Friday Flotsam

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrodoh!

I feel like I say the word sustenance way more often than I should as an adult.

No one warned me. No one said a word. “Listen, when you approach 50, you’ll say the word sustenance to your kids at an alarming rate.”

It’s all I say! All I ever say! Every single day! All day!

“No, dude, I need you to eat something with sustenance before you head out.”

“No, girl, you need more sustenance than that before you hop on that bike.”

“No, you guys, you need more sustenance than that before swimming. Something with protein.”

If you have not been warned, I’m telling you now, the older you get, be prepared to sling around that dang word like free kittens in a parking lot.

This is going to come out of left field (shocker), but I think I am ready for phase in my life where crows bring me shiny things. How cool would that be?!

Is it a phase? Is it an era? Who knows, but I’m ready for it! Did you know this is a thing? If you BEFRIEND A CROW (<–we’re starting a band), it will remember your face and bring you solid gold.

Just kidding on that last part but seriously. Maybe a paper clip? Maybe a rando gutter coin? I’m in. (I’ll wash it first)

Now, you know me better than to think I wouldn’t scream with horror at the idea of a giant black bird approaching me in my yard and getting close to me and looking into my soul. I would freak the efffff out. BUT! Shiny things. Let’s remember the shiny things they bring. And I don’t necessarily care that the things are shiny. I’m obsessed with the fact that CROWS ACTUALLY DO THIS.

This is my question to you all. We have blackbirds. Grackles. Starlings. Will they do the same or does it have to be a literal crow? (said with intense vocal fry)

Someone guide me on how I can make this happen in my life.

SUMMER POLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAH:

Ice in your water or no? Do you prefer tepid, room temp water so that it goes down easily and doesn’t assault the esophagus (<—we’re starting a band), or do you love the clinky condensation of ice cubes in your bev? (not to be confused with Bev. Ew.)

Team Ice Cold or Team Room Temp?

Weekend plans?

I’m hitting an estate sale with a friend this morning (I owe you video!) and then it’s USA soccer today, baby! We’ll meet a big group at a neighborhood brewery to watch the excitement. I’ll dress the part. And by “dress the part” I mean wear the EXACT SAME blue and white striped button down I always wear, ahahahhaha.

I have a Book Tasting video to post later tonight (for Funny Story, so you’ll not want to miss it!), intense yard work tomorrow before the storms come through, and some Father’s Day chillin’ on Sunday. Lots of soccer. Lots of reading. Easy weekend.

I did post a Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad on Tuesday that you should absolutely check out. It’s VERY good and stupid simple. And a how-to vid, of course.

Okay you guys, tell me how to find a crow to be my bestie and bring me a 1943 penny!
