Sunday Social : All about Bloggin'

It's time for Sunday Social! I hope all of you had an amazing weekend...where the heck did it go?!

1. What is the name of your blog and how did you come up with it? The name of my blog is Aimee's World and I came up with that just because I knew I wanted this blog to just be about my life, my experiences, and just me...so it literally is Aimee's World! 

2. What do you love the most about blogging? I love meeting new people and building relationships with other bloggers. I feel like some of my future best friends can come from blogging and I feel like a lot of us keep the drama at bay for the most part so I'm not getting sucked into it like my real life friends a lot of the time. 

3. What are your 2 favorite posts you've written? 

1. My Testimony

2. 21 in 21

4. What is something you'd want to tell someone just starting out in blog world? Considering I'm new to the blogging world I would say keep your head up. Don't let a nasty comment keep you from blogging just keep pushing through and ignore them. Blogging is like therapy and the beauty of it is you will make a ton of blogging friends, just not over night. Along with that I would have to say reach out to other bloggers. Big or small. Just step out on a limb and get to know people!  

5. Biggest blogging learning experience you've had? To really be kind to other bloggers and encourage them. I think I learned this most through the Blog Angel program. Encouragement is like gold to other bloggers!  

6. Give us 3 blogs we NEED to be following that you love.
1. AunieSauce <--- Love her blog. She's got so much inspiration over there and her engagement story made me cry this morning. GO READ IT!
2. From Mrs to Mama <--- Girlfriend is the cutest pregnant woman ever. I love Becky...all her posts are so grounded and really relatable. And I really love how honest she is and how much she talks about real life. 
3. I Heart Organizing <---If you're into organizing or you're on a kick to get organized visit this blog. It has some great projects and inspiration.  

Sunday Social : All About the Internet

Hey y'all! Can anyone believe how fast the weekend went? Seriously, tomorrow is Monday and then it's back to work. Anyways, I'm linking up with Neely and Ashley again today for Sunday Social! Go link up too! I love reading Sunday Social posts!  
1. What is the first website you log on to each day? Swagbucks, which is a website that you can search from and earn "swagbucks" to redeem for prizes such as Amazon gift cards and Paypal cash. Then probably Gmail!

2. Give us some funny websites you visit that we need to know about... I don't usually even go to funny website cause a lot of the times I don't have the time to sit on them for four hours! But when I do I really love these two!
-Damn You Autocorrect
-Some Ecards

3. Pinterest or Facebook? Why? Pinterest most definitely! Facebook anymore is just a drama house and I just have a personal facebook. I don't have a facebook for my blog and I usually don't like other bloggers facebook pages because it just fills up my newsfeed with things I already read on their blogs! I  
like Pinterest because it lets me be creative and imaginative :)
  

4. Twitter or Instagram? Why? I honestly like both. I really like Instagram to keep up with my family long distance but twitter is nice to just read little blurbs about whats going on here and there! 

5. Favorite youtube video...post it! Beware it has a few cuss words in it! But whenever I'm having a bad day I ALWAYS watch this and it makes my day so much better! I even have a shirt with this little girl on it that says "Where's the Rent?!"

6. Biggest online pet peeve? I'm sure half the people who link up to Sunday Social today will probably say this but it's definitely talking about people behind their back over the internet. Whether you do it as yourself or whether you make a fake name to do it. Just don't. If y'all really have something to say about someone do it one on one to their face. It just disgusts me what online bullying has come to these days! 

Sunday Social : Food

Hey y'all! Well it's one in the morning so I figured I would link up with Neely this week for Sunday Social. I just got done watching a movie on Lifetime, I'm not too sure what it was called but I don't think I'll ever sleep again. It was about a little girl that was taken from her mother when she was three by a woman who's daughter drowned when she was little. That woman buried her daughter in an unmarked grave and stole the little girl. It was crazy, as are most Lifetime movies. Lanta!

This week's Sunday Social is all about FOOD! Who doesn't love blogs about food? Exactly, no one on the planet!

1. If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be? Honestly, I'm really not 100% sure. I don't think it's humanly possible for me to eat one thing forever. I get random cravings all. the. time. So I would say it would have to be a collection of cheesecake, pasta, grilled chicken, fruits, and vegetables!

2. What's your guilty pleasure or comfort food? I would have to say anything greasy or anything sweet. Sometimes I really crave a cheeseburger from Bogey's. I'm so sorry you guys don't know what Bogey's is since it is just a place here in my town...but they have AMAZING food. Sweet Potato Fries, y'all. It doesn't get much better than that. If I'm in a really crap mood I'll usually go for ice cream or chocolate to make me feel better. It all depends on my mood.

3. What's the weirdest/craziest thing you've ever eaten? I'm also not much of a person for "weird" food. I will tell you that my food absolutely cannot touch when it's on my plate. Holy disgusting. I also hate, hate, hate ketchup and mayonnaise. So I guess most people think it's "weird" that I eat most things plain, without condiments.

