Friday Finisher 10/2/15

October 2, 2015 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 36 Comments

This was was crazy week! First, I just felt super busy with so many things to get done! School and studying (I had my first math TEST yesterday), too much blog work, trying to get ready for the expo this weekend, working on new recipes (I think I’ve made something with pumpkin every day this week!), okay, so basically it’s just school and blogging, but it’s a lot. You know what else was a bit sad. Now I love coffee, it’s been almost a year and a half since I started drinking it again (even though it kills me), and National Coffee Day was on Tuesday, right? Well, me, the biggest coffee drinker, has her busiest day on Tuesday and has no time to stop for or make coffee. I had NONE! Isn’t that the saddest thing? I made up for it with my pumpkin spice latte cookies and tons of coffee the next day though, don’t worry!

And what’s with the whole annual-October-hurricane/storms on the East Coast? Irene, Sandy, and now this one….I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have a massive snow storm than rain. Rain is so…gloomy. At least snow is a bit brighter ๐Ÿ˜‰ What’s even brighter still is TGIF! So glad this week is over and no matter what happens next, it’s onwards and upwards! Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend (hopefully you don’t get flooded out…) xoxo

    I hope you had fun at the expo! It sounds so cool! In november (I think) there’s a vegan expo in Austria and I’m excited like a little girl to go there. I’ve never been at the expo before but I love getting to know new vegan products and I think it will be perfect ๐Ÿ˜€ You shared so many great links – Thanks for that! ๐Ÿ™‚ I have them all opened in tabs now and read through them later. This weekend I was in Vienna (there was a huge demonstration and concert for the (syrian) refugees) and it was also a great reason to visit my fav vegan burger restaurant and ice cream parlor ๐Ÿ™‚

    YOU BAKED!!!!! OMG this is big!!! I’m pumped! And I cannot wait to hear about the expo! Is it Saturday and Sunday or just tomorrow or what?
    Anyways, love the post about doing what you love and it can still feel like work. Sometimes it freaks me out when blogging starts to feel like work, but really I do think it’s a good thing. It’s important to take yourself seriously if you really want to get anywhere. I hate that saying “Make your hobby your job and you’ll come to hate you hobby”. So instead your supposed to make some random thing you don’t like at all your job? So silly!
    And I love that little chocolate cake because…well…sprinkles! But I’m sure you could’ve guessed that ๐Ÿ˜‰
    And BLOBS!!!
    Have fun at expo, message me afterwards I want to hear all about it ๐Ÿ™‚ xoxo

      I can only go Saturday, but it’s both days!
      Yes! Exactly! You should take your passion and try to make it purposeful and share it with the world, which leads to work, but it challenges you and makes you feel…well…purposeful!
      I want that cake for my birthday….that’s like made for me!!! (Gotta hoard my good sprinelz till ten :P)
