A Week in the Life

.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.

I finally updated my blog's look. It's not 100% what I wanted, but the basic ideas are there. (Armadillo and sunflowers.) My computer drawing skills are very rusty and it will take some practice for me to get them up to where I can do exactly what I want. Until then, I am grateful for royalty free stock and photos. (Credits)

Unfortunately the new look doesn't work on mobile. It doesn't look terrible, but it doesn't look right. This is definitely going to require some practice.

Oh, hey, it's Easter. 

Is it weird that I didn't even realize when Easter was until last week? 

I've been slacking.

We colored some eggs. 

Behold, eggs.

And.... did some Easter Baskets. (+ two non-baskets for the adults)

That worm is mine. Those are some real OG TY Beanie Babies, btw. Tags and all.

For any new comers, my daughter (age 11) has Type 1 Diabetes.

Three years out and it's still a little tricky trying to find a balance of being sparing with candy and still have it be a treat.

I attempted to make deviled eggs for the first time. It did not turn out so well. I struggled to peel the eggs so they were ugly and I ended up over salting the yolks. 😰 I hate wasting food. The husband likes salt more than I do, so we shall see.

It was an exciting week for TV!

Largely because the return of Roseanne. I was so excited I redownloaded the Contour app to watch it live. (I never watch anything live, so this was huge.)

It really does feel like we never left. Now I have to go binge the original to get my fix.

Santa Clarita Diet! I have been waiting for this since I binged the first season during the 2017 superbowl. Definitely enjoyed it. I do think it got a bit weirder, but it's drastically less gory than season 1. 

What I haven't seen this week is A Series of Unfortunate Events! I have to hold off on this one since we watch it as a family. Luckily, it's Spring Break at our house and the husband finally doesn't have to work such long hours for the moment. We should be watching it slowly over the course of the week. :) 

Alex, Inc also came out. I'm unsure about how I feel about it. It's definitely charming, but I feel like it's not all there. It's a bit too early to call, but I'll be watching. 

I also checked out Splitting Up Together. I don't have a lot of feelings one way or the other towards this one. It wasn't bad, but it's a sitcom and it wasn't funny. I do like the idea of the show. I come from a mended & blended family that gets along, so it's nice to see this being portrayed on TV.
