If it’s Friday and you’re making the spontaneous decision to go eat the best Detroit-style pizza before watching the Rockies beat the Cardinals 10-0 or it’s Saturday and you’re making pancakes in your pajamas, going shopping then having a kombucha date or it’s Sunday and you’re ordering a Bloody Mary then planting a flower garden and making a blueberry upside-down cake or it’s Monday and you’re running the Bolder Boulder, power-napping, BBQing and teaching your niece and nephew how to play Sardines…. OR it’s Tuesday and you’re tired and sore and sunburnt and feeling like you need a day off to recover from your day off, then it must have been Memorial Day Weekend!
Please know that I normally do not condone this type of run-on sentence, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Has pizza in the fridge but goes out for pizza: a Lauren Dorsey story.
The little boy next to Joey asked “are sunflower seeds healthy?” and I didn’t know whether to laugh or feel very sad, but Rockies won and I know how to feel about that!
Seems important to have a go-to, pantry-staple pancake recipe and I think this one for Whole Wheat Pancakes might be it.
Grocery shopped then clothes shopped (and Joey picked out both dresses I bought!) before having a kombucha date/monthly meeting re: stuff happening in June and how we did (or didn’t…) stick to our May budget. Injoycha Açai Hibiscus Guarana Jun for president best booch flavor!
Checked out Brazen for brunch and I know those chilaquiles look amazing but we were pretty unimpressed with the whole experience. You win some, you lose some.
Made another upside-down cake, but with blueberries and lemon (instead of cherries and lime) and gosh do I love this recipe!
Mostly wanna tell/show you THIS!
Planted little flowering bushes, re-seeded some veggies in our garden boxes, planted tomatoes & peppers… and a flower garden!!! Bought about 3x as many flowers as last year and it’s looking so good and cute. Fingers crossed that it all stays that way!
Felt like I could have used an extra three hours of sleep but we drove into Boulder and ran that BB10K and had the best weather. We piggybacked to the finish line, thinking it would make for a fun picture but joke’s on me because now my finishing time isn’t registering…
BTW, it was our EIGHTH Bolder Boulder, wowza!
Post-10K, we got iced coffee, napped, cleaned ourselves and our house up, then had our families over for some Memorial Day BBQ action.
Mom brought the guac to end all guacs (+ coleslaw and brownies!), I made our favorite cornbread + my new go-to potato salad (and that cake!), Joey grilled some chicken to perfection and Lori made an amazing pizza cookie. So yeah, I ate all three desserts and felt very good about that life decision ♥
We also watched Space Jam (that soundtrack though!), too many episodes of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Blue is the Warmest Color (which is 3-hours long with subtitles, oy!) and even though I’d like to be at home sleeping right now, at least there’s freshly made iced coffee and book club to make today a little easier. How was your Memorial Day Weekend??
Life as Lauren
