A couple of well-placed best friend chats can help a lot.

yes i am doing this again

My in-laws are alive and tucked in, and same for Josh who literally JUST got home from a 12 day (kind of harrowing) work trip. I leave for a couple of days in KCMO first thing tomorrow. I thought being a grown-up was going to be more fun and less work.

Bolognese sauce on the stove after about 3 hours.

Not the final but went well. Pancetta isn’t necessary but it’s nice.

These people live in a town of like 400 people. It’s insane they attempted it.

Welp, my in-laws are lost in Houston rush hour traffic. Who could have predicted this? (I did obv!)

Milo is slowing down quite a bit and we've been alone for more than a week now so I am very much in my feelings.

Obviously the soundtrack is Chappell Roan. I mean look at him.

My black lb Milo wearing a gray knitted sweater while stretched out in my made bed.

My best guy.

One of my favorite ways to multi-task: get in bed early with a glass of wine and peruse workout videos while checking out new music.

Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.

these people are un-serious. wanna get into the weeds? HEI scores for school meals SOARED after the HHFKA Act. Y'all are NOT serious if you're pretending otherwise. SORRY!

It is absolutely pouring and I love it. All my plants are so happy. I hope it's contagious.

Incredible roller coaster of a day. Happy for the extra rain. Might add an extra trazadone.

A neon sign that reads "Cocktails & Dreams" in the style of the movie.

Okay trying this for the 321st time and then I am DONE.

My best friend Gavin loves to send me random gifts and this "Cocktails & Dreams" neon is top-tier.

I was in NYC a couple of weeks ago and honestly I had a blast being surrounded by all kinds of languages and accents. (Not that I lack for that in Houston, but walking around NYC all day is kind of a symphony for that stuff and it's awesome.)

a thousand years ago in the time of internet forums a woman expressed this exact thought. she'd been out to a restaurant the night before and said that the family next to her spoke Spanish the whole time and it made her want to slap them. i think about that lady a lot. seems like she moved to plano.

The French 77 cocktail at Beausoleil: light yellow in a kind of squarish coupe glass with etching and garnished with a sliver of lemon peel.

tfw you and your HH date go to different restaurants lmao

Geneseo is beautiful and absolutely offers a lot of bang for your buck. But you still need bucks.

This is my alma mater, and I just got back from a weekend in NYC with my old roommates from Geneseo where we all expressed shock over rising tuition prices. One of my roommates isn’t sure she can afford SUNY for her own kid next year.

lmao

shit forgot alt text: black lab sleeping on a half-made bed

I've been making the bed for 75 minutes and counting. Milo keeps falling asleep every time I add a layer of bedding. I may end up sleeping in the spare room at this rate.
