WhatUp Wednesday #8
This week’s post is coming to you live from Raleigh, NC. I
had to go for work this week and while I like NC, I am happy to be heading home
tomorrow. Home. To Texas. Wow-still surreal to think that TX is home for me. I
love it there and it feels like I belong. I digress…
So, I have been here in Raleigh since Monday and it has been
raining but thankfully we had a beautiful day here today. I wore this fun
patterned wrap dress that I got in my last Dia&Co box and these sandals
that match perfectly!
To change the subject though, about a week and a half ago, I
visited the Dallas Botanical Gardens. I promised to share some of it with you.
I went early (which I would strongly suggest that you all do as well if you
decide to go) and it worked out great. I actually went there thanks to Groupon
and a discounted fee and I will definitely go back again. I am thinking of
purchasing an annual pass since it is only $89 for me and a friend to visit
year-round and parking is included. If you do not purchase parking online
(which is only $8), it is $15 at the gate- a substantial savings and a pass
covers all of that as well.
So, when I went, it was the last weekend that the sculptures
were in the gardens. I took some pictures with and without them since some of
them were extremely interesting. Here are a few of my pics from this adventure:
Since last week, I have been super busy at work so I
apologize for not writing as much. I have a hard time working all day and then
coming home and sitting down and typing and blogging. But, I have worn lots of
fun outfits and enjoyed the pool and the sunshine. Here are some outfit pics in
case if you missed them on Instagram:
Finally, here is what I am loving this week. I finished
watching Arrested Development on Netflix. I must agree with the critics that
the first three seasons were better than the fourth. I am looking forward to
the 5th season that is scheduled to arrive in 2018. This was the
first time watching this show ever and I loved it! I also watched a new show on
Netflix called Friends From College. I enjoyed this show and it reminded me of
some of my friends at a point in my life. It was fun and romantic with some
twists and turns along the way.
I also read the book
13 Reasons Why (finally) and I found it every bit as poignant as the critics
said it was. I do not want to watch the Netflix series because I love the way I
pictured these characters in my mind. Suicide is no joke. I enjoyed the book,
but to be honest, it really bothered me that every little thing made this girl
feel as if she had no hope. If you are young and reading this post, know that
you will get through it and it does get better! High school sucks. Being a kid
can sometimes suck. But life is so wonderful and magical and you have so much
better coming your way! If you are suicidal or are contemplating thoughts of
suicide, you can call the hotline at 1-800-273-8255 or I just heard a TED talk
that you can text to 411411.
It’s been a long post so I am going to tap out- I will write
more next week on what’s going on in the big D.
Thanks for reading and following along with me!
