The tulips in my yard have already lived and died (and ten other random facts)

Fact #1: Eva has started saying she wants to marry Jack Black. Imagine Jack Black as my son-in-law. How fun (and weird) would that be?

She writes him letters

Fact #2: I have the vacation bug. I’m itching to go somewhere. I want to book a whole summer’s worth of adventures. 

Fact #3: Zoe and Eva pulled quite the April Fool’s prank on us. I don’t know where they come up with their big ideas. 


Fact #4: For years I’ve heard about Coachella and never paid attention to what it was. Today I finally googled it. Apparently it’s a music festival? Okay then. 

Fact #5: We have the beginnings of our garden in place. The peas, onions, radishes, carrots, and potatoes are successfully growing. We usually plant our cool weather crops around Saint Patrick’s Day and the rest around Mother’s Day.

Fact #6: I really want to start a commune. And possibly my own cult. There will be strategy board games. Corn hole will be outlawed. We will have lots of potlucks. 

Fact #7: Costco has Snoop Dogg chips. I had them in my cart, and then I ended up putting them back. We don’t need Snoop Dogg chips. I mean… we kind of do. But we don’t.

Or do we?


Fact #8: I actually don’t like kettle chips very much, so that made the Snoop Box a little easier to walk away from.

Fact #9: I just finished the season finale of Shrinking. This week will be the season finale of The Pitt. Will I be able to go on without my shows? 

Fact #10: It took me over a week to finish this post.
