I live to play, laugh, & love. I do my best to be kind to everyone. I believe in dreaming big.
Major props to @justcrackanegg for keeping the ingredients in separate pouches so those of us that don't like cheese aren't forced into eating it!
Right?! I like the orange one... Because... I like the orange one... but I guess because it feels/reads more platonic and generic in my brain than red or pink, if I needed to put a reason on it. To me the orange heart means "like" vs red meaning "love" and pink being "flirty"...?
I refuse to learn the color coding for heart emojis. Your heart means what I want it to and vise versa
Friend, women do this, too. Sometimes we all just need a minute to breathe.
Why do men stay in the car for minutes after arriving home?
I was quite proud of my outfit yesterday. While I may be a wild child outdoors nature girl, I clean up pretty well.

WHY, if there was already High Fructose Corn Syrup as the 2nd ingredient, is STEVIA being added? The stuff is terrible and now I will pay for it by having the gurgs and more all night. HFCS is bad on its own, and stevia is just as bad. Just use sugar, dammit.
It smells like a freshly peeled orange in my apartment. I do not have any freshly peeled oranges. I now really wish I had a freshly peeled orange.

There's something about how the beach smells on a busy day. Fresh air, a multitude of sunscreens and tanning oil. Fabric softener from beach towels being unfurled. The earthy smell from the sand. Lighter fluid and charcoal briquettes. It's one of the most relaxing things to me.
"Kim, did you drop all of your beach stuff, almost spilling your cup of Red Bull lemonade, to take a picture of a spider?" YES. Yes, I did. How could I pass up this adorable little creature?! I believe it is a starbellied orbweaver (Acanthepeira stellata), but i could be wrong.

It's a jungle out there from way up here. Actually, it's not. And it isn't very high up, either. Perspective can make a joke of reality. 07.19.2025 #perspective #uphigh #jaunt #saturday #photo #photography #nature #landscape #walkabout #hobobridge #creek #summer #green


You guys. I may have finally done it. I may have finally recreated, to the best of my ability, the Cajun Chicken Sandwich and Waffle fries from Vango's in Marquette. If you know, you know. It is SO GOOD! #cookingathome #dinnerathome #cajunchickensandwich #yummy

LOLZ. The whole "predatory" interest rate thing. My student loan rates are the highest they ever been at 6.8% — credit cards are easily 22% or higher. Maybe you should have done what I did during the pandemic, which was HAMMER the principal while there was 0% interest.
So is anyone freaking out about student loans or are we just ignoring it since everything else is terrible?
Yep. My office assistant's physician wants her to 2x her statin dose to get her cholesterol down. I asked if diet and exercise had been talked about. Nope. Just keep pushing the pills on people, to have them take more pills due to the side effects of the first pill.
The state of medical care in this country is terrible. My husband's primary care doctor missed the warning signs of his prostate cancer because he was too concerned with pushing statins and sleep studies (neither needed) on him because they get paid to push this stuff. His…
07.19.2025 - Always Look Closer. Margined Calligrapher Fly (Toxomerus marginatus) I suffer from FOMO when I leave my camera behind, today though, while waving off mosquitoes I knew I'd made the right choice to only bring my phone, and in good fashion, God provided a prize.

I think I have a mosquito bite on my left eyelid. What kind of fool mosquitoes do we have this summer?
More people have shown up to the trailhead and now I have an insane amount of anxiety about getting out of my car and starting my walk. It's so stupid.
Heading out for a walk and rain is in the forecast so I didn't bring my camera because I just didn't want to risk it, even with the bag and rain gear for the bag, and now there's amazing light and I'm sad.
