Life Lately: Week 16

This is what the past week looked like.

Spring has sprung. 

Aldi pizza for the win.

This ranch is LEGIT.

The deck is coming along and looking great.

Porch sitting weather is here and I'm a happy girl.

Creamsicle skies.

The weather was so warm we sat on the beach in the sunshine.

First boat ride of the year.

That ear when the deck guys started working, ha!

Speaking of the deck, the railings started going up.

Changed up breakfast to increase my protein. 

The trees are starting to bloom...

Now if it would just get warmer.

Highly recommend this book.

G made an oldie but a goodie - Italian Sausage Tortellini.

Before I show the finished deck I have to share the before.

And now for the dramatic reveal!

Before (yikes).

The after!

Manny was excited to check it the new deck and he kinda blends in, ha! :)

We popped the bubbly and bundled up and sat on the new deck for a minute, but it was too cold so we came back inside.

Night skies.

Lit a new candle and gave the house a much needed deep clean. 

Blanket stealer. 

It was an exciting week in soccer with three shoot outs across three different tournaments.

G's beef strog is comforting on a cold day.

Great question. 

"I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all"

Taylor's lyrics are perfection.

Good reminder to be intentional about your time.

YES.

Love this.

Interesting food for thought. 

It's funny because it's true.

The best kind of tired.

It's been so windy lately and we had snow this weekend.

I really miss this.

Bahaha.

I love Taylor's new album, but I also love the memes about this pop culture moment.

I was absolutely born in the right generation.

I mean, I live in a time where I can have groceries or takeout delivered to my front porch.

What a time to be alive!

The elder emo in me loves this.

I'm totally in for pasta or sunsets.

I had to take antibiotics this week and this was me every day.

100 percent.

It all makes sense now.

Yep, I'm at that age.

Life Lately: Week 15

 This is what the past week looked like.

Monday vibes.

Soup is hitting right now because I'm still sick.

Deck materials were dropped off, woo!

I am here for this weather.

My favorite time of the year is when the boats go in the water.

Summer. Is. Coming.

Porch sitting weather is the best.

G made the copy cat Olive Garden chicken scampi and it has ruined Olive Garden for us because this recipe is better.

Goof.

Spring sunset.

The deck has been an eye sore since the tree fell on it last fall.

It took longer than expected to find a company to replace it, but we did and booked it right as winter hit.

All that to say, we have been anxiously awaiting our new deck. 

Demo day!

Going, going...

Gone.

Dinner...

With a view.

Pineapple and yogurt granola bowl for lunch.

The new deck build started and then it rained for two days straight.

G always makes extra pasta when he makes chicken scampi so I melted some Laughing Cow cheese over it for an easy lunch on a cold and rainy day.

Day eight of this sickness and I think Manny was worried about me.

I talked to the doctor and my ick turned into a sinus infection so I'm on antibiotics now and finally feeling better.

We are in week 15 and I've only been healthy for five weeks of it.

Now G is sick. :(

We will take all your tips on staying healthy please and thanks.

My neighbor suggested the Neti Pot and I've always been weirded out by it, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

The verdict? 

Life changing! 

I had immediate relief.

Taco Bell chalupa in the air fryer is my jam.

This was a fun show to binge.

I read the book a few years ago and completely forgot how it ended, ha!

The way he uses my slippers for a pillow gives me all the feels.

We were craving comfort food so G made his famous beef strog.

Peach skies.

Manny feels the same way I do when we watch Summer House.

Spring has sprung.

This was a cute and easy read and I am here for the witty banter.

We should be doing yard work, but we need to rest and get better first.

Having a moment with grapefruit La Croix.

This time of year is so pretty.

G and I watched a lot of movies this weekend and my reviews are below.

The Holdovers - good story, but I wanted more from the ending.

Mission Impossible - so much fun, here for all the action.

Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie - I loved the TV show so I loved this movie.

Snug as a bug.

Golden hour.

Such a beautiful poem.

I'm going through sickness this year and cannot stay healthy for the life of me.

I am on a health journey to strengthen my immune system and stay healthy the rest of the year.

A good analogy for the love languages.

I joke that I'm all five, but I think I'm actually quality time.

I don't think I could ever take a cold shower, but maybe I'll give it a try now.

I like this concept of splitting problems into these two groups.

Lol.

Total eclipse of the heart.

The good old days.

They totally were.

It's funny because it's true.

Ha!

This made me giggle.

Every time I make the bed I think it shouldn't be this hard.

Bahaha.

It really is a funny opening line for a rap song.

Pretty please.

This made me laugh.

I think we've taken cauliflower rice too far.

Right!

I could never buy a sticker and immediately put it somewhere.
