Stuff & Things 4/9

++That is how I spent part of my Friday.  I absolutely love living in a place that the pool is open year round.  It reached 80 degrees, and hanging out in the sunshine with my neighbor was perfect.  Also–yes, I was reading Dark Places but I’ve given up on it.  I just couldn’t get into it.

Such a fancy photo, right?  I told y’all.  We do real life around here.

++ My neighbor texted for me to stop by last night and gave me all that cake!  I nibbled on some (yes, with a glass of wine) and holy bananas.  Best cake I’ve ever had!!  So freaking delicious.

++ Today is my Friday!  The kids have been on spring break all week which has meant longer days for this girl.  Things have been so insane since the whole Charlotte thing happened that I’m dubbing tomorrow a “do what I want” day, you know, besides some writing that has to get done.  I’m thinking pool, reading, then netflix.  I’m a busy lady 😉

++ We sprung another neighbor’s dog from the crate this week.  She was working late so we went and busted Otter out to come hang with us and b-dog.  I was worried there for a while that J wasn’t going to give her dog back. They were sort of in love.

++ Oh.  And J threw his back out on Easter Sunday.  He’s not really sure how it happened, but he’s been in a good bit of pain all week.  Here’s hoping it heals up soon!

Okay friends!  Your turn!

  5. That's such a pretty dog!

    Ugh, I just got Dark Places from the library because everyone swears it's "better" than Sharp Objects (which I didn't like). So. Maybe I'll start it this weekend…

  11. Look at the way that pup is snuggling! I love it! I saw your giant piece of cake on the IG last night and was drooling. Also, I'm jealous of your 'pool open all year long' weather. It's is 40, windy and rainy today.

  13. The picture of that cake literally stopped me dead in my tracks…….yes please to that! Soak up all that vitamin D sunshine for me girl! I am currently hauled away endlessly dictating patient charts 🙁

  14. Sitting by the pool with bare legs and no goosepimples?! I can only imagine such joy! I'm not at all jealous that I'm still in my winter coat over here. I hope J's pain subsides soon – thrown backs are the pits. Happy double Friday!
