I do so love the bullets.
- Today is 5 years post-Katrina. I think a lot of this goes unnoticed, but I remember my 25th birthday so vividly because it was during the absolute worst of it. Today is the day Katrina hit ground; the levees broke not long thereafter. A week long vigil of tears and suffering and children and dying and .. jesus, I’ve never seen anything like it on our home soil. And here’s hoping we never will again.
- I placed our first order with a local co-op of farmers. On Tuesday, I go pick out our loot. We’ve got grass-fed, organic beef coming our way; we’ve got sugar-baby watermelons to look forward to; and I ordered some goat’s milk soap. Just cause. I’m a little crazy excited at this. Especially since I spent way less there for the “staples” than I would’ve at a grocery store.
- We have truly entered the season of Jack’s football league. I can tell because I lose half of our household for about six hours every Saturday.
- I had the first music rehearsal I’d been to in .. ages. Since before Tony could walk, at the very least. Tony went with me, asking several times if there was a stage he could dance on, and was an absolute BLESSING the entire time. He charmed everyone, making me wonder what was up. Nothing was up .. no onset of ear infection, no bubonic plague .. he just really, really loves being in that element.
- I finished Mockingjay early last week. I loved reading it, but I was less than happy with the ending. I’ll leave it at that, since I know some people are still reading. I just think there were a lot of low blows for emotional triggers in there.
- I’m pretty much addicted to this site: it’s called Rent the Runway, and I can easily lose entire hours browsing and building my own red carpet look. It’s pretty cost-effective, too. I’m a fan.
- Sometimes we earn timeouts around here and get a pretty stern talking-to from our two year old.
- If you’re in the Huntsville area and you’d like to join a team for the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run, Huntsville Adventure Bootcamp has started Team Bosom Buddies, and we’d love to have you. This is a pretty great first 5K to start with if you’ve never run one before, and there’s also a LARGE subset of walkers for the non-running crowd out there.
- I turn 30 in four days.
- I’m TOTALLY okay with that.
- Life is pretty great.
I am glad to hear that life is pretty great. You deserve it darlin!
I remember all that happened during Hurricane Katrina too but only because my daughter was born on the 30th. Because I had a c-section I had to stay in the hospital 5 days and that was all that was on tv. Wanna talk about depressing! That was the longest 5 days of my life!
I’m so glad things are going well for you! I may have to check out this runway thing. It sounds right down my alley!
Happy birthday week (and month!), Sarah!
Who’s the one so happy to be in that rehearsal? Yes, the child of an empath….yada, yada yada. You crack me up!!
Which is good. I so totally needed that after the Katrina sadness. Our nation lost too much! Makes me mourn still.
