Life Lately: Week 26

This is what the past week looked like.

Dog days of summer.

Visit with my bestie filled my cup.

Qdoba for life.

He brings me a lavender latte, swoon.

Cheering Ella on at her soccer game.

Brother and sister selfie.

Sunsets on the lake never get old.

Pillow stealer.

 

I loved the premise of this book, but could have used more closure at the end.

Stormy day in the office.

G picked flowers from the yard.

Closes laptop for nine whole days!!

Lunch with a friend at The Vault Deli.

Kean's is the cutest.

"Listen, I still want to be invited but I'm not coming."

Vacation Lindsey activated.

Season 2 episode 1 is spectacular. 

Just as good as the Dexter season 4 finale.

In the great purge and cleanout of 2025 I found these fish bowls and they make me so happy.

My sidekick. 

This blueberry muffin latte from Booksellers Books and Coffee tasted just like a blueberry muffin.

Pop of color.

I want this coffee to be heavier on the lavender, but added to a Starbucks lavender latte and it's delightful.

This is twelve. 

In preparation to watch the final Mission Impossible we started at the beginning.

I've remembered. 

Melts my heart every time.

Best news headline.

Lol.

So good.

Life comes at you fast.

I feel seen.

This made me lol.

Life Lately: Week 25

This is what the past week looked like.

G made us grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner.

Dinner with a view.

I read The Comfort Book and it had a few gems like this list of ten things that won't make you happy.

Fave quotes:

"The sky isn't more beautiful if you have perfect skin. Music doesn't sound more interesting if you have a six-pack. Dogs aren't better company if you're famous. Pizza tastes good regardless of your job title. The best of life exists beyond the things we are encouraged to crave."

"Ruining the present by worrying about the future is like burning your most treasured possession simply because you might one day lose other possessions that you don't own yet."

"Beauty is any moment that makes us gasp with the hope and wonder of life, and the world is full of such moments."

"We call this the 'comfort zone' but often it is the opposite. A discomfort zone, a stagnation zone, an unfulfilled zone."

"The only certainty is uncertainty. And so, if we are to reach any kind of constant comfort, we need to find comfort in uncertainty."

Sunrise walks are back because it's been a hot week.

Find beauty everywhere. 

Tired pup.

I love food in a bowl so this was my dinner (salmon bowls with this avocado sauce).

G prefers his food on a plate so this was his dinner.

Good sunset week.

This was pretty good.

Fave quotes:

"There's that saying that everyone has a secret. But I think that everyone has a shadow is much more accurate."

"Like love, friendship could sometimes be a falling, immediate and absolute, and it could last and last."

"'I've loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night' - Sarah Williams."

Mocktail (Aldi plain sparkling water + Olipop Strawberry Vanilla).

Creamsicle skies.

M and I were walking to the library and it started to rain so we turned for home and I drove to the library and treated myself to an iced coffee.

I finished Joshua.

What book should I study next?

This guy turned 12!

Breakfast pizza from Fabiano's.

Birthday hike for our senior buddy.

I love my little town.

I grabbed an iced lavender latte while getting M his treat.

Pup cup for this pup.

That tongue!

We spent the weekend on the lake and that's a perfect weekend to me.

This recipe really is better than Olive Garden.

We ended each night of the weekend with a Jaws movie and I still hold strong that two is legit, but of course the first one is the best.

It's been a HOT week over here.

It's been so hot we had to drink our coffee on the porch for a little breeze.

James Clear's newsletter is full of gems.

See?

Great idea.

Yes!