4. What foods do you avoid at all costs? Mayonnaise, Ketchup, BBQ, Fruit in syrup, and cottage cheese. NASTY.

5. What meal reminds you of your childhood? Shepherd's pie. Salmon patties. Bologna Boats. Yum, Yum, Yum.

6. Share one of your favorite recipes and the story behind it. Well I would say my apple pie but that is a recipe only I know...so I can't share that with you :( Sorry dolls. But I will tell you about kolaches. Kolaches are a Czechoslovakian/Bohemian pastry my family makes in honor of our heritage. They are kind of like a jelly roll only better. It's a dough with whatever kind of filling you want in the middle and then a topping that is kind of like powdered sugar. My personal favorite are poppyseed. I don't have our family recipe to these but I'll link one similar here.
P.S. Don't forget to enter my back to school essentials giveaway here. Happy Sunday y'all!

Sunday Social : Fall Favorites!

Is it seriously August 5 already? School starts in two weeks, gag me! But for the time being, it's about time for another Sunday Social with Neely and Ashley! I think this is probably my favorite link up for the simple fact that it is always different! Plus I feel like I learn a lot about the other bloggers who are participating just by their answers!
1. What is your favorite fall activity? I would have to say my fave activity for fall is decorating the house! I think it is so fun to get pumpkins and decorate them and to have cute leaves everywhere! Plus I really love the colors of fall. 2. Do you follow a football team? If so which one and why? Duh! I love football, (it's probably my second favorite activity of fall.) I of course follow my high school football's team from the school I graduated, probably because Richard played varsity there and I went to all his games so it just stuck. And then I watch NFL like it's outta control. My family is football obsessed. My dad and older brother have season tickets to the Kansas City Chiefs so they are always either at a game or watching one. I personally follow the Miami Dolphins! I don't know why I love that team so much but since I was little I have always loved them and it just stuck!

3. What is something fun about fall in your area? I love the spirit people get into about football here. It is like a way of life around here and if your kid is in football people just get so wrapped up in it. It's a tradition for the senior girls at my school to paint their stomachs for our cross-town rivalry game. The other team's senior boys wear kilts and paint themselves too. Before all the football games they always have a huge cookout with tailgating and after the games the drumline plays outside the stadium for the fans. It's just a really fun experience. 

4. What are your favorite fall outfit staples?  1. Oversized sweaters. image via 2. Colored tights. image via 3. The color mustard. dress shoes 4. Slouchy boots. image via 5. Scarves. image via 5. What are you looking forward to most about the upcoming fall season? I'm most certainly ready for the weather to cool down. A 70 degree day sounds absolutely amazing. I detest winter and love heat but Kansas is in such a drought right now and we really need a break. I'm also looking forward to the leaves changing color, it's one of my absolute favorite things about fall.  6. What is your favorite fall holiday? Do you have any traditions? I would have to say Thanksgiving. My family usually tries to go out to eat on Thanksgiving (obviously that is like really ludicrous, so I talk them into making dinner.) Most of the time I will cook the full meal for dinner and we just hangout. If my family isn't doing anything I will go over to Richard's for their Thanksgiving. The only tradition we have is putting up the Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving!  What are your favorite parts about fall? 

Sunday Social

Hey Hey Hey! Gosh, three posts in one weekend. I'm gettin' on it! Welp, I'm here to do my first Sunday Social. I meant to link up last week and I just didn't have time to get a post up. Neely from A Complete Waste of Makeup is awesome. I mean she is hilarious, honest, and always brightens my day when I see a new post from her. I just love her. Enough gushing...on to the questions, Aimee.1. What is your dream job? Well, allow me to let you know that I have not a freakin' clue! If the economy didn't royally suck I would say be a wedding shop owner. Buuut, lately I've been wanting to just be a stay at home mommy when I have kids. I have been in college for three years now and I've changed my major five times. Nothing fits. I honestly think I'm meant to not go to college because I really feel like I'm wasting my time.

2. If you had just won the lottery and didn't need to work for money, what would you do with your time? I would blog full time, volunteer, probably still work where I work now because I do love it (it's a dry cleaners), and then I would most definitely help Richard get a car restoration business going since that's what he loves to do. 

3. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Everything. Let's get a little list goin', shall we? A lawyer (thanks to Elle Woods and Legally Blonde), a graphic designer, a wedding dress boutique owner, a pastry chef, a counselor, a youth pastor, a special education teacher, and a no-kill animal shelter organization lady. That about sums it up. Clearly I have no direction in life. 
4. What piece of career advice would you give someone just starting out in your field? Well, I work for a dry cleaner. I work up front with customers checking in clothes, working the register, etc. so I would tell them first you need to be able to deal with problems that the customers have. Be thorough, be patient, and let them know you really care about what's going on. Orrrr you're going to have a hell of a time. 
5. Biggest pet peeves in life, blogging, or work. Let's just list 'em all shall we? In life: rude people, not using your turn signal, drama, living in America and refusing to learn to speak English. In blogging: I really don't have a whole lot other than people commenting and saying "Come check out my giveaway, I'll follow you if you follow me, New follower come follow me!" I'll come follow you if you interest me. Don't shove it down my throat. At work: Probably the biggest is rude customers and after that it all deals with my co-workers...not doing their job, slacking, leaving it for me to do, and last not being able to do anything by themselves! LANTAAAA.

Don't judge me. 

6. Biggest Fears? BUGS, any kind of bugs. Losing someone I love, my beloved kitty running away, and thunderstorms :( 

Well, I feel like that Sunday Social might have been more of a rant than intended but that's okay. Head on over and link up your little bloggies, ladies!
