And also, add me to trying to find something to do with cherries. I bought a cherry pitter and am making cherry pie today as well.

I don't peel my zucchini. Like ever. Shred it for loaf, muffins, brownies etc., as well as leave the skin for noodles.

shellyr, CestLaVie, coconutbaconCherrymisu is like tiramisu but instead of kalua you use amaretto and bing cherries. If Tapa was working I would post a picture. It is done up in a trifle bowl. Well that sounds amazing!

Happy Saturday, everyone! We're having a lovely day so far.
I took B and met my best friend and her daughter, we went to an annual art walk in our city and wandered around drinking iced coffee for a while. Then B and I came home and ran in the sprinkler with the dogs, had some lunch, and watched a bit of TV before his nap. Then H and I spent an hour on the deck having drinks and playing Yahtzee. Now I need to start getting ready soon, we've got another wedding to go to tonight.

45thparallel, yeah the slow wait wouldn't be bad at all, except that they called his references in May and they required 2 current supervisors. So his bosses have known he's probably leaving for 2 months now and don't want to put him on projects and are being real dicks. So that's the challenge.

Can't believe it's only been a couple of weeks. I didn't think the last episode was going to turn out the way it did, but I was so happy!

Hello from Vegas! I am having the best time. We spent time at the pool and then stuffed ourselves at the Wicked Spoon today. I heard that J was up every half an hour th first night I was gone. Poor H! But also I'm glad it's not me 😬

It's a Jurassic Park marathon for us. We are watching the Lost World. Damn, I'm glad raptors aren't around anymore.

We just got home. Everyone that tried the cherrymisu said it was good so I am happy about that. C may have met his future wife tonight. They were playing house, going to Target for food and something about a baby was mentioned but I blocked it out. 🤣 Now hoping sleep is better for all!!

Tapa not working is really starting to frustrate me. I wish this was all done at once.

I had a super productive day over here! DH is playing in a softball tourny, so it was just M and I for most of the day. We went to get paint and then watched one of DH's games. During M's 40 minute nap, I painted some small sections of ceiling (I hate painting ceilings, and we're moving, so I'm doing the least). We went to a bbq with DH's ball team and families. M was super cute with the other kids. Came home and put M to bed and I painted the first coat of the main colour on the main floor (doing the main living area and hallway upstairs...left the hallway, and accent walls). I'm trialing a colour that I might use in the new house. So far I think it's great!
Just finishing my beer and off to bed. Another busy day tomorrow! Night all!

We went to a local brewery which is connected to a local taco place last night. They had a sci-fi event going on. I met and talked to Tom proctor, who has been a walker on the walking dead since season 5. That was fun.

Prime Day is Tuesday and I keep hearing about this Instant Pot. So it s a pressure cooker slow cooker hybrid? Or it can be used as one or the other? The ceramic in my crockpot broke and I haven't replaced it... H is fine with me getting one of these, but I'm thinking Prime Day will be the best day to do that.

I just looked at one that has a slow cooker option.

Sorry for so many posts... I haven't been on because Tapa sucks, but I need you guys to navigate through life... I need help with how to ask my niece a question, or I guess I just need to make sure there is nothing wrong with the way I plan to ask it. I love this kid with all my heart, she is like one of my own. We've always been close and she and DD1 are like sisters. My niece who is in the Navy got married a few weeks ago. We found out on FB and it really hurt our feelings, but that's how everyone found out. She married a girl she met in January, I say girl because they are 18 and 19 (I think). My niece is being deployed in September and we want to see her before she goes, we had been spending a couple weekend a month with her until things got really f'd here. Anyway, she told DD1 who knows she's bi that they only got married for housing... but the things her wife posts don't line up with that. I don't know if that's what she's telling people because 85% of our family doesn't believe in equality or if that's true. H and I discussed it and while we'd like to meet the wife if my niece is actually in a relationship with her, we have no interest in spending time with her if this is really just something stupid she did so she can live off base. Is it okay for me to say Hey, when we come down we'd really like to meet xyz if you guys are really together, but if you really did just get married for housing, we'd rather not spend the day with one of your friends. Sorry- that got really long.

For those of you who travel- Bonus points if you've travelled to Europe, what site do you usually use to book your travel? Do you use an agent? DD1 just got her AA and will have the fall semester off before starting at a University in the spring. She and her BF want to go to Europe for a couple weeks they want to visit multiple countries and have preferences, but no place they have to go. I've mentioned TravelZoo and Groupon Getaways, but the dates on those seem to be in January right when she'd be starting school... I think a package deal would be easiest for them, instead of trek g to plan everything on their own... any thoughts or tips I can pass along? (She asked me if I could check with my August moms... lol)
