tea, poo, and stew

Holy crap, I made it another week! I’m sure it doesn’t seem like much, but trust me, it is. I’m forcing myself to shoot with my professional camera instead of my phone, which isn’t as convenient, obviously. I like it though, it’s helping me to be more creative when I can. I wrote the deets of the pictures below… I included some links as well..

Video chatting with my boyfriend, Olivier. No, I don’t usually have myself in the big part of the screen, but the other way around you couldn’t really make out the camera.

Look at this freaking angel. Did I want to make my bed? Hell yes, I wanted to make my bed… I just couldn’t bring myself to ask her to move. I call this the dumpling pose. Not a paw in sight, they are all tucked under her.

I visited with my friend, Marian. Marian is 89, I really like spending time with her. I plan to share more of my conversation with her here on the blog.

It’s hard to tell, but my dog cracks me up. She INSISTS on pooping in bushes, which is super fun to pick up. I realized I hadn’t taken a picture that day, so I grabbed my camera on our nightly potty break. Look how plump my baby is.

I stopped working out when we moved, it was all too much to keep up with. I told myself that since I walk about 5 miles a day, it was ok to stop for a bit. WRONG!!! It’s been a struggle to get back into working out, but little by little I’m doing it. I really like Built by Becky, I’ve been following her for a couple years. She will kick your ass, but you will see results.

We made stew the other night. It’s a trusted recipe by The Pioneer woman, I’ve been making for years. If you want an amazing stew that isn’t a ton of work, this is it. I try not to cook anything that requires 47 ingredients or 6 pots and pans.

I wake up every morning and open the curtains to this view. I feel like this is a good representation of this rainy season.,

Here’s to keeping promises to myself.
