Outside sun dog activated!

Perfect opening day at the pool!
Basically an empty park (there might be 30 guests here and that’s being generous—I’ve counted who I can see and it’s less than 30), perfect weather for me not going in the pool (it’s a measly 70°!), good music, a new book, and kids leaving me alone… I just wish they served margaritas!
I keep trying to get up and do things…
but Olive keeps whining to get on my lap. I’ll allow it since these days don’t last forever.
She couldn’t stay still…
Time to wake up!
And I finally caught her in a big yawn!
And then Owen came home…
And look what she learned how to do today!! Nooooooooo!!!
The evolution of Living Lippy!
Y’all have seen my avatar by now, I assume, since she’s been around since 2018.
Well, I figured four years was long enough to use the el cheapo Fiverr look (which I did love)…so when my friend Joyanne offered to design something new for me as practice for her new business, I jumped at the chance!
And I’m in love! I mean, who doesn’t want to look like a Disney princess?! And of course I still have my trademark margarita…but my hair is shorter and I’ve got a cardigan now (and I’m not quite as slim as I was back then). And yes, the margarita is a more realistic appropriate size!
That said, part of me is sad to give up the old me because it has memories…but we all need to grow and evolve…so in with the new!
This is what Katie considered picked up.
I told Katie to pick up your bathroom before the housekeepers got here. I can’t even.
Oh, and her closet. Filled with clean clothes that she said she already put away.
The boys’ 8th grade graduation!
Owen and Evan had a game afterward and Tom and Owen had to leave right from graduation.
As a school board member, Anna was able to hand her kids their diplomas.
WTHS Referendum Post card party
Today I got together with some new friends for a few hours to write reminder to vote yes postcards for the upcoming Referendum. It’s critical that this passes so the high school gets enough money for a full day of classes as well as extracurricular activities and sports.
Olive, Day 25
First time in a crate going to her first vet appointment…and chewing on the crate.
Trying to work with a sleepy puppy.
Well I thought I was taking fewer Olive photos.
Just a normal Sunday
Heading out to celebrate Evan and Aiden’s 8th grade graduation with dinner at Primo!
Perfect egg chair reading day!
1:22pm — started a book!
3:17 — about halfway finished!
I ended up finishing it in bed that night! I remember the good ol’ days when I’d read a book a day. I love getting to do it again!
Sleepy puppy, big snacks & play date
I might not have looked at how big the bully sticks were on Amazon.
Visiting with Honey again. Olive LOVES her.
Giving some love to colors I rarely use!
Today I’m giving some love to some shadow colors that I rarely use…but that are surprisingly good!
From the permanent line, Mulberry ShadowSense! From the Limited Edition colors, Fiery Coral Shimmer and Wind Shimmer ShadowSense!
They looked a little crazy together on my hand but once they blended together it looked great! And over overlooked Wind Shimmer for way too long—it’s amazing. I’d use it in place of Sandstone Pearl Shimmer in a heartbeat and it has a little bit of duochrome-ality to it!
So this is happening.
I saw this at Binny’s yesterday when I was getting stuff for Tom but didn’t grab it. Three boys (Tom and David) went back for more things so I had then grab it… because how could I not?!
It was VERY strong and honestly not my favorite.
Olive, Day 21
She’s so regal-looking here.
She found that napkin on the deck and proudly carried it under the chair and sat on it. I went to take her picture and caught her right as she started to bark at me.
She met Anna’s mom!
And Honey!
Owen’s final 7th grade band concert
They are fun to listen to…but it was a good half hour too long (due to the teacher talking so much about irrelevant things).
Olive, Day 20
Her first dandelion fluff!
I’d do this manicure again!
Today was nail day! I wanted five totally different colors and I swear they looked different on the sample color boards but on me they look closer than I’d like. Oh well, I still like them and I’d totally do it again.
Olive, Day 19
First hot, now cold.
You never know what weather you’re going to have for baseball. We’ve had perfect weather and both cool and warm days but today was downright cold (you can’t see my blanket in this photo but trust me it’s there).
Olive, Day 18
Olive, Day 17
This is a mini soccer ball and it’s still bigger than she is!
My first lilacs of the season!
OMGGGGGGG!!! I casually mentioned to a client that anytime she wanted to bring me a bouquet of lilacs…
And look what appeared on my porch today?!
My kitchen smells sooooo good!
Olive, Day 16
I’m trying to take fewer photos… Honest.
Sorry – apparently “shorts” don’t embed.
Olive, Day 15
She loves to hide under the ottoman.
YAWWWWWWWN!
Had to post a “work” photo.
I can’t even with the cuteness. And yes, I run on lipstick and sarcasm.
Baseball has started!
I missed the first few games because of weather and Owen being sick…but today was gorgeous! And we won!
I also don’t take as many photos these days…so this is all you get!
Brick FTW!
I haven’t done a red lip in awhile so decided this was the day. I pulled out Brick which OMGWTFBBQ!! is sooooooo good and I always forget it. It’s not super bright red so it’s a little less scary, plus it has glitter in it!
So then I had to do a nice subtle eye—and I am loving Fairy Dust Shimmer with Champagne Pearl Shimmer. It’s the first time I tried it and I’ll definitely be doing it again! (It’s another Limited Edition and I do have a few on hand!)
It did feel like a tiny bit much for an afternoon kid baseball game but who says you can’t look stunning for that?
Olive, Day 14
For the moment, life is perfect. I’m in my egg chair. The weather is 75° with low humidity and it’s shady. Olive has stopped biting my toes and is cuddly. Any bets on how long this will last?
Approximately 32 seconds.
Exploring the deck!
Playing with Honey’s ball!
Playing in the grass! Well, chewing on something in the grass.
Now she’ll suddenly appear behind you!
Mom, I know you get super frustrated with me when I constantly bite your feet (and no one else’s) so I’m gonna fall asleep on you so you still love me.
And another nap…
We taught her to use the stairs today. But she liked chewing on them too much so they got put away!
Callsign: Superstar
I’ve already got my Top Gun: Maverick tickets — and I just got my call sign! I might need to rethink my outfit though.
What’s your callsign?

We caught Katie on her Chromebook last night.
There was lots of drama—and lots of crying as she lost her scheduled sleepover. This morning we found this outside our door.
