How did Mother's Day weekend turn out for you? I got to spend Saturday with my mom, not actual "Mother's Day", but it still works! I'm still feeling out of sorts with not having to worry about anything related to college right now! Each day I feel like I'm missing something and with this newfound free time, I've been super unproductive (go figure!). I need to find a coffee shop or co-working space (for free) with good wifi in my town back home. I tried working at my local library earlier this week and it literally took 5 minutes for 1 photo to get downloaded from my Dropbox to edit...did not work! There aren't many close by places in this rural area of NJ to hang out in, unless I want to drive 30 minutes.
We'll figure something out (probably by the time summer is over and it's back to school!) There actually is a real "co-working" office space in my town, but it costs way too much money for an individual food blogger and freelancer to afford (haha!) Any ideas...let me know! On to the Friday Finisher!
