Netflixing, Amazon Instant Video\u2019ing or Hulu +\u2019ing<\/h2>\n

-Frasier, Season 5<\/p>\n

-Downton Abbey, Season 3<\/p>\n

-Grey\u2019s Anatomy, Season 9<\/p>\n

-Scandal, Season 1- 3. Pretty much.<\/p>\n

YouTube\u2019ing<\/h2>\n

\u201cImprovisational Parenting\u201d<\/a>\u00a0by my new friend,\u00a0Arnebya<\/a> I met at Blogher \u201913. She is so. so. funny.\u00a0 So.<\/p>\n

Instacasting<\/h2>\n

Instacast is in my top 10 of all time favorite & useful apps. It allows you to download and manage all your podcasts from your phone. No sync fussing, no cords, no computer. It\u2019s fab.<\/p>\n

My usuals in fairly heavy rotation:<\/p>\n

-TED Talks (audio version only)<\/p>\n

-The Moth Podcast \u2013 RUN, don\u2019t walk to listen to these everyday people share extraordinary self-told stories.<\/p>\n

-This American Life<\/p>\n

-NPR: Fresh Air<\/p>\n

-Radiolab from WNYC<\/p>\n

Of note from this past month:<\/strong><\/p>\n

-From The Moth: Maurice Ashley: Slaying King George. A man recounts his path to becoming the first African American Chess Grandmaster.<\/p>\n

-From NPR Fresh Air: Maria Bamford. \u201cThe comedian\u2019s routines tackle some of the really serious problems she has: OCD, bipolar disorder, suicidal thoughts. But you have to laugh because she\u2019s that funny.\u201d Oh. my. goodness. Laughed till I cried in this one. This woman is hilarious.<\/p>\n

App\u2019ing<\/h2>\n

-I met & fell in love with the Rhonna Designs app this month. Pitter doggone patter. Rhonna does this..<\/p>\n

\"photo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2026and this\u2026<\/p>\n

\"photo-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2026and this\u2026<\/p>\n

\"photo-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rhonna app makes A Beautiful mess app look like a HOT mess.\u00a0 I\u2019m just sayin\u2019, y\u2019all\u2026<\/p>\n

-Donna \u2013 An app to track your calender and schedule & remind you of junk.\u00a0 Verdicts out.\u00a0 I need to figure out if I\u2019m going to be able to integrate it with the calendering system set up at my job.\u00a0 For my personal calender though, it seems useful enough.<\/p>\n

-The First 90 Days \u2013 An app that you read (or watch) a small amount each day which helps you walk through the 1st 90 days at a new job or in a new position. On July 16, I started a new position!<\/a><\/p>\n

Music\u2019ing<\/h2>\n

-Cannot get enough of Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke (I LOVE all his music) & Mirrors by Justin Timberlake.<\/p>\n

Loving<\/h2>\n

-Days at the beach with my boys<\/p>\n

-My new job (squee)!<\/p>\n

Doing<\/h2>\n

-One of my besties came over & helped me transform our our old \u201cbaby room\/nursery\u201d into a Hot Wheels City Scape room for both our boys. Hoping to do a how-we-did-it tutorial-ish post on this later.\u00a0 Note the look on both their faces after we finally let them in after a grueling 48 hr. wait of non-stop \u201cMama, are you done YET?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"photo-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

-I started juicing.\u00a0 More on this later.<\/p>\n

-Starting a proposal for Detroit\u2019s Daughter, the memoir I\u2019ve been plugging away at for the past 8-ish years!<\/p>\n

-Went to Blogher \u201913! Started a new job! Came back from my social media fast! It\u2019s been a BIG month of busy & fruituful transition. I\u2019ve been really, really thankful. God is faithful.<\/p>\n

-Just wrapped up a 10 wk. Bible study at my Church through Beth Moore\u2019s King David, Seeking a Heart Like His <\/a>workbook.\u00a0 It was very good.\u00a0 I believe it was one of the most important investments of my time all summer.\u00a0 I feel rich in knowledge & community.<\/p>\n

\/\/\/\/<\/p>\n

So. What are YOU into. Linking up this week with\u00a0Leigh<\/a> and all the other crew sharing what we\u2019ve been into.<\/p>\n
