Phoning It In (#17)

We all know I take lots of photos every week, and I also tend to save memes and gifs that make me laugh... so this is just a catch-up post where I throw in all the recent pics from my phone, along with my captions. =)

I just love this quote!! ❤


I appreciate that Peloton now offers "mood rides" where the music is designed to fit your mood: happy, sad, confident, peaceful, determined, etc.  They're well done and validating, and even the sad ride is uplifting in the end!

I took T-man out to dinner on Thursday night, and we had a good talk.  Then I brought him back home and came in for a minute... and I got to see Jace's updated Transformer toy collection, and here's the Miss K posing with her glitter-pen unicorn drawing!! ❤

Friday and Saturday were my Court Reporting seminar... held at the Renaissance Waterford Hotel in OKC, which Mom reminded me was the location of JSB (CHA's version of the prom) my Junior year.  So I was thinking about that a lot as I walked those halls and sat in that ballroom -- that I was also there just over 20 years ago for my Junior-Senior Banquet, and posing for lots of pictures out here on this very sidewalk! =)

Steve and Sarah took a road trip to OKC to get some things he needed for work that Friday, so I met them for lunch at Whiskey Cake... my first time trying that place.  Meh to their main menu, but yes, please to the whiskey cake dessert (kind of a caramel cake swimming in caramel sauce with candied pecans and lots of whipped cream).

Baby Kate collage! =)

It was nice getting to see them and catch up a bit... please note my fancy "Stenographer" lanyard for the seminar! lol

That first day, I sat at the table behind Jerzy, the court dog... so that was fun!!


I also played on my phone a bit and did muted Peloton meditations during the more boring sessions. lol

After the seminar, Kyndal asked if I would read with her, and I gladly accepted that invitation!  She's an excellent reader... I was impressed! 

On Saturday, I sat with Marilyn during the seminar, and it was nice to catch up with her!  Our break was at 11:30, and I met Mom for a delicious brunch meal at the Cheesecake Factory... yum!!

One of our sessions was about staying motivated, and the speaker was talking about finding purpose in work, and she asked, "What do you really want!?" right as she put up this slide with a baby picture... so that was an interesting little nod from God!

We also had an afternoon session about tips and tricks for becoming more efficient/productive so that we don't have to work so many nights and weekends...
(...Super applicable content for some court reporters, but if you know me, you know why that's kinda funny!)  *Also, the above gif was from a live photo of me about to take a selfie during a traffic jam, then realizing we were moving again and feeling dumb about that. lol

Saved these Michael Scott gems when I was helping Rach think of quotes for a poster she's working on...

Last week, I put in a To-Go order and had the following conversation:
Guy on phone:  Can I get your name, please?
Me:  Lindsey.
Guy:  And do you spell that Krispy, like Krispy Kreme!??
Me:  .........Umm, no.  It's Lindsey, like L-I-N-D-S-E-Y.

Man, I laughed way too hard about that!  Who is ever named Krispy?  And who would spell it with a K?  Then I thought of Mr. Crisp from Sister Act 2 and started laughing again!

Yesterday, we finally got our long-awaited pool party at the Wilsons!!

It was Katherine Claire's very first pool day... she seems to be pretty relaxed and enjoying it!  Harvey Lane is also looking pretty chill on his raft... we all think it's cute that he crosses his legs like this! lol

Kate's first swimsuit!

Parker Elizabeth was also a fan of the water!

This = Tate entertaining us during dinner (pulled pork sandwiches with Sun Chips and broccoli salad).  This laundry hamper serves as a hang-glider toy and a great hiding spot! lol

They were drying these shirts here, and Sarah asked what was going on... Chettles said, "Oh, that's how I get my extrovert fix - just come in here and pretend there's a crowd and talk to everyone!" lolol

And we ended the night with another trip to Sugar Llamas, where we all got to sample different ice creams and donut flavors!!

In less happy news, as of yesterday afternoon, my nephew, Carter Lee, has tested positive for COVID.  They were all together yesterday, so please pray for his smooth recovery and that no one else in the family gets it.  The adults are all getting an IV infusion today that's also supposed to help prevent it or lessen the severity if they did get it.
(This pic is one of my favs of the niece and nephews from our Woodward Park photo shoot a couple years ago. ❤)

A funny meme from Chet Lee. lol

I was looking through old Shutterfly photos for my "Markalie" post, and I found this blurry pic of my side of our bathroom at 9121.  I'm sad about the poor photo quality, but still happy to have any pictures of this room.  To this day, I still have dreams where I'm getting ready in that bathroom.

And finally, August 26th was also Sarah and Steve's 5th wedding anniversary!  So here's a happy collage I made for that.  (I can't remember if it was the first movie they saw together or what, but they have a Wall-E and Eva bumper sticker, so that's why I picked that for the middle.)

And that's about all the random photos I have for you today!! =)
Happy Monday... make it a great week ahead!
