new beauty buys are always a plus too! I try to kind of plan my posts out during the week but most of the time life happens and that plan goes to “nope”. Oh well, it keeps things more interesting.
And while chocolate (especially of the chip variety) is great some days only French Onion dip will do 🙂
LOL!, nope. it’s too hard to really plan out blogging topics. I don’t like structure that much. Although some people do so well with it, ya know?
the table is cute!
I would use that bowl for fruit, I’ve been keeping my eyes out for a neat fruit bowl
cute mug, looks like an illustration from a children’s book 🙂 those makeup brushes look soo soft, i need to learn how to apply makeup…
sometimes, only peanut butter will do. going to grab some riiight about now!
I generally have an idea for my posts, but they usually end up a lot different then planned (; Sometimes only coffee/peanut butter/sleep will do. And that pig mug is adorable! I have a slight obsession with pig things and I need this mug!
Sleep! Ahhh definitely… sometimes nothing works like a good nap.
I LOVE fun coffee mugs like that! Great purchase, Amanda! sorry to hear you had such a hectic day yesterday – I hope the rest of your week is fabulous 🙂
new mugs are definitely necessary! love adding to my collection. i’ve tried to tell myself that i’ll stick to a schedule, but more often than not, i don’t! i post recipes when i make something worth posting, and try to just keep it interesting and not all over the place! it’s hard to keep to a schedule…life gets in the way =) and for me…sometimes only a glass of wine will do! or green tea =)
Sometimes only a big hug and a cry will do… And chocolate, roast chicken, potatoes, tea, apple strudel, gelato, cake, toast, or I’m a bit weird (remember papa is a fisherman!) fish. A kind word (or email) from a friend can do too. I think blog as your heart directs- it’s fun finding out small details of people- I love your piggy mug and sleek bowl 😉 I’ve just heard what my summer plans will be- I think my fish love will come in handy lol. I’m still interested to know your news! Love Sophia
I hope your summer plans will involve your new man! As for my news… all will be revealed in time 🙂
First of all, that’s an adorable mug. Secondly, I really like the hallway table! I think it’s cute 🙂 You should keep it!
Lastly, I need some chocolate chips right now… so jealous.
I like the hall way table! Those chocolate chips look amazing, I really fancy some now! I do schedule some posts in advance and tend to have found a routine with blogging which I like as I’m a routine person. I would like to be more spontaneous though!
