So I got stung by a wasp..... I never have before I think I was more shocked than in pain. I have like this bump on my knuckle where it stung me. I loathe wasps but at least I didn't have an allergic reaction. I'm still grateful and fortunate because it was just a baby wasp too.

Im writing all the time now. I have a deadline that I made for myself. I can't wait to share my 1st published book. I have so many plans and hopes. I see so much potential in this series.

I'm still losing weight but I was hoping to be my goal weight by now. I'll still work on it. Im making a promise to myself that I will hit it by December. I'm not spending another year unhappy with my size.

Financially it's been a struggle. Had to pawn my banjo. I was devastated. I could cry more because I don't know when we can get it out. Something is better on the horizon. I'm positive. I'm still looking for a job but I haven't heard anything back. I been looking since April. 😔 If all goes well with my book then I can be closer to what job aligns with my purpose. Until then finding any job to get some more money coming in is my best option.

I'll have more updates soon. Gonna query soon like I said in a post prior! Wish me luck ×4. Goodnight ladybugs and I hope your dreams come true as well!

[kimiehashobbies]

Just be fair!

Good morning Ladybugs,

I hope your weekend was well and I hope your morning has been smooth. I'm finally moving on to my second writing project. I'm looking into querying soon. My fitness journey is on going, I'll update that. My banjo and song writing has been on hold but I'm working on a schedule that I'm hoping will get me back on track. My goal is 2 songs this year. Which I know isn't a lot but I already have so much writing and other things. Any progress is progress no matter how small. Just remember that anything worth doing takes time and as long as you are doing something toward that goal you've already succeeded. Im also going to start back drawing daily. I wanted to come out with my first comic this year and idk about that. I will say I did draw the cute little characters so it's progress!

Let me know what your plans are for yourself. The year is halfway over let's continue to meet these goals.

Hey there ladybugs,

Just a thought about hockey. Corey Pery is my favorite hockey player. He's a cemented veteran. Would love the Oilers to win the cup. However, Rangers had a fierce season and we're defeated by the Panthers. Its hard to say which I would cheer on more. I'm going to say Panthers winning wouldn't surprise me but I'd love Corey Perry to win. He's contract to contract and a veteran, his retirement is looming. Good luck to the Oilers. Very good hockey season all and all. Rangers will win next year for sure though!

It was an amazing season Rangers. That's OK, we will go the distance next year. Damn...

Listen ladybugs,

RC Cola is superior. No arguments accepted. You cannot change my mind. RC Cola is the best soda. It's got the crisp of a Coca-Cola but the smoothness of the pepsi. Less sweet than a Pepsi and less harsh than a Coca-Cola. It's number 1 but have it with a banana moon pie. Baby that is a cheat treat. Once a month when I meet those goals, it's a bedtime snack. Sorry this isn't opinion it's a fact to me.

👋🏾 ladybugs,

All hobby updates:

Im not going to put any short stories on here anytime soon. I'm writing something right now and I need to put all my energy into that for now. It's not saying I never will, just for now I have other goals. I already have my next 6 writing projects lined up. I'm going to see those to completion before anything else.

My banjo practice has been heavy on the music theory studying. I'm going to be learning some songs. I'd love to do some covers. I have some original song ideas as well. I wrote like a verse for a song idea and a chorus for a different song idea. That's musically what I have in the works. I'm prioritizing banjo and writing. These are things im doing daily, they make me the happiest right now.

I also have not been working on my comic strip. I still firmly have 4 ideas for different comics. I want to share my first one because I've been working on it since January but it's not ready. I'm not going to set a date with this because it's a passion project that I value it being made to my standards more than validation now. (Honestly even this tumblr is a passion project no one has found me or like me enough yet, but I know the right ppl will, thank you to the few ppl that have engaged with me!) I hope this year I can get it to my standards. We will see!

