Mercy, it’s been a wild week. Wild and fabulous.
Dish: My hubby and I recorded a little video interview of ourselves for something ridiculously cool that we’re applying for. It was fun. And awkward. And sweet. I’d tell you about it, but then I’d have to kill you.
Deadly: I poisoned my entire family the day before Easter. Just doing my part to drive home the magnitude of the Easter theme. Note to self: to not serve week old roasted squash even if it looks/smells/tastes perfectly fine. Three of us hurled our guts up – mostly across the beautifully green grass outside – and the other 3 simply slept it off. It was pitiful. And I was banned from the kitchen for an entire day. Sweet!
Date: My hubby and I got to escape for a night away to our favorite little Inn on the west side of the State. And because we’re boring consistent, we pretty much did our “usual”…we hit up a whole food store, purchased something unusual {this time it was a soy/rice/almond milk maker}, ate at our favorite little Lebanese bistro, rummaged through the racks at Goodwill in search of some killer deals, and plopped our heinies down in the comfy seats of the local theatre. Among other delightfully fantastic things that married couples do when they get to go away – alone – together for an entire day. Ahem.
Dermatologist: Before we ran away together, we stopped by the dermatologist to get the results of my biopsy. Apparently, since turning 30 – along with a tattoo and a waistline – I have acquired psoriases. While I’m not thrilled about this, I am so thankful it’s not anything more drastic. All the more reason to eat coconut oil by the spoonful.
Dinner: We just finished cleaning up after a most delicious dinner {Bobotie, in case you were wondering} with some of the college gals from my mom’s bible study. My hubby and I had visited the group a couple of times to answer {candidly, of course} some questions about relationships, sex and working through ‘baggage’, and just fell in love with them. They’re truly lovely – inside and out!
Delivery: I was invited to speak to 170+ gals at a women’s event tomorrow morning. At this point, my topic is ‘Cultivating True Joy Amidst the Storms of Life’. But God has a whole 10 hours to completely reconfigure my plans, so who knows what I’ll talk about. Excited! I love to talk {but you’d never guess that, would you?}
Deadlines: I’ve been busy, busy designing 6 foot banners and logos and wedding invitations and movie tickets, and dreaming of the day I can actually have set ‘office hours’. Only 16 years to go, folks. Hang in there.
Dreaming: it would seem Spring is in full swing around here and plans for our vegetable garden are brewing. To grow potatoes {again}…or not to? This is the question. Mad amounts of butternut, acorn, zucchini and summer squash, but of course! Corn, not so much. Tomatoes and herbs and peppers galore! Amen. Planning and dreaming. And thankful to have little loin-fruit another year older for weeding assistance. Score.
Doting: I will leave you with these precious pics I stumbled upon yesterday…would you just look at those eyes!
Bug was just a few months old and still requiring 6 doses of beta blockers daily to keep his little heart in check. He’s a little rockstar and has been med-free for over 15 months. Whoot whoot.
And sweet Bean, who daily delights the socks off my very feet, is still as edible as ever!
Done: Ciao bella!
