I had a really super great long President’s Weekend, and hope you did too! Sort of last minute my #babygirl and her beau came home for the weekend! Yeah me! She actually said aloud that she wanted to come home and that she missed me! WHAH. Yeah me!
I must say it is weird to send her back off, traveling, and with a boy. It has always really been just the 2 of us going and doing…flying and laughing. When/how did this happen?
Have I mentioned that I LOVE my girl, hard?!
Anyway, on a lighter/brighter note, after last weeks emotional post, combined with my inability to finish more intense posts that I have started, I got to thinking…this is the perfect time to connect.
Remember US?
YOU + Me = US?
So, I thought this is the perfect time for us to chat….to get to know each other as people…
So, go make a coffee, or grab a glass of wine (depending on the time of day, silly head! I am not looking to have you drink wine before heading to work), and let’s dish. Let’s do what we would do if we were sitting across from each other as girlfriends and talk. As if we are seeing each other before or after class…or meeting up for a Saturday coffee or a wine after work.
Let’s get some lists going…I look forward to your answers in the comments section, and I can add them here to the post.

I have been making a lentil taco with roasted cauliflower crumbles on top and a home made dairy free dressing (sour cream substitute) drizzled over the top. YUMMMMMY!!! I am also WAY into curry and chickpeas….curry of any color! At home, we are eating a lot more plant based. I do still cook chicken for my people (but less and less), and almost no read meat.
