Friday 5 and Faves – Get outta Dodge


I have a few faves this week. The picture I took after I voted:

The waffles my daughter made herself:

This baked boursin cheese wheel I made:

And my daughter at her first band concert:

  1. We head out for the Orlando area today and have I mentioned how much I hate driving down there? Sigh. I know it’ll be fine and sometimes you have to be tougher than that but ugh.
  2. I’m pretty ahead on all my work work, so I can leave without feeling too stressed. Catching up on a few last minute things then it’s on the road! Except it is also somehow still raining, even though the radar shows nothing!
  3. I finally got a good night’s sleep last night. Night one I could not sleep and suffered. Night two, I got in the sauna and took an allergy pill and that allowed me to sleep most of the night. Then last night I was just exhausted and slept all night! Now I’ll go down there and our schedules will be all crazy. I realize this makes me sound like an old person but I value my sleep!
  4. Observation from being a solo parent all week: it’s so much easier than when they were tiny!
  5. You know what one thing I am really looking forward to at Sea World? Feeding the sea flap flaps. They are my favorite and so fun! I know it costs extra to buy the little fishies you give them but it’s such a cool experience.

  1. Sea Flap Flaps! Love their “real” name!

    It’s funny/ strange how much we obsess over our sleep quality as we get older. I don’t remember hardly thinking about it in my younger days. But now, I’m assessing every morning.

    Have fun this weekend!

  2. Congrats on the good sleep! I slept in until 6:00 am today. WHO AM I?? Your weekend plans sound fun! I hope you guys have a great time. Your pictures are so good!

  3. That’s your daughter with the clarinet?

    Hey, did the Tampa Bay Rays still have a tankful of “sea flap flaps” at Tropicana Field after they changed from the Devil Rays? (I know they don’t have them now, since the Trop has been destroyed….)
