Hello, Sunday.
How’re things? I am T-5 days until I leave for Jordan (finally!). Believe it or not, packing is 90% done (see picture of my and Crawley’s packing break)! Don’t be too impressed because my house is 0% cleaned but I’ve got some time on that. Anyone with a hairy furfriend knows that the floor can’t be swept until riiiiight before you need it to be cleaned because those hairballs never disappear. Never.
Otherwise, I’m enjoying (?) the weird weather we’ve had here lately- sun, rain, massive blowing snow followed up blinding sunshine 2 minutes later. Such is life in Michigan. I’m hoping by the time I get home that the sun will be shining enough to get us playing some tennis outside. You know it’s my fave.
I found myself feeling a little claustrophobic earlier this week, so I took myself on a solo day date and a long drive in the sunshine for a mental health day that did just the trick. I hope you can grant yourself a similarly effective luxury to give your mind a break. We all need it.
The internets found me these this week. Enjoy!
I loved, LOVED the first few seasons of The Crown and…I haven’t even finished this latest season. Meh. But I will be tuning in for the next. Weird when it’s starting to happen in my memory.
I can’t see a plus to ChatGPT. What am I missing?
Heading to Paris in a few months (!) for the French Open (!) and this just made my hit list. Honoring Anthony Bourdain, the best way I know how.
Can we recycle clothes? Truly? They’re working on it. I will say that I’ve been making a very conscious effort to buy less clothes and you know what? Not that hard. My closet is full of gems.
March Madness is what Cinderella dreams are made of. I love it! Who’s your pick? My money’s on IU.
The population crisis hitting pretty much the entire world is scary. But it’s not enough to make me want to have a kid. What’s the solution? I dunno.
Age is just a number. I learned from my mom (the best), when you stop moving, you stop moving – so don’t stop!
Related: if you’re on Peloton, check out yoga conditioning! I did a class the other day and I’m smitten.
And finally, if you need some ideas for that leftover corned beef, this hash is my fave, and these sammies aren’t too shabby either.
Have a great week! And if you want to follow along on my Jordanian adventures, head to my Insta. #IveBeenPETRAfied
