The weather here has been outta control gorgeous lately, so yesterday morning, Livi and I met up with Meara and her kiddos at La Encantada.

Hi, Thai

All and nothing

Today was one of those days where I felt busy all day, but donโ€™t feel like I accomplished that much. Hereโ€™s to more productivity tomorrow. I did get in a workout (Zuuuuuumba) and went to hang out with my work friends for a little while. Iโ€™m on call this week, so since I didnโ€™t need…
