The Emotions of Quarantine: as told by gifs
The last few months have been filled with the most bizarre series of emotions. Does Home Depot miss me too? At what point do I need to try on a pair of pants to make sure they still fit?
5 Things I Learned In My 30th Year
Honestly, what a time to be alive. My 30th year was full blown insanity. Filled with all the fun, so much travel, incredible new experiences, and a global pandemic one will surely never forget. This year, I’ve learned a lot about myself, my people, my passions, and truly how much I live for a good list.
10 Must Have Game Night Games
Truth be told, game night around these parts is an art form. We like to play hard, eat all the things, play some more, eat dessert, and if we’re lucky enough, we keep playing until it’s time to eat again. You know… #balance
Oh, Darling! Let’s talk skincare!
Let me start by saying, I absolutely do not enjoy doing my makeup. My level of effort could be described as doing just enough to not scare away other humans should they come within a 10 foot radius. My skincare regimen though? It’s on a poppin, and my skin is loving all this extra breathing room! Dare I say I have a Benjamin Button situation happening? Could it be, am I actually aging in reverse?
Oh, Darling! Let me tell you about my Peloton
I am addicted to this piece of machinery, and will absolutely tell anyone who will listen how magnificent it truly is. Remember Napoleon Dynamite’s Uncle Rico? “Hey, y’all wanna see my video?” This is me, except “Hey, y’all wanna see my Peloton?”
Cinco de Mayo: the best queso + marg recipes
Let’s be clear about something real quick. As a queso aficionado myself, I can wholeheartedly say that I absolutely do not need a reason to eat queso, but with open arms, welcome any and every opportunity to enjoy liquid gold, free of judgement. But Cinco de Mayo on a Taco Tuesday? This is our quarantine saving grace!
Oh, Darling! Remember when Caleb planned a surprise party?
Color me shocked when Caleb told me he had planned a birthday surprise. What do you mean you planned a birthday surprise? Like you pre-ordered an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen orrrr…?
Oh, Darling! 5 things I absolutely will not be doing during quarantine.
The first few weeks, Minnie wasn’t sure what to think. Why are you here? At what point will you look away so I can get on the couch and snooze to my hearts content? We’ve now reached the level that she avoid’s me, and has decided to get out of bed when she’s good and ready - sometimes 2-3 hours after I’ve been up. Am I living with a teenager?
Oh, Darling! Can you guess what’s on my post-quarantine to do list?
41 days, 5 hours, and 37 minutes - but who’s counting? Me, actually. Mostly because I have so much extra time on my hands these days, my obsessive-like counting has become a recent addition to my repertoire.
Oh, Darling! Did you hear the news? I’m back!
I for one, never thought I’d see the day that I’d be back. After years of questions, suggestions and not so subtle reminders that some people (other than my mother) enjoy reading what I put out into the universe, I’m dusting off the ol’ MacBook and I’m comin’ for ya!
Oh, Darling! I’d love to hear from you.
