1. happy monday. accidentally set my hair on fire (literal flames) this morning while reheating soup but none of it burned off so there’s that.

2. tate’s bake shop cookies are the best thing on the planet and you have to try them. the gluten free ones taste just as good/ basically the same as the regular ones.

3. my overalls are from free people (different pattern here). my biggest fear when wearing overalls is that i look 5 years old because i’m not that tall. but a better purchase was this putting green game. who needs a living room rug? not me anymore.

4. i clearly don’t know anything about being an adult but one life secret worth sharing is to tell people you love them. and call them, don’t just text. relationship are everything in life.

5. not metal but really loving Morgan Wade’s album. this is going to sound like a backhanded compliment and it’s not - i love the way it ends. you will have to listen to it and then you’ll get what i mean. call me old but i will always love listening to an album start to finish. another good newish album is self care by yours truly (that’s the band name; I don’t mean me haha).

6. and currently reading “the guest list.” a lot of people loved and recommended the book “verity” so i read it but i think it sucked and don’t understand the hype. it read like a lifetime movie to me and i thought the ending would be two steps ahead of what it actually was 🤷🏻‍♀️

7. still not a big movie/ tv/ netflix person but i’m currently watching the interviews on the soft white underbelly youtube channel. it almost feels too vulnerable/ intrusive to watch a lot of them. the people featured are much more than the label seen in the titles, and i don’t see how you can watch them and not want to do something. and even then it still won’t feel like enough.

8. pupdate: charlie is the ultimate guard dog and loves to patrol the house and bark at everyone and everything, but when he finally falls asleep he goes into the deepest sleep and it is one of my favorite things. he also need to have at least 3 toys with him at any given moment. ruby is the queen of routines and the reason i don’t have a life after 8pm. they also both turned 6 yesterday! duke is going to outlive all of us. and blue has found his voice and likes to howl like a wolf.

9. i have asked this a million times but honestly.. what happened to mh370?

10. another question: why do we send flowers when someone dies? because the flowers just die too. i don’t know, everyone is different. but for me it just feels like a one-two punch.

11. all i know is football season goes by too fast. i don’t have a favorite team but i’m 100% a fan of ron rivera.

12. san diego got a soccer team and i am excited to see how they do. none of my friends keep up with soccer so i might just go to a game by myself haha

13. lastly.. a full get-ready routine is not the everyday standard anymore but perfume is a great way to set the tone for the day.

and that’s 13. thank you for reading and go buy yourself a golf game for the living room✌🏼 thank me later.
