Happy Friday! We meet again on our favorite DoW (corporate lingo carry over? crying). Hitting send from our hotel this week - congrats M&J!! Looking forward to wedding 1/8 this year, and I know it will be a stellar start celebrating some dear friends. Some extra credit for the location and it being a state to add to our photo map. Cheers!
Three Things that Made the World Beautiful Last Week
Spending family and friend time. Much needed and looking forward to more plans soon.
Strawberry rhubarb time of year - the flavor of the month of June (and I’m not mad about it)!
Being a weekend passenger princess. T. Y. @ Ty!
Conversation: Brain Spill, Pink Lipstick, Dinner Flop / Hero
Sitting here on the first flight of wedding season, typing in my notes app. I’ve been trying to think of what to talk about this week, and I think I just need a little journal time. Random word dump. A pause in regular programming for the dear diary special. Buckle up for some scatter brain or skip to the end if chaos isn’t your vibe today.
Recently, I’ve had so much going on - do I bring it upon myself? Is it really that much? Honestly who knows! But what I do know is that writing helps. I need this time to forcefully pause and gather perspective. Being busy is what I’m good at. Most of it is just made up to entertain my energy. Right now I am feeling the impacts of the impending travel-girl summer from saying yes to everything (couldn’t really say no though?). I’m glad I didn’t say no, AND I’m going to have a lot of feelings along the way.
Maybe this makes sense, maybe I sound crazy. Lots of maybes in today’s word spill.
Maybe that’s just the thing though, I’m living in a world of maybes and see lots of possibility. Turning the maybes into “yes.”
The go-getter in me is getting a little tired, but it is all a cycle (iykyk). Anyways, lots going on and lots to come per usual!
Random other thoughts pinging around in my brain right now:
Started reading Tom Lake by Ann Patchett, feels kind of like Little Women energy but in a modern way (I like it so far)!
Been trying to curl my hair more since I rarely do anything with it.
The humidity in Georgia has increased significantly since the calendar turned June. It’s definitely summer and crazy that we’ve been down there for two whole years come mid-month!
I’ve been loving The Sculpt Society because the workouts fit my preferences, the trainers are the right level of motivating, and I feel like I’m entertaining my dancer brain again with dance cardio. A happy change of routine for me.
No. 246 in Decatur, GA makes the best meatballs I’ve ever had in my whole entire life.
After I wrote about the color red, I saw like 5 posts on Instagram from famous people donning the color… coincidence? Or trend fate?
Live anecdote: Tyler just tried to shove a pickle in my mouth on this flight… so funny since I am such a pickle lover!!! Oh and a pickle from the dinner that I was supposed to eta, but it was labeled wrong from the place at the airport… it said chicken and was actually chicken salad. Quite unfortunate as someone who doesn’t like mayo!!! I’ve learned this lesson one too many times. Won’t repeat that tragic mistake again… hopefully.
Has anyone found a great pink lipstick? I feel like the only options are ice (shimmer) pink, neon hot pink, Barbie pink, or red-facing rose pink. Looking for something natural leaning pink that slightly elevates and doesn’t fall into those other categories. If anyone has one they love, please drop a comment or send me a message! All of the girl’s girls reading this… I’m serious!
If anyone wanted a dinner update, we got Culver’s after landing and it cured everything and more.
This felt fun, hopefully you aren’t too motion sick with my all over the place thoughts! Talk next week!
