SUNDAY SNAPSHOTS
PERSONAL AND BLOGGING NEWS
Whew! It was a really busy week for me personally! I helped my mom move so that was a huge time suck! We also called a ton of doctors and made appointments. Further, I has some applications to fill out! Then something came up last minute and drained all of my time. I still managed to attend my city’s Geek Girl Brunch,, though, so I ended the week on a fun note and met some great new friends!
Okay. Blogging news. Before I forget–some changes to the blog! You may have noticed that this past week there was no posts for The Travel Guide and The Costume Chest. Have no fear, they aren’t disappearing! Instead, I’m reformatting scheduling! From now on, The Travel Guide and The Costume Chest will be posted on alternating weeks! So it will go a little something like this:
Week 1: The Travel Guide
Week 2: The Costume Chest
Week 3: The Travel Guide
Week 4: The Costume Chest
And so on and so forth!
Moving on, it was a pretty good week in blogging. I had a really fun time taking part in Armchair BEA 2016 (my first time)! Other than that event, though, it was really chill. Just the normal routine that keeps the log running smoothly!
This upcoming week, I haven’t got much planned for the blog, but I do have to do a lot of reading for tours so I’ll be getting to that. But that’s it! What fun stuff do y’all have planned for the week? Anything you’re excited about? Anyone preparing for The 100‘s finale? Tell me all about it in the comments!
Over And Out!
Ooh great collection of links. I’m definitely going to check a bunch of them out 🙂
thanks! hope you enjoy!