My comic book idea is still firm, I'm actually writing on that but haven't been practicing the drawing portion. I still haven't decided if I'm going to figure out how to do a Kickstarter to hire an illustrator. Right now I'm loving the idea of me writing and drawing my own comic hero. She's so cool I can't wait to share her. My art in general is mainly just focused on the strips and book but I am going to expand eventually when i am confident in my skill. Art is going to be an ongoing thing and playing with different mediums as well. I am doing colored pencils and watercolor pencils for the time being.

My casual hobbies are taking a backseat. I'm still going to be making felt dolls and crocheting it's just going to be a whenever im between other more pressing hobbies.

I've written 2 poems so far. I had a few more written but I didn't like them enough to count it toward a book. So its 2 poems I am proud to potentially share. I need to look up how many poems in a standard poetry book. That's something I'll try to work towards. A poem a week. It will be mainly sonnets. This will definitely be self published. It's going to be deeply personal.

My fitness is ongoing and I always update about that seperately. When I actually become a Barre Fitness Instructor I probably will switch to vlogging. I love barre and I really hope that more ppl try it. It has a lot in common with pilates if you enjoy that. It just adds more dance and stretch. I finally checked out pilates to see what it's about. I still like barre more.

It's hockey season my fav team (NY Rangers) is number 1 in the league right now so I'm also watching the games if you want to talk about hockey. I'm not like too much into sports but I'm looking forward to that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight coming up. Watching movies and some TV shows is going to give me more things to talk about than sports admittedly. I'll be blogging about "The Bear" when that's back on for sure.

Let me know what hobbies you have or what you are passionate about. I loved the anonymous question I recieved. Realized I consume a lot of dairy in the winter..... I love to bake so I'm going to look up a potato pasties recipe and see if I can create it. Can't find a place that has them where I live! Thanks again whoever asked me this question. I hope you make an account or engage again.

I hope your day was great and your evening even better to all ladybugs and non ladybugs.

Hey Ladybugs,

Tough topic that I wanted to touch on a little. TW: Depression

So I don't have a clinical diagnosis yet. I know it's what I have though. I start thinking thoughts that just make me feel hopeless out of nowhere. I'm luckily functional sort of because I can take care of very basic things. I'll go through cycles where I can't get my mind to clean or anything more than cooking for my family. Even that task is super daunting. I want to tell anyone out there that I understand. I struggle with self harming thoughts, not every time but sometimes. Luckily no thoughts like that this time.

I'm cleaning again and smiling again. I'm able to navigate my highs and lows without medicine. My suspicion is that I will need the diagnosis and medication eventually for my betterment. Until I get to that point though I manage. I just want you to know that you too will smile again. Maybe you are better at house chores than me but if you can relate, I want to tell you that you will clean again too! I'm taking it room by room, day to day. That's life and it's OK to not be OK sometimes. It's important to seek help when you need it.

I hope you have a great evening! 😊 I'm watching more studio Ghibli again. I'm looking forward to telling yall what I thought about my first time watches like my last post about this. I have watched 3 more films already gonna watch 2 more then sum it up in a post!

Ladybugs good evening!!!

I tried another flavor from Superstition Meadery. It has a very low alcohol percentage. So if you're not much of a drinker like me it's perfect. It's a hard cider. Blueberry Spaceship Box is the name. I give it a firm 9 out of 10. Its delicious it's not sweet, it's like a cider so it has a sour note. I'm going to have a picture below like I had last time. This probably won't even get you buzzed. It did nothing for me. I only had one cup of it. I think you can drink the whole bottle and it won't do much. I don't recommend drinking the whole bottle though! Don't do that please. 🥴

This ain't a sponsored post I'm new to blogging so I just want to be clear. All opinions are mine and I'm just a regular lady that wants to share my thoughts. I also inserted their website. They sell it at the liquor stores near me but idk what you might have in your area.

If you give it a try, please let me know what you think.

Hey Ladybugs,

Im finally feeling like myself again. I have so many updates. May starts a new month so let me set my intentions and give an update on a couple different things. For this post it will only be about my fitness. This helps me stay accountable.

