AYOE 14 / The Wicked Witch and a Spider Walk Into a Bar...
Hey hey friends!
Summer is in full swing here in the South and we went from gorgeous, sunny days to super hot and humid ones in a blink. The long Spring season always fools me into thinking the weather is great here year round and then I remember it’s like living on Hell’s front porch for a couple months. 🥵
June is a wildcard on the coast because some years it rains the whole month (like last year) and others it’s more sporadic with sunny days sprinkled in. So far we’ve had a mix of sun and rain, but the days we did have rain we missed opportunities to cross some things off our Summer Bucket List (of course!) 😂
But we’ve still been having a blast!
So far this month we’ve been to see a movie in the theater (Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse - my teenager’s choice for her birthday) and watched Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse at home (yes I saw them out of order, but still enjoyed them both).
We also redecorated our back patio (so we can sit out there and melt 🫠), swapped furniture around in 3 different rooms of the house in preparation for our new living room couch (hopefully coming this week! 🤞🏼) and made trips to Target, Home Goods, World Market and Pottery Barn for decor.
Oh! And we threw in a few driving excursions for my soon-to-be-independent-driver teen (please pray for us both! 🙏🏼) so it’s been a busy month so far with things that weren’t on our bucket list. 🤪
Hopefully this week we’ll have good weather because I'm ready to start checking things off!
A Fun Substack Project
I also finished a fun project I’ve had on my list for a bit. 🥳
I took most of the essays I wrote during Ship 30 last year and compiled them into collections of essays on different topics. I’ve linked them below if you want to peruse them. Enjoy!
That’s all from me this time. I hope your summer is off to a great start!
