LizzingLife Update: Summer 2019
It has been quite a break from blogging. In 2016 I tried to move everything over to a new LizzingLife website but unfortunately the other web hosting site caused more security issues, image hosting issues, and cost more $ than it was worth. SO, I'm back to the good old tried and true blogger!
I'm currently on FUNemployment. (Having a good time while being unemployed) The last couple years I've been producing different shows for the E! Network. I helped give Fashion Police a proper send off after 7 years (wow), worked again for E! Live Events and helped create two new shows within the E! family: Look Book and LadyGang. This is my hiatus until the next project comes along.
Since I usually work my ass off and don't do much else, I think of FUNemployment as the time I can use to catch up on ALL THE THINGS.
Things I've been doing:
Reading: 22 Books and counting.. Book Binges are Back! I have a subscription to Kindle Unlimited this time and I've put a ton of digital books on hold at the library. I'm going to write a couple review posts for the ones I think are worthy of sharing. My Goodreads friends probably hate all my updates!
Knitting: 16 items and counting.. I have a large yarn stash and a lot of time on my hands. I'm building up a collection of warm knit and crochet projects that I'll most likely sell this fall in time for Christmas. Hats, Ear Warmers, Fingerless Mittens, Baby Blankets, Scarves, Baby clothes and I'm going to attempt socks!
Working Out : I had hip surgery in November and I finally have time to finish the rehab I wasn't able to do when my insurance changed. I've been walking with the dog at least a mile every day and going with Farrah to the gym for weight lifting/spin classes.
Puzzling: I've started a new 1000 piece puzzle. I was traumatized by my last two puzzle experiences when I completed one and realized 2 pieces were missing.. then the photo puzzle I ordered was printed wrong and had a whole line through it that didn't match correctly.
Podcast Listening: 8* and counting.. I'm keeping up with LadyGang, Wine & Crime, This Podcast Will Kill You, Stuff You Should Know, Stuff You Missed In History Class, The Chernobyl Podcast, And That's Why We Drink, My Favorite Murder (*multiple episodes of each)
TV Watching: This hasn't been the greatest time to be FUNemployed, I keep feeling like there's nothing on TV worth watching but I did enjoy Chernobyl on HBO and I'm currently watching Big Little Lies and Handmaids Tale.. as well as some reality tv binge watching: Building Off the Grid being my current obsession.
What I'm not doing:
Travelling: This makes me really sad, even though I have time to go everywhere, I have money to go Nowhere. However, I went on about 6 more trips in Europe and Southeast Asia I never got to write about that I'll start posting here soon! So many photos to go through!
Working: I was steadily employed (sometimes overlapping jobs) for the past 3 years so I was a little relieved to have a break. Obviously, I was ready to get back to work after about a week off (because I'm a masochist) so I'm keeping my To-Do list pretty packed in the hopes that as soon as I have a full schedule, I'll land a job that gives me time to do none of it. Sounds strange but it usually works.
More posts to come!
