Weekday Musings

EATING // COVID cooking continues but we've picked up a few new goodies. Obvs the Alison Roman Honey-Yogurt Pound Cake with Raspberries but also these chicken gyros and this salmon with garlic lemon butter sauce. And for raining mornings and days, this Nongshim Udon is rocking my world (did I mention it's available in bulk at COSTCO?!) Lastly, for the perfect summer cocktail... check back here later this week, it's a drink you don't want to miss!

HOME*WORK // You guys! We're finally becoming adults and getting window coverings - huzzah! We were ready to pull the trigger but then the pandemic shifted our plans. And now with our tiny human waking us up when the sun rises at 5:34 AM, we are VERY ready! Don't burst my bubble, people - I need to believe it will all be alright and we'll be sleeping in again with shades - HA! 

CRUSHING ON // Eyelash extensions. For real. It's happening. It's the perfect lazy girl solution for full eyelashes that don't run down your cheeks by the end of the day and I'm 100% in. Can't wait to bat my new eyes your way!

READING // I just finished Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility and it's a must read y'all. This country has so much work to do and this book is a great way to confront racism and start learning what you can do as an individual. 

THANKFUL FOR // The Hubs. Father's Day is this weekend and you better believe I've got a few surprises planned to celebrate dear old Dan. We've heard about the "threenager" but Henry has been giving us a run for our money at the ripe age of two. Not a day goes by I'm not thanking my lucky stars to have the Hubs as a partner. 

THINKING ABOUT // Monday's Supreme Court decision which protects gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender workers under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Frankly my first thought was how has this not already been a thing. Literally how as the leader of the free world have we not been protecting our people? But it's a reminder of how much work and sacrifice go into changing the system, and as we all know there's lot more to do.

WATCHING // Shrill. We're probably late to this comedy series but it's painfully funny. Sometimes cringeworthy but also the perfect length (under thirty minutes) with our new goal to be in bed by 9:30/10 pm during the week. And it's set in Portland so we're getting moments at Tusk and even a random naked bike ride (because that really happens in the Rose City).

WEARING // Washing machine friendly clothing. Folks, Henry is on the cusp of potty training. We're excited but it also means we have a LOT of laundry in our future.
