Sun safety

As I look outside from my living room at the bright sun, I was thinking about sun safety. It is currently peak sun hours, so I'm staying inside right now (and the humidity is off the charts today). But, later today, I'll go on a walk with my "pack" and will make sure I have …

‘Friends’ appreciation post

I'm rewatching Friends right now starting from Season 1. Every time I watch this show I laugh so hard, and I laugh at new things each time. Friends has something for everyone for different parts of your life. The show was just so well written and well acted and just seems ageless. I mean, even …

It is "highly suggested" that we have a profile picture for our Webex profile. It looks more professional than the gray default picture, and it helps get to know people for when we do meet in person, you'll have an idea of who they are. I didn't have a good photo that I felt was …

Bridal ideas

Covid was still very much a thing when we went to the bridal show, so we found a cozy, private corner in order to take off our masks and try our cakes. On a side note, we did not mean to match! My best friend is getting married so I went with her to a …
