Hello, Sunday.

Yesterday was one of those best-of summer days.  It kicked off with a trip to the blueberry farm to pick 2 1/2 pounds of summer’s best (what am I going to do with that many berries?! Maybe…?), followed by a nice long float on the paddleboard, a stop for some of the town’s best ice cream and was all capped off by a fabulous nap, however ill-timed (7pm, whoops).  

Actually, it’s thanks to that ill-timed nap that you’re reading this today and not tomorrow, so I guess there’s that.

Today, my friend and I are hitting the bike trails and while you think we’re cramming SO MUCH into this weekend, it’s your reminder that summer is fleeting and will be over in a few short weeks. Get thee to the trails yourself.

This week didn’t go by in such a blur. I did stop to smell these roses:

Pray for your single friends. It still sucks out there.

Praise Jesus, the BMI is on its way out. Lord, if there was anything that could incite an eating disorder faster. Turned out, it was meant to measure white males.  Mmhmmm.

Also, leave my dinner alone.

These are your popsicles, and you are in charge.

The world’s longest flight. Gah. Could you do it? 19 hours? The longest I’ve ever done was 16 and I almost had it….I’m not sure I could hang on for an additional three.

Starbucks has nothing on Vietnamese coffee. I agree- that was some of the best coffee I’ve ever had (and if you want to order my favorite at home, Amazon to the rescue– though let it be known that I hate amazon).

I am The Lost Generation.

That’s all folks! More favorite birthday goodies coming at ya this week!

I’ve fallen into my annual summer slump, where I want to cook nothing and I want to eat even less. I found myself shoving food into my face at 9 pm the other night just because I hadn’t felt like eating all day and it all caught up with me at once.

I blame the heat as always and the marshmallow like effect it has on my body, which makes me want to eat little more than ice.

Not even ice cream, these days.

Hello, Monday.

How are you? I’m feeling a bit more rested and recovered after a pretty light week with the holiday and all, and I am so much better for it. D is in town this weekend and we’ve been doing a lot of sitting around and eating- so the best time was had.

Otherwise, trying to both make the best of the rest of summer without going SO overboard with it.  Can it be done? We shall see.

Here’s what I read this week- let’s go!

Cuteness overload.

How do we feel about lab grown meat?

Designer strawberries are on their way.

Apparently Grimace is making a comeback.

PFAS on your mind? Here’s what you can do.

Hoping to catch this next month!

Some 30 minute meal ideas – because I don’t know about you, but I need them.

It’s Breakfast at Wimbledon time!

Have a great week!
