Same ole' story- when I have an idea for a blog post, the thought of sitting down and writing it seems onerous. I want it to be grammatically correct. I want my thoughts to be well formed. I want it to be perfect. (In case I haven't revealed that prior, I am a perfectionist.)
So, here I am writing a "catch up" post where I can touch on a number of subjects and not necessarily form one perfect narrative.
Let's see...
It's May 29th and it's not even 50 degrees here in Massachusetts. Awesome. Not. I think the weather has seriously been affecting my mood. I need sun!
One of my new fave drinks over the past few months has been bringing me a little sunshine, however:
It's ah-mazing! I've been looking for a flavored iced decaf tea and I found it! I found it at my local Target. I'm hoping it will help to draw me away from soda completely (a goal far off into the future).
I've been back & forth to Florida twice since I last blogged. The first was a planned visit to my parents and the second was a visit to help take care of my Mom after she had a leg/ankle fracture. It was nice & sunny there. On my last day of my second visit, I headed to the pool for some relaxation.
Oh, and side note? The book in the picture above- The Japanese Lover- was REALLY good!
I turned 45.
OK- moving right along.
I undertook a DIY project and it actually came out decently! I wanted a bulletin board for above my desk in my corner of the newly renovated basement and I wanted something prettier than a typical bulletin board. So, I found a pattern, I went to Jo-Ann Fabric (I must've looked like a deer in headlights in there), I used a glue gun for the first time and I made something. Something I actually liked enough to hang up. I'll try to do a post dedicated to the project. Here's the finished product:
John & I took a trip to Foxwoods & Mohegan Sun (casinos in Connecticut.) We won ZERO.
Moving on...
I watched Sweet Home Alabama (probably more than once since I last blogged!)
(Oh, and is it obvious yet that I'm scrolling through the camera roll on my phone to remind me of what's happened over the past four months? Sad. (See "turning 45" above.)
On April 12th, John & I celebrated our 20 year date anniversary! We had a tiramisu for two:
Going on that date was the best thing I've ever done!
My Mom came into town a few weeks ago and we had a nice visit. Part of that nice visit is having her make me a Cosmo!
My Dad came into town, as well, which was neat (they're usually not here at the same time) and we were all together on Mother's Day. We had lobsters! I also received many beautiful cards and gifts and these flowers.
They're still beautiful today.
Lastly- we JUST (a few hours ago) finished watching The Keepers on Netflix. This seven part series about abuse, corruption, and murder related to the Catholic church in Baltimore is horrifying. Disgusting. I'm still reeling from it. If you get a chance- watch it.
I'll try to write a new post...before October. o_O