Update for my fitness journey. I initially was not losing weight only inches. I still continued my calorie deficit and my workouts. I will be honest I do not work out when I'm on my monthly. My new intentions with my fitness goals are that I will start working out weekly regardless. I've been using that week as an excuse and I'm holding myself accountable. I'm finally starting to see the scale go down! I'm averaging 2 pounds a week. I want it to be a little more like 4 pounds. I think I can achieve more if I work out harder than I have been. I don't push myself very hard. I just quit the workout when I get sweaty and a little sore. I think pushing myself will get me better results.

Workout Plan:

Cardio- 30 minutes

Barre- 30 minute

Stretch- 30 minutes

Calisthenics- pushup and ab variations

I want to be doing Lyra (aerial hoop) next year at some point so it's important for me to build arm and core strength. I'm using calisthenics to condition myself to be strong enough. Using stretch as well to condition because flexibility is very important in aerial arts.

I still very much would love to become a Barre Fitness Instructor. I would like to make progress in this regard after I feel like I have a personal handle on my personal fitness. I'll check back in September. I really want to meet my fitness goal by September. I initially said August but we will see.

Anyone have any fitness questions or tips to give me please feel free. I love talking to folks.

Tornado season is so stressful. Ladybugs I just want to go to sleep. Nothing close to me so lets hope it stays that way. Goodnight. Stay safe.

[kimiehashobbies]

Hey Kimmie, I like your blog. You're a good writer.

What are your favorite seasonal foods? I love shrimp gumbo on Mardi Gras, popsicles in the summer, apple cider in the fall, and potato pasties in the winter.

Seasonal foods? That's a fantastic question! I never thought about this honestly. I love love winter its my favorite season. So winter it's several things soups (too many to name), peppermint ice cream, and egg nog. Fall, thanksgiving dressing(trying to find a vegetarian recipe im newly pescatarian). Spring, strawberry banana smoothies, I also love to put strawberries in a salad. Summer-Pineapple snowcone w/dole whip.

Thanks for the question I truly loved it. Never been asked and never had potato pasties. I'm gonna try them in the winter! I love potatoes. **Apple cider is one of my fall favorites too, it's overlooked because nasty pumpkin spice.

❤️

hello!! hope you got to see the rangers/caps game today, it was great!!!!! have a great week!

Omg! I actually didn't get to watch but I saw clips and such a good start. Did you get to watch?

[kimiehashobbies]

Hey so just a quick check in ladybugs,

It's Sunday and as I prepare for another week I realized..... I'm spending way too much time on social media. I'm going to check in on tumblr Wednesday but not social media all week. I want to see how much personal goals I achieve without distractions. I have a lot of hobbies and I'm choosing to focus my energy on these things. Regular banjo practice, finishing my first book, learning music theory, my fitness journey and my self care routine has kind of gotten lost.

Let me know if you've done a social media cleanse too or if it's something you engage with too often. Oh I also have another studio Ghibli review batch to put up. I'll just do 2 posts on Wednesday. I hope your week is fantastic!

Hey Ladybugs,

So watched Dreamville Festival for two days and I'm so happy. Im very grateful for JCole's artistry. He seems like an amazing man. Don't know him personally but, if his music is a reflection of him then I will stay cheering for him. He reminds me of one of the most important things about life: always trying to be aligned with yourself. Always growing and trying to be better. He apologized tonight for his part in negativity. I'll always respect a man when he tries to be better. I'm a big fan and my heart is full of love/admiration! J Cole will always be my favorite rapper. I strive to be like this, always trying to connect with my higher self. Im not this mature yet but I will be working on this. Only following what feels like the right path for me. Always trying to extend grace and stay positive. I honestly don't think he was necessarily wrong in his criticism of Kendrick but I also know I hate feeding negativity too. I respect not wanting to play into negativity but I also know that he deserved to respond. Let me know if you have thoughts on this or if you also are a J Cole fan.

Peace and love to you all goodnight!😇🥰
