We went a a little road-trip this week. We got in the car and drove North a few hours to see Taliesin in Spring Valley, WI. Taliesin was not quite what we expected* but Spring Valley was breathtakingly beautiful. Stop the car and take some photos kind of beautiful. But we didn't do that. We stopped the car and gazed…

In the spirit of requested inanity, I humbly ask GT for a playlist. We are driving across 3 hours of farmland this afternoon and will be doing so in car-shaking thunderstorms.

We're back tonight, friends. YISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Or checking stuff off The List.

In which I am held hostage listening to grown-ass people discuss Heaven Is For Real.

1. George has a better "I'm not impressed face" and BRF than Suri Cruise and me combined.

Apparently, it IS going to be a series.

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here but this is always one of my favorite posts of the day.

So, as vaguely as possible, it has been a tumultuous week in the Poppet household. Nothing terrible but life-altering for the time being. And while we knew it was inevitable, it is still strange to live it and experience it. It feels vaguely like a hologram mixed with a dream.

THANK YOU!

I know. I KNOW. It's an Open House. Most people won't RSVP. But dudes, it's next weekend and I need to order the salmon and buy the Smithwicks. And the difference between 50 people coming to our house and 100 people coming to our house is, like, KINDA A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

I know, I know. Today is Ash Wednesday and I am supposed to be charitable and kind and blah blah blah. But I have to complain somewhere because my eye-rolling is giving me a headache.

ManPoppet finished a project last night and we are celebrating here with the team (about 6 people). So, I have a 5 lb Round Roast and I want to try a new recipe. I like but don't love pot roast with carrots and celery and potatoes. I was hoping to serve this recipe with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted veg.

STOP "liking" your own status updates. Thank you and good day.
