Keeping it Wilson

 The Four Tendencies I'm not good with one liners. I know what you're thinking... Anna, you're married.. you don't need one liners, but with blogging you want to be creative with one liners because the blog titles need to be poppin'! I'll be honest, I stink at coming up with a funny title. I can quickly think of something to write about, but that title though!!!!!!! Today I am going to be talking about a book that I've been meaning to talk about for a while! In order to introduce the book I need to talk about Podcasts. For a while I was really interested in Podcasts. Recently with lessened free time, my interest has decreased, but with Podcasts, my addiction rises and then plummets... it's like a teenage relationship. While listening to a Podcast titled Happier by Gretchen Rubin she mentioned a quiz which tied into her book The Four Tendencies. Pretty much the quiz places you into one of four specific personalities. I took the quiz...

You probably don't know this, but I am sick!!! On Tuesday I woke up with a sore throat and thought that I was fine. I decided to go to work and by the end of my shift I got into the car and had really bad body pains, a headache, I was light headed, having chills, and honestly I felt like I had been run over by a bus.. Not fun!! While driving home I had to keep telling myself "You can do this!!!" I had to say that quite a few times since the rush hour drive from center city to Jenkintown was about an hour. I got home, and let's just say things got worse. I tried taking a bath, that helped for a minute, and then I laid in bed until Josh got home. My fever was over 102 and a few decimals! Luckily I have a great husband and he bought me a coke and one of those gas stations milkshakes that your parents never let you get when you were younger! I know this is probably not the healthiest but the caffeine helped with my head, and the milkshake helped cool my over heating body!...

When I think of showering or bathing, I always think of the song Rubber Ducky, You're the One! Would the current generation of children even recognize that song?! Do you remember what the song is from? I also always think of Harry potter!! What exactly is the function or a rubber duck!!!?? Such a valid question! Now that I shower at night, my showering routine has changed a ton! Before I was working I would take my dear sweet time and shower in the morning. Now showering at night is how I star my bedtime routine (which sadly starts at like 7:30!) In my defense though, I have to wake up at 5:00am! Since I've been trying out some new products recently, I thought I would notify you guys on what products I do use in the shower!? Is that TMI? Honestly... I love knowing these kinds of things about other people. Is that weird? Its like when you go to visit someone you just want to go through all of the drawers and look and see what they have/use! Am I the only one that wants to do...

  Random Thoughts: Do you guys ever feel like you've hit a road block!? I'm slightly feeling this way about my blog right now! (Do not worry though, I will continue to write). I have been brainstorming recently on what I should write, and I've literally been drawing a blank. I have started three blog posts, partially written them, and then realized that I'm not passionate about that specific topic! I like writing about anything and everything, but I also realize that no one is going to read something that is based on random things. I feel like I probably need to get my stuff together and create some kind of theme for a weekly blog post. Some of the topics that I really enjoy are 1. cooking 2. books 3. beauty 4. nerdy things 5. T.V/Movies 6. writing in my journal and countless other topics! My problem is that if I just continue writing random things, then I'm not going to have continuity in what I'm writing..... and then people may lose interest in the blog...

  Granola: The Addiction If any of you know me well, you know I like to try new recipes! A few months ago I decided to try and make some Granola because Josh and I love to eat it and it seemed so easy. You could look up any recipe on Pinterest, but some of those granola recipes get rather tedious, so I found the simplest recipe on Pinterest and tweaked it for what I wanted! Underneath this paragraph is the image that I follow off of Pinterest. After you look at the image, check out the other renditions/add ins that I put into my granola! BTW: No one has tried my granola and said that it was not good! Let me know if you try the recipe and what variations you do! My Changes Oil Base: I have tried this recipe using butter/coconut oil and both are fabulous! It is definitely not as healthy with butter, but if you like the rich flavor that butter gives, then you will love it as your oil base. When you use butter the granola seriously tastes like pie crust! I lik...

  Wasting Time on You...Tube! I don't know about all of you, but I can waste a lot of time on YouTube!! With the number of people that are putting videos up on YouTube, there is definitely something out there for everyone. I've been an avid user of YouTube since I was in middle school, so I would consider myself to be somewhat of an expert! Obviously not everyone will enjoy the channels that I like, but who knows... maybe we watch some similar people/channels!!! BTW, I had completely finished this post and right as I was going to preview and publish it my computer decided to delete almost all of what I had written! I was devastated. That fiasco is the reason why I did not post a blog last week! I have a goal that I will continue to work hard on my blog despite the craziness of life, so I am happy to be working on this blog again for all of you! Hopefully you enjoy it! Now back to what you are really here for! Let's be honest.... I'm into girly girl things, organi...
