Tuesday Things.
1. Ooooh I am craving this fresh tomato spaghetti squash! How good does that look.
2. Over the weekend I saw Leslie Odom Jr in concert and he was SO good. I’ve been on a Hamilton soundtrack binge ever since. Max is very into it.
3. How to find the perfect time to write! I love this. I’ve found recently that when things overwhelm me or I’m dreading working on something, if I give myself a 30 minute block of time (super short and not overwhelming!) to work on them, I get a TON done in that time. More than I’d think I would.
4. Okay guys, I am SO into A Million Little Things! Every week I keep saying it but I really am loving it. I obviously still love This Is Us but it’s so much more of an emotional rollercoaster than I can handle at times. I mean, you know, since it’s real life. Ugh. Can’t stand myself. Also, did you see all the cast changes for The Affair next year? Pretty sure I don’t even want to watch now. Whomp whomp.
5. I was laughing at these lies of convenience that you tell your kids. I know I’ve told Max a few about cleaning up toys and what not.
6. Do you actually think that time is speeding up for us? I read Emilia’s birth story on my baby page last night and just about had a heart attack that it was almost a year ago.
7. Why you should make your bed every morning. I get it.
8. You guys! Every year at this time I talk about how I was Jem for about four Halloweens in a row. Well I was at the mall last week and saw a holographic sparkly bright sweater that looked exactly like my mom’s sweater from the 80s that I wore when I went as Jem. Said sweater was only $380. You know. ONLY. I should probably go again this year.

I love this list!
I read the book “Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World” and it was so good! It’s so true, I have found that when I make my bed every morning I feel a little more accomplished!
I’m all about starting the day with a made bed and a tidied space. The sense of getting that task done sets a tone and not seeing a mess (as the article notes) helps my brain stay much calmer.
I’ve been wondering what Season 5 of the Affair would be now that a main character was gone and what would the matching main character be doing? The whole thing will probably circle around to Helen & Noah – right back to where we started.
basically? all I want to do now is drive by a herd of cows and yell ‘herman!’ LOL LOL.
…..sorry I’m late, I was making my bed. Now I feel better/
I’m so into A Million Little Things! Love Gary!! Still into this is us but have been so far underwhelmed by this season. Not a single tear shed yet.
Am I the only one who noticed that on A Million Little Things the dead guy is the only one who seemingly held down a regular job? How do these people afford to just hang out together all day? Can’t take it seriously.
Dead guy worked so much so his wife could stay home. Almost dead guy had a flexible job. Cheating dad’s wife worked all the time so he could stay home and just do guitar lessons. And then there’s Gary. Enough said.
Great synopsis! ;-D
6.) Warp speed.
8.) DO IT.
Love a million things but I missed one episode and I’m LOST!! Since I live in a nursing home my room mate has her t.v. on and we play volume war! So basically I can’t hear! I tried to catch the replays of that episode I missed no luck! And I don’t have on demand! Oh well hopefully the season’s will be on Netflix!
Those are some great tips about finding time to write. When I first got back into writing, I absolutely hard to carve out finite time to write, and I couldn’t be distracted by anything else. I spent my week off from work between Christmas and New Year’s writing all day, every day, and I produced eight chapters. After that point, I was able to section off weekends just for writing, and a few hours on set nights during the week if I needed it. That structure really helped me focus on my writing and “get in the groove,” and I was able to finish my novel within three months. Blog writing is obviously very different, and it is a bit harder to find time to write posts along with everything else I do for the blog. Right now, I write on Monday nights, Thursday nights, and Sundays — not coincidentally, all times when football is on TV and my husband is glued to the TV, haha. I try to do at least an hour writing sesh, but sometimes if I can just do 30 minutes, I’m happy.
Also, I kind of agree with Brande’s advice, with a modification: ““If you fail repeatedly at this exercise, give up writing [FOR NOW!!!]. Your resistance is actually greater than your desire to write, and you may as well find some other outlet for your energy as early as late.”
I tried to write my novel for about 10 years before actually doing it. I tried to make time to write, I failed at keeping to my schedule, always had an excuse, etc. During those years, my resistance WAS greater than my desire to write — and it frustrated me to no end. I hated that I couldn’t bring myself to write, and that just made me feel worse about not writing. So, I let myself off the hook a few years ago…and then when I finally felt moved to begin writing again, this time, it was for real — I made the time, and I made it happen, and I’m still making the time and making it happen. I wish I hadn’t pressured myself so long ago because, really, it was just that other things were taking precedence in my life — and that was okay. That’s what I wanted more at that point, clearly, and I think if I had accepted that sooner, I could have saved myself a lot of guilt. So, take Brande’s advice with a grain of salt…but, definitely consider her advice. :-)
I make my bed every morning. And, if God forbid that I don’t, I will make it before I get into bed. I know weird. But I am who I am!!
