Groceries and benches

Iโ€™d like to take a second and thankโ€ฆ. -our neighbors, who brought over the best enchiladas Iโ€™ve ever had. A bold, very true statement. (Savored it- cheese and all. If someone makes the tortillas and sauce from scratch, you need to have the full experience. I wanted to curl up and live in that enchilada)…

Primal

Totally called it.   The Pilot woke up, saw that the birds were still failing miserably at their nest attempts, so he built them a nest platform. Cribs, bird-style: He did a good deed, and I think itโ€™s for our benefit, tooโ€ฆ I would be traumatized if the baby birds fell out and crashed onto…

While I was sleeping

The Bird House

When we were feeling domestic the other day, the Pilot picked up a hummingbird feeder, since we had quite a few different bird feeders in Valdosta. Itโ€™s been really successful. I came downstairs the other morning, and a HUGE turtle dove was eating out of the hummingbird feeder. I hope thatโ€™s ok? All of the…

The protein debate

Guess who grilled last night?! Actually no, not me. It was fun to pretend for a sec and โ€œcheck on thingsโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‰ We did the usual routine: I prep, he grills. The Pilot is just so good at it, and you shouldnโ€™t mess with perfection, really. The star of the show was the veggies: salty…

Focus On: South Beach

It SNOWED in Tucson yesterday! My snowman dreams were crushed when it didnโ€™t stick, but still very exciting. Tucsonans donโ€™t know how to drive in the rain, let alone snow, so we played it safe and had a low key day over here. My only excursion: A ride on the spin bike ๐Ÿ™‚ Dinner was…

Luck of the Mexican

It was a glorious St. Patrickโ€™s Day and Saturday over here- hope yours was as well! <3 The morning started off on 4th Ave, which I havenโ€™t ventured over to in quite a while.

Fast food

Night weeks, Iโ€™m not a fan. Source Iโ€™ve never loved night weeks because I miss having the Pilot around- it just feels lonely over here. Liv and I have had fun hanging out at the house together or meeting up with friends, but we havenโ€™t seen much of the man of the house for the…
