Inspired by -
The small hints of spring coming. My brain and soul are ready for this seasonal change. I need more fresh air, more walks, and more daffodils from Trader Joes. Also, Inspired isn't the right descriptor, but I chopped off my pandemic hair and it felt like such a relief.
Watching -
Brian and I have made it through all of 90 Day Fiancé and are now in season 3 of Before The 90 Days. It's the best best trash. (I've been following each episode up with the podcast recap by Reality Gays and it's *chef's kiss*). I blew through The Wilds because Lost with teen girls is extremely my jam. And in my quest to see all the major movies I missed as a kid/teen we watched Fifth Element and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Both fun, would only rewatch Bill and Ted.
Reading -
I read the newest Sophie Kinsella book, Love Your Life, and haven't picked up another book since. And I've had loans just sitting on my kindle! Starting a new book is such a hurdle for me sometimes, and my goal this week is to start ANYTHING.
Thinking about -
Nothing and everything. Everyone seems to have hit a pandemic wall with a full year almost passing and I am one of them. My brain is constantly whirring but nothing seems to stick or progress much. Also thinking about how Brian thought the girls had ravaged a pack of cookies because of how it was opened and left in the pantry, but it was actually me.
Listening to -
A 3-disc Disney music collection any time there are children in my car. I've become this person now. Like, I purchased that cd pack THIS month. My live is ruled by people who can't tie their own shoes. (Sidebar. Should I have taught Norah to tie her shoes by now?)
Dream life -
I'm probably dreaming but I don't remember it.
Researching -
Koala costumes for babies, vintage miniatures, Airbnb's with their own pool, and this thing where Ex-Mormons are getting really into mushrooms. (Not me personally. Not yet, at least.)
Cooking + Eating + Drinking -
Last week I made one of my best decisions and got a loaf of sourdough bread in our grocery order. I then proceeded to have the greatest toasts of my life for lunch all weekend. This month, the girls and I made valentine's cookies and a lemon cake. June also helped with dinner whenever I would let her and then mostly still wouldn't eat it.
Grateful for -
Tax returns, a mental health day, take-out + garbage tv, any nap I can snag on the weekend.
What the girls are into -
June has been very into gloves. All the time. Mittens or gloves, or even a pair of socks will suffice. Sometimes she will wear them for naps.
Norah - loves Everett. Will completely beeline by me in the morning so she can tell him good morning. Spends time "teaching" him from his crunchy books and showing him all his toys.
I took them to pick up dinner the other night and we had the windows down and they were both extremely elated by it. Pandemic kids, ya'll. It takes very little to excite them.
What Everett is doing -
Ev's only goal in life right now is to get his feet in his mouth. He tries to roll, but only if he's on the couch, because he wakes up every day and chooses danger. He will roll from stomach to back, but never seems that happy about it. He is v v drooly right now and is continues to be a happy little squish.
Missing -
A clearer mind. Doing normal things and not being reminded of the whole, like, global pandemic thing.
Looking forward to -
Wearing dresses. Not pumping anymore. Friend hangs.
