Old Skool KERF

this !

Surprise! I figured I’d throw back to the old days and do a series of live blogs today! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner – hold on to your hats! Haha.

Mazen woke me up at 7, as he usually does, with snuggles in my bed. His latest thing is running across a room and saying “HUGGIE!” and today he did that and dove under the covers with me. It’s the best way to wake up! (Actually I was already awake and checking emails on my phone, but still : ) )

We were not alone, though, because Thomas and Gus have moved in with us! After a long time of going back and forth, we decided to consolidate our lives here, and we are so happy <3 He is renting out his house (which he owns and renovated), so that’s been a great financial bonus for him too.

Good morning Gussie!

Thomas’s full pot of delicious regular coffee has definitely had an impact on my caffeine adventures ; ) Full mug of regular today – no more, no less.

I made banana pancakes for breakfast per Anne’s recipe:

We had mango on the side. The best way to cut a mango is to slice off each cheek and then cut those into thirds and eat them like you would orange slices.

Mazen and I shared the pancake, plus he had a little smoothie.

He’s been playing postman this morning, and he wrote me a love letter and delivered it. It was a jumble of letters, but I made out “From” and “Mama” in the mix.

I gotta run or we’ll be late for preschool!! See you for lunch!

      He has done great. He loves Thomas and Gus so when Mazen and I talked about it he saw it as a good, exciting thing. And it might seem like a short period of time to you guys but it feels like a long time to us, the livers of the life 🙂

    How exciting that you have new roommates! I love mango too, and have been eating a ton of it since finding this easy way to peel it. I don’t know where I heard about this, and in fact I could have learned it from you, but this is life changing. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGOgM6yo-E0

    Yay, congratulations! When you know, you know! Especially in your 30s, quite different from dating as a teen or in your 20s! I would love to hear how you’ve merged two homes into one, with all of the various physical belongings that come with that process. I know you have a complete household, and I assume that T has one also (only assuming because you said he owns a home as well). Maybe an idea for a blog post in the future? 🙂

      So true.

      I’d consider a post on the topic, but it wasn’t all that complicated. He didn’t have a lot of things in each category because it was just him at his house before, and he wasn’t particularly attached to a lot of his furniture/housewares. Anything sentimental we made room for, and we’re still working on finding spots for artwork, etc.

    The key to dog hair is to Swiffer (dry) a few times a day. The vacuum just stirs it up. I got some micro fiber cloths and use those on my swiffer so I’m not buying the pads all the time.
    Happy habitating!
