Happy Monday!
I hope you'all had a great weekend. Was it chilly where you live? It was so cool in Asheville yesterday!
Just a little reminder that my JUMBO giveaway is still going on here! You can win shoes (of YOUR choice,) a running skirt, healthy ice cream, a massager, eye-wear retainers and travel dreams! Something out of every main category on my site. There will be five winners, so don't miss your chance.
For today's post, I'm continuing my "Currently..." series. I love sharing more personal tidbits of my life in these posts. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do putting them together!
Here is what I’m currently doing this September…
Reading…
Most of my free time has been used cleaning up old blog posts.
Here is a tip: expect a blog redesign to take ten times more time than you think. Also don’t expect the launch to go perfect and don’t expect the work to end after the launch. That is hard for me to accept, but it is the truth! Thanks for continuing to hang with me while I work on my site speed!
I have been sneaking in a few evening reading session with this Danielle Steel book, A Perfect Life. {Amazon Affilate Link}
I bought it because the main character is a overworked TV journalist. It was a quick, good read!
Listening…
You know I love me some Kenny Chesney! I adore his new song and this video makes me want to go back to the Bahamas. What a cool sea plane too!
Watching…
I’ve been so busy with the blog, I haven’t had much time to watch TV this month. That’s a good thing because TV is in a serious rut right now! I was so sad the Astronaut Wive’s Club was only a mini series. I should have guesed when they jumped through several years of history in one show.
I did watch this…
The Lifetime Unauthorized Full House Movie. I was THE BIGGEST fan of this show growing up. Any problem could be solved in thirty minutes or less!
Unfortunately this movie was a train wreck that I could not stop watching.
I am anxiously awaiting the new show Fuller House and really hoping its good.
Please don’t judge? 🙂
Wearing…
My denim vest. It's the perfect transition piece for fall. More on that for Fashion Friday!
Anticipating…
All things fall. With yesterdays weather I'm feeling ready to get out the fall decor. It’s time… maybe this weekend.
Eating…
I’ve busted out the crock pot and made a new batch of this tomato soup. It’s so easy, still feels a little summery, but is still perfect for fall.
Indulging…
Does watching that terrible Full House movie count as an indulgence?
If not… Ritas.
I’ve got to get my fix in for the season.
Praying…
My dear friend Melanie is on this list every time. She is rocking her stem cell transplant in Chapel Hill. It’s been filled with lots of ups and downs, but overall the transplant is taking and it is going as well as can be expected.
The hubs and I have flown down to visit her a few times. This past time we brought our God daughter Isabella back to Asheville so she could go to school during the week. She is such a joy!
Dreaming…
Of beach sunsets. I live to see views like this.
I hope your week is off to a great start! Tomorrow I’m talking about sidelining meat this football season with appetizers perfect for the next game. Don’t miss it!
And of course, have a Marvelous Monday! Thanks for the linkup Katie.
Your turn!
What are you currently doing…?
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
Wait...a new Full House show? What what?!
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
OMG, the Full House movie? I had no idea there was such a thing! And there is a new show coming out? What what?!
JulieWunder says
I know! It's this bad unauthorized movie-- but I kind of loved it.
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
There's a lifetime movie about full house? WHAT?! I need to watch it - I don't care how bad it is! haha - Sending good vibes to Melanie!
JulieWunder says
That's how I felt! My Brother (we obviously watched it together all the time) called to tell me I must watch it! I found it on demand.
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I'm getting a lot of "encouragement" to move my blog to Word Press...but oh, the work! The revamping...the learning curve....
JulieWunder says
You should do it!!!! Your blog is great!!!!
Farrah says
Someday, I hope to have the resolve to work through my old blog posts and fix em' up. But now is not that time. x_x That soup looks delicious, and oh em gee, that beach sunset is gorgeous!
Sending lots of good thoughts to Melanie! <3
JulieWunder says
So much time! I've barely made a dent in the content! I spent a lot time re-categorizing because my old categories didn't make a lot of sense!
Mandy Smith says
I can't wait for Fuller House to air! I heard it was going to be a Netflix only series. I recorded the Unauthorized Full House... Haven't watched it yet.
My 9 year old had been watching Full House. She's as obsessed as I was. Makes my heart smile.
JulieWunder says
Say what? I'm going to have to get Netflix then... checking on it!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
Oh my gosh, I heard that the Full House movie was awful, thanks for confirming it! That's so disappointing! I loved that show growing up!
JulieWunder says
Haha! Leave it to me to pick and watch the worst thing on TV. I have terrible taste in movies too 😉
Runaway Bridal Planner says
Such a cute denim vest, I was just thinking the other day I needed to break out my denim stuff again:)
Okay, so I am a huge Kenny fan, I love Kenny, love that song too! Although I hadn't seen that video until just now. I saw him in concert in August and I could seriously go to more, he's awesome!
I didn't catch the LIfetime movie, but ya I am very much looking forward to the new full house:) I grew up on that show after school!
JulieWunder says
Oh!!! I've seen him twice and loved every minute of it! Did you see he's touring with Miranda and Sam Hunt next?
Dani @ Dani California Cooks says
I am loving your denim vest!!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Dani!
Jess @hellotofit says
I'm excited for all things fall now, too! The weather temps have officially dropped to fall-appropriate numbers.
JulieWunder says
It's really pretty outside! I hope you are having a great week!
Cailee says

JulieWunder says

This past weekend surely felt like fall.
Love the denim vest over the dress.
We celebrated my grandson's first birthday celebration

JulieWunder says
Happy Birthday to him! It was a pretty day!
Jamie says
Sending lots of positive vibes your friends way! I am totally digging this fall weather and the lack of humidity. Although it happened overnight (or so it seemed) I'm really happy to be back running in cooler temperatures 🙂 Hope you have a fabulous Monday!
JulieWunder says
It did seem to happen so quickly this year! I kind of wanted to squeeze a week or two of summer out of the year!
Mary Beth Jackson says
