Friday 7 Quick Takes (vol 86)


1.

It’s the last week of the month, which means there’s no set topic on Totes Awesome Channel.

I show off Bob’s new trick.

I requested a day off in April so I can meet Treavor up in Dallas and then drive over to Arkansas. Treavor wants to climb Mount Pinnacle to celebrate Earth Day and I want to scratch off Arkansas from my list and see Bill Clinton’s Presidential Library. I’m nervous, dudes. I am not an outdoorsy gal and I have weak lungs or something. I climbed Enchanted Rock and it was a growing experience, and now Treavor wants me to climb a mountain.

I guess I should stop taking the elevators at work.


Me in front of the rock that kicked my bum.

I’m working on emotionally decluttering my life. I unsubscribe from blogs that don’t do much for me. I unfollow negative people on Twitter that only seem to tweet snarky things about strangers. (I do enjoy the occasional snark sessions with girlfriends in the privacy of Gchat so I’m not saying I’m a saint.) I’ve cut down on following people that waken the jealous sleeping beast inside of me. I am withdrawing from relationships that weigh me down more than uplift me.

It feels good! There’s more room and time to breathe.

4.

I’m having more fun which means money is tighter. Boo.

5.

Don’t forget it’s April Fools’ Day on Sunday! Watch your back.

I’ve never been good at pranking people but it has been one of my reoccuring fantasy talents.

I will suggest that ladies don’t tell their significant others that they are pregnant if they’re not. Men, don’t fake a proposal unless there’s one very soon after your prank. Finally, it’s a bad day for a serious break-up.

6.

I’m checking out Kevin James with Alan at the Paramount tonight. I love being inside the Paramount theater. So old worldly. Then tomorrow I’m heading to Houston for a day for dad’s birthday and have a fun girl date with Kim while dad’s working. There might be some hair braiding. There might be a fort. There’s definitely going to be some bone marrow. It’s going to be a blast.

Enjoy your weekend, friends!
