Apparently you guys enjoy the all over the place posts, so I guess I’ll keep ‘em coming!
(I like them too – they remind me of what makes blogging such a fun outlet.)
Let’s see…
1) I’ve started using Twitter again. Sort of. I’m trying to, at least. I didn’t really think anyone still used it, but it seems they do! You can follow me @alagracie, if you’d like.
2) Speaking of social media, I’ve been really fascinated about how Instagram seems to be becoming the new blog. Anyone else notice that? It makes sense, since Instagram is so much easier to post on, follow, and more interactive in a sense. Guess I had better step up my Insta-game…
3) Over the past month or so I’ve been working on simplifying my life. I do this thing where I’m constantly overcommitting myself (sometimes to others’ projects, but mostly to my own). I definitely love working on multiple things at a time because I do tend to get bored easily, but I’m finding what my healthy balance looks like when it comes to how many projects I can actually manage at any given time.
4) I love watching the news, and I watch it often. Not knowing what’s going on in the world makes me feel dumb.
5) I’m in PA for a few days. I always feel a sense of guilt when I come here – like I should be “braving” the city more. But the truth is that I need to escape and go back to the simple life from time to time, and that’s been more common lately (I go through phases). But instead of feeling bad about it, I’ve learned how to embrace it and be thankful that I have jobs that allow me to do that.
6) I’m going to be the most stereotypical blogger ever right now and share the awesome bowl of oatmeal I had for breakfast yesterday. It included almond milk, cinnamon, sliced banana, walnut butter, and some mixed nuts. I forgot how cozy and comforting oatmeal is.
7) I also made this lil’ snack plate, which I thought was cute. It included strawberries, Mary’s crackers, hummus, and some coconut dark chocolate.
8) I just referred to my food as cozy and cute. I’m such a girl.
9) I’m so glad that hip thrusts are the new squats, except for the fact that they’re called hip thrusts.
10) It’s almost creepy how perfect daily devotionals can be exactly what you need on given day. Maybe creepy is the wrong word but…you know what I mean.
11) As I proofread this post, I had to delete about 10 “reallys.” Apparently I really really REALLY like to use to the word really.

Do you (still) use Twitter? Let me know your handle and I’ll follow you 
Which word do you overuse?
I always WANT to use Twitter more, but lately it seems I just use it to link to my blog posts. Guess I’m waiting till I have something interesting to say before I tweet.
@ElizBethW
following!
I probably overuse “dude”!! What a cali girl.
I’m @fiercetyper on Twitter
I need to Tweet more. I mostly use it to follow comedians!!
I totally use twitter! I am @Cheri_Angela, and I would love to tweet chat with you!
And the word I overuse is “literally”. I use it for everything, and it’s amazing and I’m surprisingly unashamed at how much I use it!
following!
i overuse literally too, haha
I’ve definitely been working on simplifying! Things have just gotten way to crazy with moving, wedding planning, work, blogging, and everything else I’ve raised my hand to do!
I (really) love your all-over-the-place posts. Definitely keep them coming. My Twitter handle is @TravellingCats
I’ll go over there right now and follow you too.

That oatmeal looks fantastic!
I’m on twitter @kalolainastar - your snack plate looks pretty delicious! I like watching the news too, and watch it pretty much every day.
Love posts like these! They are some of my favorite to read and write! I’m obsessed with snack plates right now! I love Twitter for many reasons, but a main one is that I’m kind of a comedy nerd, and there are some comedians on there with absolutely hilarious twitter accounts that I love following! My twitter is @jenna__holly
I just started using twitter again with my business partner (@soulsoiree). It’s fun to be connected to different articles and inspirational and motivational quotes!
Love the daily devotional … maybe divine is a better word than creepy? But it’s still creepy when that happens!
haha yes, divine is the word I was looking for 😉
I find twitter hard to follow at times because I’m a visual learner. Instagram is much more engaging/interesting for me, and your snack plate looks yummy

I’m obviously super behind on life but I just recently embraced world of Twitter and am hooked! I totally get it now…
I actually recently started watching the news every morning as well, only because my TV automatically starts on channel 1 whenever I turn it on, which features the NYC news. Good for us though
@jessigreenny
haha - just thought Id get involved
you never use twitter!!!!!!!!!!
I’m on Twitter (@enchantette), but I mostly use it just to update others on new posts. I feel like I should be more engaged in social media, but I don’t really know what to post 😛
I do try to use Twitter: @stefunnee8 I haven’t gotten onto the Instagram bandwagon, but I’m sure that will be next! I caved on Pinterest, might as well feed the entire social monster!
I offered to proofread a paper someone was writing for school and couldn’t believe how often she used, “just.” I just had to tell her that I couldn’t justify her using the word just unjustly. haha
#10 is so true! God gives us what we need, when we need it but I am still continually shocked. How can my devotional be so applicable every day? It’s an awesome gift from God!
Oatmeal is my absolute fav.
@kels_yoki
I am always trying to get better at using Twitter, but usually just go on it to read tweets instead of sending out my own. And yes - Instagram is like a secondary blog…love that idea!
