Oh man. I think we got an updated version of that Civil War couple. What is this fit???

Now I know my rising sign and moon and allathat. Leading with purples is right up my alley. I do like a sage green. Taupe is meh, though I had a car that color that I loved.

Saw this car and immediately felt old. Asked the trooper what year it is and he said 1993. 😩 Man. I remember how big these Mustangs were in my childhood.

I hadn't had some of their chicken in a while. Treated myself to a piece. Super crispy and seasoned. And pretty. Tore it up.

Went to see the Trolls today at Dix Park. I liked their cute lil butts. 🤭 And their stick branches for hair was reminiscent of locs. Very cute.

I also think fondly of this shrimp vermicelli noodle bowl from Pho Hoang Long in Marietta, GA. I haven't had a Vietnamese noodle bowl since cause it can't compare. Absolutely delicious!

Duke Energy left this ugly ass piece of equipment when they did work on a neighboring house. It is in direct line of sight from my house. 😖 I called and sent a message. Come get this thing! Over 2 weeks now. It's too heavy for me to move.

These are great! This flavor belongs on a Dorito. Tastes exactly like a yellow (not white) queso with a good kick. This needs to be a regular offering. It's the perfect Dorito to me. I can't stop eating them. Beautiful packaging too.

These are pretty good. Good, Indian spiced flavor. Ends with an earthiness. Though I can only eat a few at a time, the spices can get overwhelming.

I think I have mint growing. I planted it over 2 months ago but previous plantings I didn’t have any success so I thought it’d be a crapshoot. With all the seed pods that blow around my neighborhood, could be weeds. Gardeners, is this indeed mint? #gardening #gardener #isitmint

Since y'all keep talking about push ups & not everyone has the strength (yet) or folks may not like getting on the floor (personally dislike) you can do wall push ups. I do a modified version on the stairs.
