JULY MONTHLY WRAP UP POST

WHERE TO START GOODNESS. it's been a fantastically summer filled month. also work filled >.< BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT. I declared July as a low spending month for me, which was kinda hard because college starts next month... I wrote down every purchase, where/why I bought it and how much I made at the same time. it's been a very awakening thing! should I do a post on it??? also for king and country is slowing releasing their new album jsyk. 

--------

Little sis : “hey can you help me with letting my fireflies go?”
Me : “sure” *opens door*
 *little sis takes lid off of cup*
“Okay little guys it’s time for you to go. *turns cup upside down* *peaks inside* “come on! You too!!” 

little boy I babysit : “I’m full!!”
 Me : “too full for cookies?”
“Oh there is one empty spot right here” *points to rib cage* lolol

guy in store “do you need any help today?” 
Me “no, thank you tho!”
Me mentally “do you know where my dad is”

so I'm in line at bank and these two people were talking about broccoli and the lady is like 
“How do you get the worms out of the broccoli when you grow it? I cooked mine last time and had cooked worms”
Me : “Uhm soak it in vinegar and water beforehand .....” 
Me mentally : “why do I know these things”

how i feel throwing weird info out of my brain

Sarah @bed bath and beyond “why are these adorable beds just sitting here wasting away? I'LL TAKE ONE “ 

Little sis *has cup of “coffee”*
*sips it* “hehe there is a warm breeze in there”
aka steam 

Me : *goes to bank and opens 2nd savings account*
My dad : “ i didn't even know you were doing that. you’ve grown up”

me, Sarah and Bree taking selfie
*sarah clicks button to snap photo* 
*screen turns off instead* 
*uncontrollable laughter* 

Me : “hey fam everyone pitch in a dollar and let’s go get a huge tub of ice cream” 
1 min later 
“ k lets go" (yes, we went) 

*in car* *drives past man frantically going towards sprinkler*
Me : “I don’t think that was a sprinkler” 
Sarah “me either”

 

Bro : “oh. Mom put the ladybug plant in this” 
(Me and I bro think cilantro taste like dead ladybugs. Don’t ask)   

Little sis : “it says no swimming in the Bible”
Me : “what?”
Little sis : “yup!”

“It’s no fair that you get a birthday in the summer. Mine is lopped together in during the season of fatness” - Sarah 

Me : “what would you think if I told you I was going to sell Wilson?”
little boy I babysit : “wait..to me?!” 

my mom :“getting old is for the birds” 
My dad : “not really. Birds die rather young...what does that mean anyways?!”

2 FANTASTICALLY SUMMER THINGS FROM JULY

WANT A POST ON MY JULY NO SPENDING CHALLENGE?

LOL WHEN WAKING UP IS HARD

 i love the feeling of waking up early after you've made it through the awful waking up process. you get me?

P.S i accidentally turned off my alarm this morning and sarah came in my room like "YOU'RE LATE FOR WORK" lololololol so lets move on with this post with that in mind.  >.<

I work 3 very different jobs which all have different starting times. 3-4 days of the week I'm up at 6-7am and then usually work until 6-8pm. but then there is friday in which I only work a 2 hr shift typically???

ITS ALL SO MUCH TO KEEP IN ORDER LOL, which is almost fun, but also it makes it difficult to keep a strict sleeping schedule for myself.  I'm also known for having my shut down time where I literally just stop talking and people look at me like ??? and I'm like "night folks" 

also I learned that caffeine at 7pm is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea. I made myself an iced coffee last week because I had 5 hours of sleep on a 13 hour work day and well... I basically was up for 20 hours straight because the coffee was a little too strong *facepalm*

so here are my pro tips

• go to bed early but not too early. I've learned that if I try to hit the hay too early I lay there and THINK. #firstworldproblems
• reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!! I'm such an advocate for bedtime reading. turn your phone off (but maybe leave the finding neverland soundtrack please) and read.
• prepare as much as you can for the day ahead. it helps yourself chill and relax so you don't have to lay in bed and think lol 
• have soft lights on when reading. the brighter your light, the more likely you are to feel awake even tho you are tired. 

FOR WAKING UP 

• set more than one alarm (that way you don't hit off LIKE I DID THIS MORNING LOL) 
• also set that alarm earlier than you need to so you can hit snooze once. Ahh the beauty in that feeling xD
• open your shade/turn lights on and your happy music 
• think about the exciting things that you either planned or don't have planned for today. KEEP SMILING xxxx
• or best of all, have a Sarah to wake you up, just in case. lololol 

what are some of your tips??

when do you normally wake up/go to bed?

A CHALLENGE FOR YOU

I'm afraid we are all fairly disconnected despite the amount of connection we have....
is that completely absurd or what? and, even though I would love to go into detail about that, I feel as if a) we feel stuck (after all, this is the age we are living in) or b) don't care lolol or c) already know and are looking for ways to change. 

WELL, I HAVE AN IDEA. 

I WANT EVERYONE TO SEND LETTERS TO EVERYONE :)

now, I'm aware this isn't original, but I really loved it awhile back when letter mailing had become a phase again. this summer, one of my best friends has been at camp where the wifi is weeeaaaaak to say the least (we squeal when she finds random chairs with good reception >.< lolol) so we've been sending letters!

FIRST OFF SHE IS LITERALLY THE MOST CREATIVE PERSON EVER. I am saving our 2018 summer letters forever. And, even though I love the speed of texting/the conversations you can have that way, I adore the fact that I can save this letter in my journal for years *fingers crossed nothing happens to that beloved thing of paper* o.o

annnyways. I wanted to challenge myself/you guys to do a darling thing.

WRITE ONE LETTER A WEEK. we surely have enough time for a short one even! ;) so mail one to your bestie who lives 10 minutes away, to your grandparents on the opposite side of the state(s), your special someone, your mail lady (or man lolol), LEAVE A RANDOM NOTE IN A RANDOM PLACE xxxxxxxx 

let it be encouraging and let it be the bearer of smiles



be brave in the words you say. Say the I love yous and thank yous your heart is burdened to say. 

ALSO IF YOU WANT TO BE SUPER FANTASTIC #ONELETTERAWEEK2018 on insta so we can all see them? YES YES YES
also also its a blast to make them adorably artsy. EEP ITS SO FUN I PROMISE.

LETS DO THIS THING !!!! 

are you joining?

when was the last time you wrote a letter / or received one?
