Sunday Social - Blogging

How did you come up with your blog name? 

It was inspired by my love of all things argyle and of course, our argyle wedding.
  
What is your favorite thing about blogging? 

Finding new blogs to follow, getting sweet comments, and just generally sharing things with others.


What is one thing you have discovered because of blogging and now cant live without? 

Does Sunday Social count? I love doing this link-up. Also, Instagram, and Pinterest


Facebook or Twitter? and why?

For the blog? Twitter just because I actually do a lot more on there than on my blog's Facebook page. I need to get better at that!

If one celeb read your blog who would you want it to be?

The Duchess of Cambridge because I'm certain we could easily be best friends.

What is something you want people to know about your blog?

Even though I've been trying this blogging thing for awhile now, I'm still growing and changing how I do things. I'm working on being more consistent and trying to be more interesting, I promise.

 

Sherlock - Canon

Today's Sherlock topic is favorite canon reference/joke.

Even though Sherlock is a modern adaptation, Steven Moffat & Mark Gatiss do a great job of including a lot of canon. I really love the way they sneak little details in throughout the episodes.

My favorite one is this one...



Vatican cameos!

In the canon, Vatican cameos is a case mentioned in passing by Sherlock Holmes in Hound of the Baskervilles. Doyle never wrote a story about it. I love the way Moffat and Gatiss snuck it in there!

 

Week in Review

Monday

It was Memorial Day and I had the day off, so of course it was a great day to hit up the flea market with my mom. And other than the constant rain all morning, it was a good idea. We ended up looking like drowned rats despite the umbrella, but I walked away with a new wire rack and a wok spider. I know how to have a good time.

The only thing stopping me from buying this pillow was the price.

Tuesday

After bragging for 3 years that we've never had a power outage, we finally had one. There were some loud noises and suddenly no more power. It was very annoying because 1. We were in the middle of an episode of Arrested Development and 2. I had stocked up on ice cream bars. Luckily, the power came back a couple hours later and we didn't lose anything.

Thursday

Even though there was only a week of school left, I was still working. The highlight of my day was discussing Doctor Who with a 3rd grader. She mistakenly thinks 11 is better than 10, but whatever.

Saturday

I attended my 9 year old nephew's birthday party. There was a bouncy castle. And yes, I did get in it. It had a slide! It was super fun and I think I need one in my backyard all the time.

 

Sunday Social

What is your favorite social media outlet? 

I'm a social media addict, so I enjoy many different outlets. Lately, I've been focused on Facebook and Instagram, so they are my favorites. Don't forget to check out my links over there on the right!

Do you subscribe to any daily news reads? If so, which ones? 

I don't subscribe to any, but I check BuzzFeed daily and they do breaking news and updates pretty well.

What is your favorite magazine to have by the pool?

The rare times I'm by a pool, I'm typically on vacation and I bring books, not magazines.

What is your favorite summertime song?

I guess Summertime by Kenny Chesney

What is the best summer concert you've been to?

Confession: I used to be a huge Clay Aiken fan. I went to several concerts and I really enjoyed his Jukebox Tour. I actually went to two concerts of that tour.

I've also been to a couple Kenny Chesney concerts and they were awesome. His music is great for summer and he puts on a fabulous show.
