🐶 Lil Treasures #118: The Trinity and Spike Lee's Dog
Plus waluigi and letters from the President
Hey hey! We made it to Friday! Thank you for being part of my Friday morning routine, which usually goes like this:
Also, I got this mug to help me do all 3 of these things simultaneously.
It’s weird to operate normally these days when our friends in Ukraine are living in an actual war zone, but I’m trying to put on gratitude like lotion and take in these longer, sunnier days. And also there’s a chance we may not ever have to do Daylight Saving Time again? I’m still confused about if this can actually happen but v hopeful. I’m spending my time right now welcoming these seasonal changes with open arms and trying to breathe it all in (but not too much because #pollen).
I hope you find the time to do the same, even if you are experiencing the rage that comes with falling for the lie of False Spring. Hit me with your treasures this week! I need them.
For now, here are some of my own treasures:
🤝 I love a good and healthy debate! They seem to be hard to come by these days, but here’s a clip of one (about faith) between Stephen Colbert and Ricky Gervais this past week on the Stephen Colbert show.
🇺🇦 My friend Laura from Mama Systems has her brilliant ticketing system on sale for half off this week, and all the money is going to Madison and Yura Perekotiy’s War Fund. You can learn more about it here!
🥩 Gather ‘round all ye weary dinner warriors, it’s time to tag in Player 2 for their cooking shift.
🤧 Gulp. This one got me. Go get the tissues that are strewn in your purse!! You’ll need them for this video of a man with Alzheimers who has the biggest neighborhood fan club.
🎹 I also got very emotional about this video of a Ukrainian woman who plays her piano for the last time . The contrast of the soft + beautiful piano notes and the crumbled apartment surrounding it are something I will never forget.
3️⃣ The wise and wonderful Meredith Anne Miller once again hits the nail on the head with this post about the Trinity. Also, if you want some more Trinity content, check out this week’s episode of The Bible Binge, where we dig in to the subject x 3.
The good Tweets!
Let’s start with this kind reminder:
this guy is saying what we’re all thinking:
Can’t wait to read all your treasures! May these Tweets keep you laughing until we meet again. All the high fives ‘cause it’s the weekend, baby.
Happy Saturday - it was a crazy week, so I'm just now getting to enjoy the newsletter and comments. Spring in MN means cleaning up all the long-frozen dog poops in the backyard, so that was my first spring cleaning project -- many, many more to follow. Hoping that the milder weather helps elevate my mood and gets me out on Stupid Walks again.
Heading to IL tomorrow to celebrate my mom's 85th birthday! She's a force of nature, forged by faith, endless energy, and German stubbornness. We'll also be dropping my daughter off at college again after a sweet week of having her home for spring break. I had a blast with our 3 daughters when they were little, but it's also fun staying up late and watching trashy TV together.
Happy spring, y'all!
Happy Friday all! A mixed bag for me this week.
👍🏼 Finished reading/listening to Station Eleven this week. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
👎🏼 Someone backed into me in a parking lot this morning. Fine physically, but will have to get body work done. #inconvenient
👍🏼 The F1 season starts this weekend and I am PUUUUMPED!!!
