Sometimes I wonder how this little agent of chaos can be so darn cute.

The game didn't go so well, but burgers in the backyard are an ok consolation prize.

Time to do some yardwork, y'all

Though no regrets on the posters. Frame City did an amazing job (despite this terrible photo)

B regularly falls asleep while still holding his phone. Blue light/screen time clearly does not impact this man.

We are now at the stage where B talks to himself while doing measurements, math and marking up the wall. I just stay out of the way.

We took the day off to drink cheap martinis and enjoy a leisurely Coolinary lunch. No regrets. Might make this an annual event.

My husband said he wasn't going to be home in time for dinner. His loss. This was a good one!

I miss running, so this seems like as good a time as ever to lace up new shoes and get back out there. #couchto5k #again

My mom has passed along a bunch of pillowcases that have decorative needlepoint done by my grandma. Unfortunately, the pillow cases are super stained and discolored from years of use followed by poor storage. I'm going to try some oxy soaks, but any ideas for cleaning or repurposing?

It isn't the most photogenic, but we had a Mexican feast tonight of slow cooker pork carnitas in tacos, refried beans, and elote. Pork shoulder braises all day then gets crisped up under the broiler or in a skillet. So good!

Spread some mulch, refreshed the front planter pot, and watered everything well. Time to shower and hydrate and figure out how I'm going to celebrate the rest of the day now that gardening is done. Open to suggestions!

It makes me so happy that I can get this at Walmart here. Sure, I can make salsa, but sometimes I just want an easy snack.

Not sure I would classify this as progress. Just a bigger mess of a hole.

I got a (way overdue) haircut. I went for a walk. I browsed plants at the garden center. And I finally took the clothes rack out and filled our giant Jacuzzi tub for a little soak.
