Well, I'm here at the courthouse for another grueling workday! (We're rotating and probably working a maximum of three hours a day, three days a week for the next month. It'll definitely go from one extreme to the other when everyone comes back together and we finally have to deal with all the cases that have been postponed! But for now, in the midst of a heavy atmosphere in the world, the light workload is nice.)
I wanted to share this awesomeness with you guys. It's John Krasinski highlighting some positive news stories and interviewing Steve Carell on the 15-year anniversary of The Office, and it's all fantastic!! (Right down to the Anchorman news team poster in Steve's house and the Dunder Mifflin mug behind John. The sign made by John's daughters is also really cute!) We could all use #somegoodnews right now!
I'm also a big fan of Jimmy Fallon, who's been filming The Tonight Show from his home lately. His daughters are super cute, and it's a treat to see him and several other celebrities just hanging out at home, being parents! So check that out if you're in need of something fun and new to watch. =)
And now, a quick update...
Lol it's definitely been interesting so far, but overall, I'm feeling a lot of gratitude and hope today.
Here's another encouraging quote from the 2014 Survival Kit:
The weather has been beautiful lately, so I've been taking lots of neighborhood walks (me and 95% of America, it would seem). I also randomly decided to open my windows, since there's a screen to prevent bugs from disturbing my peace. lol It's been really tranquil and nice listening to the birds chirping and the wind blowing and seeing everything blooming and turning green. Creation is sending a pretty clear message about life and growth and renewal and seasons changing, and it's good to slow down and pay attention to it, even from the comfort of the indoors! ;-)
In non-workout news, I made a cherry cobbler this week. lol YUM! Thanks to Elizabeth for teaching me about that one and making me realize I'm a bigger fan of cherries than I thought! (I think it's technically called a dump cake, but cobbler sounds much more appealing. lol)
The comment on this made me laugh out loud!
Speaking of, the Google Hangout with Holly & co. was fun! Everyone seems to be doing well, and it provided lots of entertainment and quotable moments...
Holly (texting): "Everyone still good to chat at 2pm CT?"
Rach: "What time is that in Oklahoma?" lol
Holly: "I haven't owned a car since high school."
Rach: "Holly, we live in America. Get a car!"
Also Rach: "This all could've been avoided if people would take my advice. Like, don't eat bats!!" lol
Homeschool is off to a good start... Mom put this shelf together for me to use when I'm there staying in "Kyndal's room," but it's come in quite handy as a notebook holder and school shelf right now!! ❤
This was one of their post-class activities this week. lol Rainbow hair wax for the win!
Finally, here's a cute throwback pic from Easter 2016... and a reminder to *pray for my dad,* who is having surgery to place a heart stent this Thursday!!
Hope your week is off to a good start, friends! =)
