Stuff & Things 7/9

Stuff & Things 7/9

Oh, hi.  Remember me?  I used to be a blogger?  I kid, I kid.  Everyone needs a break every now and again, right?  Except I haven’t exactly taken a break, not really.  I just haven’t had much to say.  And that’s okay sometimes, right?

In other news, I’ve been cruising through season 4 of Scandal.  That’s not a show I can watch when it’s on live TV.  I don’t have the patience to wait a week (and sometimes longer) between episodes.  It’s not the best season ever (season 1 was, in my opinion) but it’s definitely a bingeable show.  And honestly, I’ve needed the distraction and to force myself to stop working every so often.

Speaking of TV.  I’m out of The Bachelorette this season.  It’s a show that requires such a time investment (and to be honest, I’ve basically just fast forwarded through all of the episodes just to catch the most dramatic parts so far because yawn), but this season is such a freaking @#$% show.  I’ve lost respect for Kaitlyn.  I don’t think she’s handled herself well on national television.  And I kind of think the men are whiney little boys.  So, sorry.  I’ll catch the spoilers after the show ends.  What about you?  Have you been invested this season?

Fourth of July weekend was fun.  Around these parts, it was more ATA’s 30th birthday bash…but you know.  Technicalities.  We ended the weekend spent at the pool with a birthday dinner at Fahrenheit in Uptown Charlotte and oh my goodness.  I had the salmon with wasabi mashed potatoes and it was unbelievable.  Not to mention the view.  I mean, c’mon.

Winners are losers who tried one more time.  One of the kids asked for my opinion on this quote the other day, and I actually had to stop for a moment because it hit me like a ton of bricks.  Life, you guys, is hard.  And things don’t always go perfectly.  In fact, on the contrary, really.  And it’s really easy sometimes to want to just throw in the towel because you’re exhausted, fed up, and you feel like a failure.  Well you know what?  Winners are losers who tried one more time.




Anyway.  I promise not to be a stranger.  You know how life goes sometimes, right?  Now tell me what’s up with you?  Link up below!
