Weekly Score: 66.7% (18/27)

Goal 1: Increase my spirituality. 89% (17/19)

Review: I absolutely focused on this one this week, and I'll keep doing it. Things have changed, though - I have kids at home now, and it's a bit frustrating to not have time to myself. However, I might just move everything outside. I want to spend more time outside anyway.

Goal 2: Write a blog article each week. 0%

Review: The worst part about this is that I had an idea, and didn't write it down, and so completely lost it. I'm ready to rip my hair out. That means that I didn't get any of this done, and I'm very disappointed in myself.

Goal 3: Make deck available for use. 50% (1/2)

Review: I am making some definite progress. I spent all of Wednesday working on something else, and that sort of made it impossible to do more on my bedroom. Still, it's actually working, I'm making progress, and I'm really happy about that.

Intentions for the future: G1 - I'm going to take my study materials outside, and work on them there unless it's raining. G2 - I need to get moving on this. I want to do this, and it's just not working well. But I'll come up with a topic and write it. G3 - This week's goal is to delve into the bin with all of my scrapbooking stuff, and see what I can do. This may also include checking online to find places to donate it that will use it.

I went with kinda a Mother theme (if it wasn't obvious) for the characters/"pairings" challenges.

Weekly Score: 60% (15/25)

Goal 1: Increase my spirituality. 68% (13/19)

Review: This week was weird, because my husband was out of town all week. I wanted to get more done than I did. I can only say that I actually improved, so... I did something?

Goal 2: Write a blog article each week. 25% (1/4)

Review: It is hard to get anything written at all, but I got at least one post done. So that's a good thing. Didn't manage the second one.

Goal 3: Make deck available for use. 50% (1/2)

Review: I got something done here, but not as much as I wanted. Still, I feel pretty good about it. I'm just working on the rest of... everything.

Intentions for the future: G1 - I'm going to get to bed earlier, so that I can get up early and do my scripture study and prayer. G2 - I'm going to try to write two posts again this week, with an idea of what I want to write for at least one of them. G3 - I plan to get my projects into the drawers (if they'll fit) and thus out of the way of the door, and I have a bin to empty. If nothing else, I want to move the boxes on top of it so I can get to it.

If you would have told me any point within the last few years that I would be listening to a country artist, I would have probably laughed at you - I mean I like certain songs and usually limited to only a few artists but I started listening to Queer Love mix list via Spotify and I was like, why is Elvis on this list? Come to find out the song was Roses Are Falling by Orville Peck, which was definitely interesting to find out - to me, he sounds so much like him. Anyway I definitely suggest checking him out if you didn't know he existed like I did.

But to be fair, I haven't really listened to much outside of radio while I'm in the car or I usually do iheartradio artist playlists of usually of Mary Lambert, Hayley Kiyoko, Olivia Rodrigo, Maddie Zahm, Zolita, Fletcher, and Renee Rapp - the last six I found via Mary Lambert's "playlist/channel". If you're unfamiliar with iheartradio, if you have the free version (aka ad filled), you get similar artists whenever you click on an artist. Or at least familiar enough I guess. Chappell Roan I think I also found via that playlist, but also she kind of blew up a year or two ago. Pink Pony Club of course is I think my favorite song.

Discovered a whole bunch of new musicians that way a few years ago. I fell in love with Mary Lambert's version of Jessie's Girl and quickly loved her other work. Now for Maddie Zahm I think one of the first ones of her work was Fat Funny Friend or If It's Not God which I adore. I think Renee Rapp got me with her In The Kitchen and Pretty Girls.  Zolita I fell in love with her music with Somebody I F*cked Once. With Fletcher I believe it was Girls Girls Girls. Olivia Rodrigo I think was Vampire. Hayley Kiyoko with Girls Like Girls.

I think through listening/watching the official music videos of the above singers, I discovered Cloudy June (Girls Like You) and many more like Morgan Wade (Fall In Love With Me), Ryan Cassata (Daughter), Rosemary Joaquin (Erika), Devon Cole (Hey Cowboy, although W.I.T.C.H. was my original favorite),, Xana (19), girli (More Than A Friend), G Flip (GAY 4 ME), King Mala ("she calls me daddy"), Maggie Lindemann (she knows it), Hollie Col (Unholy), Aston (For the Girls & Mama Didn't Raise No), Sarah Barrios (Thank God You Introduced Me To Your Sister), Pale Waves (She's My Religion), Chloe Adams (Dirty Thoughts), Halsey (Strangers), Alexia Evellyn (Savage Daughters), Chinchilla (Little Girl Gone), Iluka (Cry Evil!), Kacey Musgraves (Dry Spell), Paris Paloma (labour), Em Beihold (Brutus), Ella Red (He Asked For It), Kiki Rockwell (Burn Your Village), Viking Barbie (Creep), SkyDxddy (Medusa), Peggy (Talk Shit! | Feminine Rage), Ashley Ryan (Hush Little Baby), Lauren Sanderson (Come Say Sum), Sofia  Isella (Everybody Supports Women), Jax (i choose violence) and Matilda (Apologize). Also really liked Jeangu Macrooy's Independent Girls & Nasty Evil Gays (which with that title, kinda gave me pause, but then you hear the lyrics and it makes sense and not actually anti-queer)

I think the last "new" country songs (not sure how "country" they are though) I've enjoyed over the last few years are: Tanner Adell's Buckle Bunny and Lil Nas X (Old Town Road). Also really enjoyed Ashley McBryde's What If We Don't.

Anyway, I don't normally talk about music on my journal, but I wanted to do something for [community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth & since I've been doomscolling too much on instagram lately and the world is just shit and I haven't felt like writing - so I figured I'd talk about some music I've enjoyed over the last few years - and yes most of them are queer related, so if anyone has any favorites or recs, please suggest away! And let me know if I introduced you to anyone new! Or if you also like them.

In honor of [community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth, I thought I should do an icon challenge over at [community profile] supergirl_tv since I was planning on doing a drabbleathon for the Summer.

So without further ado:




No official sign-ups, no claiming, you can use any character/pairing/universe as long as Supergirl appeared in it (even if only briefly!)

Lots of drabbleathons!

Weekly Score: 50% (12/24)

Goal 1: Increase my spirituality. 47% (9/19)

Review: I should have known I wouldn't be able to do any of my tactics while out of town. That was on me.

Goal 2: Write a blog article each week. 67% (2/3)

Review: This, too, didn't work out because I was out of town. But it did give me some ideas!

Goal 3: Make deck available for use. 50% (1/2)

Review: I thought I'd be able to do both days on this, but it didn't work out. But I did some work on it, so it wasn't a complete loss.

Intentions for the future: G1 - I intend to get up and do the morning things first thing. G2 - I'm going to try to write two posts this week, to make up for the one I have planned but didn't manage to write last week. G3 - I'd like to work on my room a lot this week. I feel like I have been moving things around without actually getting anything taken care of, and it's... embarrassing. So I need to actually get rid of some of the things I have.

Note: I have had a really rough three months, which is why I'm so late on these. I'll keep working on it.
