Stuff & Things 5/21

>> My obsession with iced peppermint mochas is back.  I’d have one or multiples every day if they weren’t so stinking expensive.  It can seriously brighten my mood instantly.  I’m okay with that.

>> We leave for Charleston tomorrow for one of my best’s weddings!  I have been looking forward to this trip for quite some time and I can’t believe it’s finally here!  We actually got it worked out that J will travel down with me on Friday (originally, he was going to come separately on Saturday) and this makes me extra happy since it’ll be our 5 year anniversary!  Hopefully we’ll get to visit a nice restaurant for lunch to celebrate before we have to separate for bachelorette stuffs.

>> Sometimes being an adult is freaking hard.  And I’d really like to figure out how we can just…I don’t know, avoid the whole having to make big decisions and have hard conversations things.  I’m thankful for good friends (old and new) who make the whole adult thing just a little easier.

>> When I got home on Tuesday, my neighbor wanted to take the pups for a walk.  It’s been absolutely gorgeous lately (though a tad hot), but the evening was just beautiful.  When she and I walked back into the complex, our neighbor was at the park with her dog (Savannah, who we watch), so of course we had to go over.  While we were there, our other neighbor showed up.  When we were leaving, after letting the pups play forever, we were approaching a guy who was working on a bike.  It wasn’t until that moment that we realized how ridiculous we looked!  Four women, four dogs of various sizes and breeds.  It was like a puppy posse rollin’ up on that dude!

>> Today is my Friday!!  I’ve got a jam packed evening which includes first stopping by a friend’s happy hour before rushing home and getting alllllllll the things ready for this weekend!  That might just include giving myself a gel mani and practicing my hair and makeup.  And steaming my dress.  And packing all the things.  What is it about traveling that just makes me a stress ball, for real!  I’ll be happy when we’re en route and the vacay can officially start!

Okay!  Your turn!

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  11. I don't know why adult things have to be so hard but I do know that we get to enjoy good things like a beer. I brewed my first batch of beer yesterday. I hope you have a nice vacation! estherdavison@gmail.com
