blah

Hi friends <3 How are ya? Hope you’re having a wonderful day.

It was kind of a blah morning over here. A potential book deal that’s been in the works fell through (if anyone knows how I can gain *expert* status as a military wife, please share the secret with me), so I think I’m going to put it on hold again for a while. I didn’t write that it was actually a possibility because I didn’t want to jinx it and then find out that it wasn’t going to happen.. and that’s exactly how it went down [literally]. I’ve been cautiously optimistic about the whole thing, but it looks like I’ll need to keep trucking along. I’m going to wait a while before trying again because it’s defeating to write new book proposals and then have them turn into just another random file on my computer [I’ve written 3 different ones].

I just have a feeling that something else is supposed to happen, so I just need to figure out what it is, and in the meantime am just going to continue to focus on making this little blog as amazeballz as possible, because that’s what brings me joy <3

I went to meander around two of my favorite stores:

Pier 1 and World Market

I just love walking around to get ideas for the casa –especially since we have a nursery, office and little girl’s room to decorate- and at World Market, I also think it’s fun to check out the international foods.

If I ever need a small jar of clotted cream or some lobster pate, I know where to go

I was also on a mission for pumpkin –none at Target or any of the close by grocery stores- but the closet thing I found was this:

pumpkin chips.

I’ll take it

Even though was kind of full from pumpkin chips –which are fantastic, btw. Just pumpkin, canola oil and sea salt- I figured I needed to have a *real* meal for lunch, so made a massaged kale salad beast.

Per usual, I sang to the kale. It makes it taste better

Today’s song of choice was “Sweet Kale of Mine” {tune of “Sweet Child of Mine.” I am a giant nerd. Especially since I don’t know all the words to “Sweet Child of Mine” so I was making the whole thing up}

Bella judged me.

And then I gave her a few chickpeas and she thought I was cool again

Bella LOVES fruits and veggies.. it cracks me up. Actually, she just likes people food. If I were eating a shoe, she would be begging for a scrap.

Of course, some things are not safe for dogs (like grapes, tomatoes, kidney beans and onions), but she absolutely goes crazy for watermelon, strawberries, peanut butter, cheese (aged goat gouda is her favorite), salmon, green beans, carrots and garbanzo beans.

Whenever I open a can of garbanzo beans, she comes sprinting into the kitchen:

[tonight said beans were for slow cooker channa masala]

It’s so nice to have have dinner waiting at the end of a long day

Time to eat and then take Bell on a post-dinner walk. I’ll also get that Family post up tonight <3

Something to talk about: Does your pet like veggies or fruit? What’s your #1 cure for a blah day?
