Weekend Wrap-Up: June 9, 2019

What a week! I’ve had such a busy last few days, but I can’t complain about much other than this stupid muscle in my neck/shoulder I pulled. D:

I’ve started my third and fourth current jobs recently, and I finally feel like I sort of know what I’m doing with them, which is pretty great! One of them involves handling the social media posting & blogs for 4 different photography brands (all are amazing, my boss is INCREDIBLY talented!), and the other is as a photobooth attendant for events – weddings, corporate, birthdays, etc. I’ve made it through training and have my first solo event this upcoming week – it’s a 13 year old’s 80s hair metal themed birthday party, so I am EXCITED! 😀 Some of the pictures below are from my last wedding event – they fed me tacos!!! I love tacos so much, omg. Best wedding food!

Aside from that, I had a slight stall to my outgoing Etsy orders these last 2 weeks – first an issue with printing, and then an issue with supplies required to actually send them out! I’ll have everything I need by the end of this week (and will be tossing in some free stuff to thank people for their patience).

I have a couple days off toward the end of this next week, so I’m hoping I’ll get through some of the titles I have on my current TBR (I’m in the middle of 4 books, oops!), and get a few reviews posted/scheduled.

The only other exciting thing I can think of is that THE NEW EXPANSION FOR SIMS 4 WAS REVEALED AT E3!! We’re getting Island Living this month, which I’m super excited about, and more stuff throughout the year. I’m still waiting on a University expansion, but I’ll just cross my fingers for something announced in late 2019 / early 2020. 🤞

What I Watched:

🌈 Always Be My Maybe (Netflix) – I don’t normally watch romantic type movies, but the trailer for this one made me laugh and my boss recommended it, so I gave it a shot. It’s so cute! I loved it and keep telling people to watch it. (Go now!)

🌈 Charmed (Netflix) – I used to rush home from high school every afternoon to catch the latest episodes of Charmed, so I’m obviously a big fan of the original. I’ve even been rewatching it lately with my roommate, since he’s never seen the whole thing! Naturally, I was wary of the remake – but it’s actually pretty entertaining. There are some heavy handed bits of social commentary, but after watching the recent Sabrina show, I feel like I’ve seen it handled worse, so I don’t mind it at all!

🌈 Hitman 2 (Steam)

🌈 Overwatch (Battle.net)
