Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

It was a day. #backyardhappyhours #firepithangs #springiscoming

When you have a busy Monday and a dentist appointment and your husband makes dinner. Semi-joke, David makes a few things from scratch but we had these in the fridge. We just had to make it fancy.

Made some curtains for my office today. We will eventually painting the calls a dark blue so the yellows and peaches I have going with furnishings, pillows, accents etc. will really pop.

7 years ago I went on a first date with a guy who hit on me because of the shirt I was wearing. It wasn’t because it showed my boobs or was expensive; it was because if was Star Trek Related.

Happy Dating Anniversary, Boo Boo! I will forever try to Dirty Dance lift you.

Squad roll out. S’go birds!

Listening to some 90s alternative (Hole radio on Spotify) and playing Tears of the Kingdom in my attic office/craft/gaming space. 16 year old me would be so envious.

New Couch Who Dis? Upgraded the couch in my craft/lego/office space in the attic. The grey one is in an area of the attic that I’m making into a cozy reading area for me and encourages fort building for kids.

16 years ago we lost Heather. Not a day goes by Insont think of how much we just want her here.

Last sticker for my new work laptop came; she is complete and I think showcases a pretty good snapshot of my likes, interests, and passions.

Great Saturday with friends Pt 2:
After the stained glass workshop met up with Jackson for a long over due catch up and to do an Eagles/Taylor Swift craft. Reggie loved the box I brought for a mat that I winded it up not cutting it up.

Good Saturday with friends- PT 1: Sarah and I took a Stained Glass 3.5 workshop at Greg Stefan Studio in Northeast Philly today. It was a great experience and we both decided to also do the 1 day workshop that is next in the series of classes to continue to learn this art.

Important discussion among friends.
