One of our PRN techs at work has an Etsy shop and gives us her fun things for free. She has given me a sparkly XRAY marker holder for my badge lanyard and these cute R and L marker earrings:
If you know, you know. Thanks, Marlene!
I have made very tiny steps forward cooking for myself. One night this week I made a smashburger with sauteed onions on the last two pieces of butter bread, sweet potato fries on the side.
I also cooked what felt like a vat of taco meat, to freeze in 5 ounce portions.
There was a little bit left, so I plopped it onto my French bread pizza and drizzled with Mike's Hot Honey for lunch. So good.
While I was rooting around finding my gum parker, I also found these two lovely ladies from 1975ish. I bought them in Chinatown in San Francisco on a road trip one summer. My mother, brave woman, took my sister and brother and I cross country from Galveston. Along the way we saw the Grand Canyon, Calico ghost town, Las Vegas, the Hoover Dam, and Alcatraz. It was like a field trip on steroids. Mind you, this was before cell phones and internet. Just a single woman and three kids under the age of 15. I remember it as being an adventure...
The plant I had in my mother's planter bit the dust, so I am trying my hand at succulents. Anyone got any tips? So far, these two love the hands off approach of little water and sunny window. I will never be accused of having a green thumb. There are a couple of pretty rocks in there for color. One of them was from my youngest who thought of me on a field trip to a rock show may years ago.
The World Market near me is moving, and so everything in the store is at least 30% off. Since they will be there thru June, I will visit again close to the end of the month for some last minute deals. Meanwhile, I scored some sugar-free Torani syrup for cheap as I have kicked my creamer habit. Might be a good time to get stocking stuffers!

I am not the greatest with plants either; I do well with them until they start not doing well and then I have no clue how to save them. Your food looks delicious!
Cute earrings. Your smashburger looks delicious and I'm sure it was. Kudos on kicking the creamer! Have a great weekend.
The best thing you can do with succulents is to just ignore them. I ignore most of mine, and I was surprised to see one of the trailing ones in full bloom. They do like the sun, and just give them a little bit of water once a week. They pretty much let you know if they’re drying out by, well, looking dried out. You can’t kill them.
I've always wanted to pop into a World Market. They have the neatest things online, but shipping is crazy expensive. Unfortunately, the nearest one is hours away. Enjoy your shopping!
I love your earrings! They're fun!
Your mother surely was brave taking 3 under 15 on such a trip. Or maybe all 3 of you were more cooperative than the average
pre-teen/teen.
Stocking stuffers already? You are on top of things.
Love that you saved the rocks your child brought you and included it in your planter. Love the L R earrings.. I can not tell the two apart and alway have to make an L with my hand to remind myself which is which. The bread with all the ground beef on it looks soo good.
