Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁

I couldn’t get my act together for a H54F last week because daylight savings kicked my butt—I have been SO TIRED. I would try to watch the 6:30 Action News with Pops, and it would turn into Action Snooze. 😴 Is it normal to feel completely jet lagged from losing one hour? Good grief!

ANYWAY, let’s see what’s brought the sparkle!

If you missed it, I actually posted TWICE this week (omg who even am I??), because Monday was my 10th Rebirthday! TENTH!! How?! If you don’t know, I went inpatient for suicidal thoughts on March 20, 2013, and I have considered that my “rebirthday” ever since. It was, after all, the day I started to take my mental health seriously. I’ve done more to commemorate it in the past, but nothing really felt right this year—except for a trip to the botanical garden. That made me—2023 me—feel excited and alive, so that’s what I did… just way in advance! 😁

Mica was not wrong when she spotted my sparkly headband—there was significance there! ✨And I wore it to therapy this week too! (Although Zoom doesn’t really do it justice.)

Has anyone been watching The Way Home on the Hallmark Channel? I’m only a few episodes in, but it’s been such a good juicy binge watch. And I too wish I could time travel back to 1999, ha! (I loved sixth and seventh grade!) The nostalgia is so real. I remember my mind being blown the first time I heard “Baby, One More Time” too and definitely struggled to record it off the radio like Kat!

Speaking of 1999 nostalgia… for some reason, Schoolhouse Rock has been the vibe during work lately. 😂 Mostly just “The Preamble” (which we did listen to in seventh grade Social Studies class) and "Three Is a Magic Number,”which is just so darling. I now know Blind Melon’s cover of it, and that is so good too!

Okay, apparently, this is just nostalgia week because I saw these at Target, and they delighted me, and I immediately sent a pic to Timmi, haha. I remember having a sheet of stick-on earrings as a kid and LOVING a pair of purple diamond-shaped ones with polka dots so much. I kept them in reserve for my kindergarten graduation. 😁
