Sound on
Liam had little league tryouts last week and we should be getting an email soon letting us know what team he’s on and what his practice/game schedule is.
I’ve never had a kid in team sports before so this will be a first. I’m hoping Liam will get to be on the same team as my bestie Jamie’s son so I’ll have someone to talk to during practices otherwise I’ll just be a recluse 😬

Today was just about perfect!
The sun was shining, it was warm, and I took Rory on a date! It included a walk around Riverfront Park, dinner at my second favorite pho place, and shopping for Easter basket stuff for the kids. Now we’re snuggling on the couch watching a chick flick 👌🏻
I have no concept of tmi you should tell me everything
I haven’t slept well in several days and I’ve been hella grumpy the last two. I want to just crawl in a hole and disappear
Happy Caesar salad day! Or whatever…
There’s a local endurance ride this July that two friends have sent me links to asking if I’m doing it.
I’ve thought about doing one for years, and I even went and got an Australian saddle to train with/use for the ride but life got in the way and I haven’t been riding in over 2 years. My only hesitation right now is Sarge isn’t a young man anymore and he’s never done anything more than 15 miles. He’s Sam’s horse but she calls him mine and she sent me one of the links so if she thinks I can get him ready then I might have to give it a go.
@sammiedeubs and I are getting matching tattoos on Wednesday and IM SO EXCITED!!
We’re getting an eclipse with 13 stars between the sun rays since we ran our last 1/2 marathon during the eclipse. Sammie designed it and it’s so pretty. I’m getting mine on the inside of my arm and I think she’s getting hers on her ankle. I’d do it on my ankle too but I want to be able to see it easily so it’s going on my arm.
I’m so happy with how they turned out!!
Ahhh! I had such a great workout today!
I met Ror at the gym as he was finishing his last set of squats so I decided to see if I could PR my squats like I did last week. My goal is 185# because that’s 1.5 my body weight and that seems like a reasonable goal to me. I squatted 170# for 3 reps! *happy dance* 185 is probably only a couple months away!!
Anyway, it was back and biceps for me and I’m really loving how my back is starting to look.
Workout today was
Pull ups 4x failure 61/2-5-4-3 lol
Lat pull downs 4x10 110 lbs
Db curls 4x12 10lb dbs
Wide grip cable rows 4x10 70lbs
Hammer curls 4x10 10lb dbs
Lat press down 4x10 60lbs
Face pulls 4x12 90lbs
big fan of anything that shuts my brain off for a little while

7 have hatched, 1 is working on it, and the other 2 are a mystery because I can’t tell due to all the bodies and eggshells. I’m so happy!
My first chick hatched!! 🙌🏻
I love how working out can improve my mood so drastically. I was feeling very down about my failures the last few days (bombed a sourdough loaf, killed my seedlings, need help to start granny squares, and then today I decided that my eggs probably aren’t going to hatch) and then I met my bestie Jamie at the gym for a workout and ended up leaving feeling so much better about it all. Endorphins do a body and mind good
