Phoning it In (#23)

I'm having deeper thoughts for a later post, but for now, I'm throwing in all. the. photos.

This random FB quiz feels... a little too accurate. lol  I'm overwhelmed if I think too far ahead, so I'm regularly reminding myself that God's grace is freshly available day by day!!

Bringing all my (2010) rock star energy to the new year! lol  AI photos are fun!

And now I want pinkish-purple hair and grey-blue eyes and hot pink lipstick (and weight loss), but I'll skip the neck tattoo. lol  I made the most of my free trial of this app, throwing in pics of myself and a few friends. =)

Rock star Sarah (made me happy that they gave her black nails and turned her wine bottle into a guitar and her cup into a microphone) + comic book Lindsey (yay blue glasses) + business Chettles (looks super legit) + "night city comics" LB - fun!  =)

Four former OSU teammates playing against each other in the NFL.  A fun moment I definitely wouldn't have known about if not for Mom. =)

The Mini Miss K having a victory croissant at Cheddar's (her restaurant of choice after her volleyball win).  We got there and she cutely said, "Who wants to sit by the volleyball champion!?" lol  I freaking love it when she's proud of herself!! ❤

YAY.

Coach Erin and a thrilled Kyndal Faith and Rach!

I think we were all surprised when they won first place in the silver division for 10-year-olds. Their hard work and 3+ hours of team practice every week is paying off!

Team huddle.

This Redland Rendezvous tournament was at the State Fair grounds.  In addition to paying approximately $1500 per girl to play on these club teams, nearly everyone in the audience pays $25 to come watch them play, and they charged $10 for a corn dog. lol  That's not to mention that the majority of their tournaments will involve a road trip and hotel stay.  All obviously fun for the girls, but insanely pricey!

❤ (These were in backwards order because I couldn't be bothered to re-select them when Blogger got that wrong).

Proof that I can be a leader and talk people into things when I want to. lol

Sophie and Melanie and Caroline - I just love them and so feel like we're friends after laughing through 400+ podcast episodes. =)

Another podcast "friend" of mine is Annie F. Downs. For this 10th anniversary year, they're bringing Eddie Kaufholz back for a monthly episode, which delights my soul!

Meme that made me laugh

Me, with this post (and so many of my posts and texts, really). lol

I read yesterday about how they took out the Bellagio trees to get ready for the Las Vegas Grand Prix race that happened on the strip in November 2023, and now they're gradually adding those trees back, which all seems very Vegas-level extravagant!

Annnd that's all for this post full of randomness.  Today has been a lot, and I needed something lighter, so this was good.  Happy Tuesday!
