Hello, Monday.
How are you?
Crawley is definitely giving us all Monday-face.
I hope you’re all having a great start to your week. My weekend was quite busy – errands and cleaning and the boring stuff- and also game night and birthday brunches and cake (recipe, coming this week!) and other fun stuff. A good weekend, says I.
I’m heading to California at the end of the week for some play and then some work, so pre-trip frenzy will no doubt ensue before then.
BUT, for now, let’s dish on what floated my boat this week.
Are you an overpacker? I actually consider myself quite an excellent packer and usually come home having worn everything or very nearly almost everything I’ve packed, and not-too-often finding myself wishing I had brought more. It may come from the fact that I sort of have pretty much a capsule wardrobe at home, with staples of skinny jeans, striped tshirts and sneaks my go-to for most occasions. If you’re an overpacker, here’s some [pretty grim] psychology as to maybe why you are.
Did you hear about this? I just can’t comprehend how anyone would think handing over $50K in cash would ever be legit?
I’m lucky enough to have a few handfuls of couch friends. After 40, isn’t that what many of our friends become anyway?
AA has more than a few refillery-type shops and they are fab! I do so much food and home goods shopping at these and I hope more pop up! Bonus? That $7 bag of organic oats becomes $3.50 with no plastic.
Speaking of AA, turns out others also think it’s the bees knees. Come visit!
Love fried chicken but don’t love to fry it? Here’s your answer. My mom used to make breaded pork chops all the time when we were kids and we had the unhappy task of battering them up. In the end- worth it.
My early-80s kin, we ARE the real ones. These are always fun reads.
Oh my gosh, why. Reiteration of the points made in the link above.
Slightly obsessed with the new Netflix show “One Day” but also will probably never or rarely ever watch it again. IYKYK.
That’s it. Have a great week!
