monday. in snippets.

I wrote this on the chalkboard today:

It's Monday.
The reminder couldn't hurt.

Tennis lessons again this summer.
Love it.

Post-tennis trip to Costco to restock the fruit basket.

I might need a nectarine intervention.

From Target:

"throwback" Garbage Pail Kid cards,
back to gross-out another generation.
The kids are loving them,
for better or worse.
{my brother and i had quite an impressive collection of these in the 80's.}

In my front yard:

the lavender has exploded.
The bees couldn't be happier about it.

On my front door:

A Saturday with nothing to do
equals time to whip up a 4th of July wreath.

Straw wreath + cut strips of burlap + hot glue
+ misc fabric flowers + felt centers.

Aaaaand...that's the extent of my decorating for the 4th.
I'm lame.

This was dinner last Monday:

crock pot pulled pork.
Easiest recipe ever:
layer cut onions, pork shoulder, pour one can of sprite, add more onions,
cook for six hours on high,
remove and shred and add a bottle (or less)
of bbq sauce.
Return to crock pot and cook another hour.
{if you don't have time you don't really have to cook it another hour
it just really cooks the bbq flavor in.}
Serve on rolls.
{with pickles + mustard, of course}

And this is dinner tonight:

leftover pizza from Zachary's.

You must do everything in your power to
get yourself to the bay area at least
once in your life to eat at Zachary's.

And invite me to go with you.
And order the stuffed chicken special.
And swear off any other pizza for life.

For reals.
