This is what the past week looked like.
Door dashing Starbucks is luxurious.
On cloud 9 with his grandma visiting.
My mom took me to my annual ophthalmology appointment then we shopped until we dropped and had lunch at AI Fusion.
Let the good times roll.
We have boats in the water now!
Summer. Is. Coming.
I had a great shopping day.
I found a few cute sweaters, sweatshirts, artwork, shoes, and cute little decorations.
TJ flowers are always a good idea.
Porch sitting and basking in the sunshine.
The weather in Michigan was the same as California and I'm not mad about it.
Don't sleep on TJ's chicken salad.
Somebody got a new toy.
Celebrating my raise with my favorite takeout.
My little kangaroo.
I threw frozen chicken in the crockpot with a bottle of TJ's yellow curry sauce and served it over TJ's basmati rice with edamame.
10/10 recommend.
Rainy day walk.
Sunset soak in the hot tub.
Since G had a work event, I took my dinner to the tub and honestly, it was elite.
Fall into the gap.
What. A. Week.
The four hour time change, a touch of the stomach bug, dry eyes, and a hectic work week had me crawling to the weekend.
Two must buys when I'm at TJ's make a delightful, comforting pasta on a chilly Saturday.
Binged Love Story and can't stop thinking about it.
The music. The nostalgia. The fashion. Sarah Pidgeon (she's from MI!). The Daryl Hannah lore.
My shadow.
This was nearly a five-star read for me - the ending just didn’t quite land as strongly as I’d hoped.
Still, Fagan's immersive world-building completely pulled me in, and she really reminded me of Taylor Jenkins Reid in the best way.
I’m definitely inspired to read more from her.
Favorite quotes:
"I'm always noticing the little ways society protects us from the menace of silence, like with Muzak in elevators. Humans: we built the Pyramids and made all the world's information instantly accessible, but apparently if we stand together quietly, we'll short-circuit and melt."
"Women all over the world make themselves smaller so men can feel better about themselves."
"Reading has always made me feel closer to the world, and everything in it."
"You hold me steady, but without holding me still."
"The trick of life is to make what's around you beautiful. It'll grow from there."
"Only love will fill the black hole - that it's the only thing worth chasing."
Watching The Oscars was such a snooze fest.
Power of gratitude.
What a privilege.
DEEP.

Convicting.
Good reminder.
I'll never look at flowers the same.
What a delightful thought.
Wise words.
I adore this perspective shift.

I feel seen.
Hahahaha.
Patio sitting is almost hereeeeeeee.
I am solar-powered.
I thought I was the only one!
