Doing Things

This is a big week for doing things -- things a little outside my quarantine box.  I'm headed to Gibbs Gardens with a friend who is being careful, but careful outside of my careful box LOL.  We'll walk on wide trails, outside.  I'll have a mask for if things get too "tight."  I haven't seen her for 8 months -- wow, time flies.  I'm excited to have a good conversation and a walk in nature.  This week's weather is magnificent.   

I'm delving a little deeper into plant based eating.  I've been doing Meatless Mondays and I like it.  I'm going to watch Fork over Knives documentary on Prime.  I don't plan to become vegan or even vegetarian, but I like the idea of eating less meat.  This comes primarily from a cruelty to animals.  Our county is heavy with chicken farms and I see "the" trucks a lot.  I have a hard time eating chicken right now because it makes me sad.  Quarantine is the PERFECT time to experiment with eating habits while not "inconveniencing" others -- something that's a pet peeve of mine.

Tomorrow is my BIG FUN day -- headed to the jeweler to design a birthday ring.  I have a picture and it's vintage inspired and beautiful.  I'll share more after tomorrow.  

My bestie turns 50 next week.  I sent her gourmet ice cream from Jeni's (GF and DF options) that arrives today.  I have a big box of fancy gifts I'm mailing this morning.  Her family is putting together a video and I sent my video yesterday.  It was fun -- I used props and "acted" a bit.  It was full of good wishes and funny high school references (if I do say so myself).  Super happy with how it turned out -- very out-of-the-box for me.

I'm STILL waiting on my new fall green nail polish to arrive.  Fingers crossed -- tracking says it's on the move.  No news on the Kitchen Aid mixer.  I might call next week -- dang, it so pretty, but it's not looking good.  

I'll add this meme because it's funny  -- the best one I've seen.  DAVID!!!

And, on a quick side note ... yesterday would've been my big guys birthday.  Lord I love this dog and miss him so much.  We are lucky to get the love of dogs.  He was gorgeous inside and out.  XOXO sweet boy.  He knew how to find HAPPY.  That's what I'll strive for today.  Stay well.  Later gators.
