Happy Friday, Lovelies!  How was your week? Let’s take a minute to hang out, shall we?

My week was kind of a doozy.

Here is the picture of how it all went…

I managed to catch the flu. The middle of this week was spent on our couch watching TV programs that I had vowed never to watch.

I dipped my toe into the  program Totally T-boz , a reality show featuring Tionne “T-boz” Watkins made famous by the 90’s girl group TLC. As someone who once dressed up as Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes for Halloween (It was sixth grade, let’s just say I was (am) a HUGE TLC fan – like, life-size poster on the bedroom wall, subscribed to both VIBE magazine and Word Up magazine, mostly to cut out the pages and paste them on my walls. It was serious. These were my people.) it is awkward to see them out in the world, “chasing waterfalls” if you will, to save their careers. In my head I like to imagine T-boz still clad in silk jammies and a belt made of condoms, creepin’ somewhere, being fly. Instead, she is just like the rest of us, hustling to find work and baking pancakes at one in the morning because she can’t sleep. Reality is sometimes harsh. In the process of trying to find you some TLC reference photos/videos, I happened across this “The 40 best R&B videos of the 90s”  hoopla and I currently have the “No Diggity” video blasting as I write this. No apologies.

I also watched one episode of The Carrie Diaries. That sentence makes me sad just looking at it.

I got bored. I doodled foxes holding hands.

I got antsy and baked things. I baked you biscuits. I made a batch of granola. I also whipped up a batch of Tracy’s Raw Shortbread Cookies. 

There were also bowls and bowls of lentil soup consumed. Recipe coming next week!

I juiced all of this citrus. Not pictured: separate bowl full of grapefruits and oranges. I got really serious about my vitamin C. It helped me to knock out my flu in a couple of days. BAM!

I fished all of these things out of Emma’s mouth. There are several rocks and sticks that are also not pictured.  For those of you who do not know, I am currently living in the house that I grew up in. The last time there was anyone playing with trucks or washable markers in the yard was the early 90s. Emma finds weird things. She also dug up a disintegrating football and almost managed to eat what was left of the laces. Sneaky.

I watched some funny online videos, like this dog skyping.  I also got a tutorial on a pretty great party trick. Get your straws ready.

I folded a lot of laundry while listening to episodes of The Moth Podcast. I love good story telling.

This is Emma getting comfortable. Don’t let me wake you, Princess.

There were some pretty sunsets this week.

I am so happy to be healthy again and ready to have a bang up weekend!  What are your plans? How did your week go.  Tell me everything.
