Pride nails!

I went to a new place because neither guy I like at my usual salon was available… The guy did a pretty good job except he was clueless. I’m blaming the language barrier a little. I told him I wanted a rainbow—and I showed him a picture—and so I started to point to colors on the color ring and he took them away after I picked the first color. Ooooookay. So I thought Let’s just see what happens. And then after he did all the nail prep and he started to paint, I had to stop him and say I needed to pick some more colors. He looked at me in total confusion. So the receptionist overheard and came over and helped figure that out. And then at the end, I decided that I wanted to add the heart to the yellow nail—I’m super anal and was having anxiety over not easily being able to use all 6 colors, so when my brain hit on the red heart, I was thrilled!—and he looked at me funny and he pulled out the yellow again and I was like No, I want you to draw a heart on it. Can you do that? and he wasn’t getting it. So then the receptionist ran over again and said Design—she wants a design and then just did the heart quick himself.

A night at Great Wolf Lodge

I told the kids that if I ever got a decent deal I’d take them. So… Friday was the day. And they each got to invite a friend. Tom stayed home with the dogs and Anna came with me!

Aaand totally unlike me, I didn’t take a single photo the entire day/night… except one of Anna asleep at 8:03!

But the next morning after Owen left for his baseball game, the remaining three did the ropes course!

Getting higher!

Friday Fave: Sam’s shrimp ceviche

If y’all know anything about me, you know I love Costco and Sam’s Club. I have so many favorites at each place it would be hard to narrow it down to just a few things.

But today, I’m going to tell you about my new favorite thing from Sam’s Club—🦐 Shrimp ceviche! You may scoff at getting something like this from a warehouse club, but it was really good! Plentiful shrimp, fresh veggies, decent cost—I will admit that it needed salt, and then I ended up putting a little too much in … but I still had to stop myself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. 🤤
