Happy Friday, everyone! John Mayer’s new album came out today, and I’m celebrating by driving across the country to pick up my children. If you need me, I’ll just be listening to Sob Rock on repeat for 10 hours. Enjoy these treasures!
⚽ I’m a big fan of the show Ted Lasso, and can’t wait for season 2’s release next week! I’ve always thought Jason Sudeikis was hilarious even in his SNL days, but really latched on to the wholesome, funny character he embodies on the show. GQ wrote an article about him and his experience playing Ted Lasso, as well as the ways Ted and his life have strangely mirrored each other this past year (ahem his divorce with Olivia Wilde). If you haven’t binged the show yet, you still have a week to consume the 10 episodes in season 1. You can do it. I believe in you.
🩴 My favorite summertime shoe purchase so far has been these Teva sandals. 1They are cute and more important very durable when my 3-year-old decides to soak me while “watering the plants”. If you have a favorite summer shoe, let me know about it in the comments!
🍽️ Last weekend, I ate my way through Asheville with my sister and had a ding dang blast! A few of you sent me some stellar recommendations and they DELIVERED. If you’re visiting anytime soon, check out these Asheville recommendations, as well as some great spots endorsed by locals like the Exvangelical Parent and my friend Lyndsey. One such establishment I visited (Biscuit Head) has a magnificent menu item called the “gravy flight”, so if you’re into flights of biscuits n’ gravy, you need to add it to your list. Thank you, Asheville, for your carbs and fun hangs!
🥂 I’ve decided my celebratory moving drink is going to be this Lazy Sangria cocktail by my friend Bri McKoy. It looks cold and delicious and full of peaches, which are in perfect season right now in Alabama. Gimme dat.
It was a great week on Twitter, enjoy the bounty:
I feel this right now on a very deep level:
Alright, that’s all folks! At some point when I finish this project, I will send out a big ‘ol newsletter. But for now, I’m just trying to stay hydrated and not stick to the seats in my car during this trying and swampy time (July). Eat some ice cream for me today, lovelies. See you in the comments!
Hello! This is an affiliate link!
I need to check out Ted Lasso. I keep seeing so many comments about it. Let me add it to my list!
Good morning internet friends! I have been a little dormant. I am preparing for a move to Nashville from Mississippi. I have been having some terrible anxiety because of all the parts going in to the situation.
1. My last salaried paycheck came late June. I still have month to pay for August for two places (where I'm moving from and where I'm moving to- on August 14th).
2. I am worried I won't have my student loans to pay my September rent.
3. I have had a headache for 5 days just from the stress of preparing for the move and honestly, because I don't have a job. I've literally never not had a job. I don't like asking for help. But I did decide to post in the We Got You spreadsheet.
4. I have been working two side gigs to try and make some money, but I'm still so nervous. Trusting when you can't see how things will turn out, especially when it comes to money, is very hard for me.
Any encouragement you can send my way is very welcomed. As well as anybody who lives in Nashville who would like to hang out- let me know because I don't want to be too much of a hermit.
