What’s up Wednesday!

September 26, 2018 by Tina Anthis

Two posts in one day! Here’s a bonus post for you guys. I haven’t done a “what’s up wednesday” in a while so here you go……………………………………………………….

what's up wednesday

Once a month bloggers around the globe link up with Shay and Sheaffer to answer some fun questions. I know you are dying to hear my answers! LOL

What we’re eating this week

Whatever I can happen to throw together! I am seriously off my dinner game. I’ll blame it on my week away and some work being done around the house or just being lazy! Last night we threw a combination of leftovers at the kids and Nick and I headed for Bone Fish Grill where I had the Bang-Bang Shrimp Tacos, YUM!

What I’m reminsicing about

As we move into fall, it was fun to look back on our summer and see what we accomplished which we kept track of on our summer bucket list chalk board list.

What I’m loving

This mascara and eye makeup remover from Lancome. Nothing takes my eye makeup off faster or easier than this stuff.

What we’ve been up to

School, dance, tennis, marching band, jobs (including a new one for my hubby!), brunch with my BFF….life is full!

What I’m dreading

My 6 month trip to the dermatologist! They always manage to find something worth cutting or freezing off my face!


What I’m working on

Let’s see…getting my blog up to date. Organizing the pantry (side note…how is it that we had three bottles of ketchup…all past their expiration?? Who’s buying all this ketchup and then forgetting about it and buying more? I mean, we don’t even use that much ketchup!)

What I’m excited about

Putting up some fall decor. I did a deep cleaning last week and put some spring/summer things away to make way for pumpkins! I intend on tackling that next week.

What I’m watching/reading

While I was in California I set aside the books I brought and instead binge watched several Amazon Prime shows. I watched Laid, Harpers Island and The Delivery Man. I started Forever but it took a super weird turn which I thought was lame so I found something else. Now Nick and I are working our way through The Americans. As for reading I can’t wait to crack this book open. I’ve been hearing great things about it. My September book review should be out within the next few days. It will be short and sweet though…I think I may have only read FOUR books this month!

What I’m listening to

My two youngest discussing the merits of a watermelon Jolly Rancher over the cherry and green apple. (what can I say we have deep discussions here at the Anthis house! LOL!)

What I’m wearing

Just got a new Stitch Fix box today (review coming tomorrow), so I’ve been trying things on. It’s too warm for jeans and sweaters right now but I’m looking forward to cozy clothes and wearing my slippers!

What I’m doing this weekend

Well, I’ll be shuttling one kiddo to and from marching band. She has two big competitions on Saturday. Other than that Nick and will likely go to breakfast on Sunday morning, something we do quite regularly.

What I’m looking forward to next month

Several people I love have birthdays…three of which, oddly enough, are on the same day!

What else is new

These glasses, which are for both reading and distance. My expression is pretty much how I feel about them. I’m not sure I will get used to the bifocal part. I feel like I have to hold my head just right to make them work which is annoying.

Bonus question: What’s your favorite pumpkin thing to eat or drink

I’m not a huge pumpkin spice person. Really the only pumpkin things I like are pumpkin bread or pumpkin donuts.
