This is what the past week looked like.
Woke up in Royal Oak and had coffee from Seven Sundays.
Went to my annual eye appointments to follow up from my surgery 15 (!) years ago.
It was an end of an era, but my eyes have been stable so my doctors were comfortable referring me to doctors closer to home going forward.
Birmingham is one of my favorite towns.
Being touristy.
Such a charming town.
Brunch at Toast because tradition (2015 / 2016 / 2018 / 2023 / 2024)
These umbrellas reminded me of Marry Poppins.
Home sweet home.
A gorgeous day to hang out on the porch.
G has been watching Home Improvement and I join him sometimes.
It can be cringy, but it can be funny too.
Wow!
My workout buddy.
I was curious about Factor meals (not sponsored), so I finally tried it and two of the meals were delicious and one meal was gross.
It was nice not to think about dinner or prepare it, but I wasn't impressed and cancelled after my first box.
The ice has melted and the lake is BACK!
St. Patty's Day vibes in the office.
Hawk spotting.
Qdoba with a side of sunset and Manny.
This was such a cute read.
Fave quotes:
"I don't know which hobbies I will choose in the drop-down box of life, but whatever they are, I'm excited to find out."
"There is a whole new chapter waiting for you, all you need to do is keep turning the pages."
"I guess some things in life you don't get to choose; you can't choose the plot, but you can choose the soundtrack."
"Don't let life make you hard. It's the soft, gooey middle that makes it all so delightful."
Coffee on the porch just tastes better.
Glorious.
Dips and warm weather, a few of my favorite things.
Churchin' it.
Walking around Brighton.
Lunch with my momma (and G).
This eggplant parm from Cia Amici was incredible.
Feeling artsy.
I'm late to the party, but I started watching Nobody Wants This and it's so cute.
This was a great read.
Fave quotes:
"A queen doesn't wait for anyone to save her. The queen saves herself."
"Imposter syndrome doesn't come from our accomplishments; it comes from the gap between our achievements and our aspirations."
"Have the courage to say what you need in the moment. Most people aren't mind readers. Two things will happen: You'll either get what you need or realize that the source you are asking doesn't have the capacity to deliver. Both are gifts."
Amen!
Truth.
Tough pill to swallow.
I feel seen.
Yes please.
It's funny because it's true.
This made me laugh way too hard.
And I want the pretzel with enough salt to line a highway.
For more life lately:
