Making: this salad. I’ve made it 3 times in the last 2 weeks… it’s so good! My only complaint about it is that if you have children you’ll need to allow yourself 7.5 hours to make it.
Drinking: do I even have to answer this question? Wine. From a bottle… from a box… from a can… from an IV…
Reading: I’ve been on page 7 of this book for like, a month. Is it good? Don’t know, I’ll get back to you in 18 years when I’ve finally finished it and my kids have moved out so it won’t even matter how I parent anymore waa.
Wanting: like, 12 more months of summer.
Watching: the bachelorette. I love this season so much. I love Rachel. I love Peter. Ugh, that Peter. He’s such a treat for the eyes. Also, I don’t want to toot my own horn, but after the first episode of the season my friend and I sent each other our top ten predictions… and I accurately predicted the top 4… (in this order: 1. Peter 2. Bryan 3. Eric 4. Dean) so… tootie tootie toot toot!
Listening: so much country music. Who am I even?
Wishing: that sweet Bill (Willa) would sleep through the night. And not get up at 5am. Excuse me while I shovel more coffee into my face.
Enjoying: our pool! I went back and forth between buying our pool and another shallower, more obvious kiddie pool with animals and a jungle and 37 other pieces of flair all over it. And anyways, I’m SO glad that I went with ours because it’s so much more substantial and family friendly. And it fits all of us. And it has a bench. And a cup holder. For my wine can Crosby’s water bottle. Best buy of the summer.
Loving: when Crosby will group-hug Casey and I and say “I love you guys”.
Hoping: that we can make room in our budget for a house cleaner. Please and thank you, amen.
Needing: to get my hair done. My regrowth since Willa was born is almost all gray. Not kidding. Not fair.
Feeling: like I want my kids to have a genuinely happy life. More than anything else in the world.
Wearing: one piece swimsuits. No makeup. Jorts. Birkenstocks. Basically anything that’s the opposite of sexy.
Love Love Love and Love! Humorous, Sweet, Profound, and Honest:-)
