Hi world. I'm still alive.

Currently, I am...

Drinking: red wine because it's Thursday night and my Memorial Day weekend starts now.

Loving: the new Beauty and the Beast teaser trailer that came out a few days ago. Watch it and be amazed. (The music is enough to make me cry. Gah.)

Reading: Always Emily by Michaela MacColl. I found this YA novel on my bookshelf when I was looking for something to read this week and thought why not. I'm about 50 pages in and honestly, not crazy about it. I remember it originally sparked my interest because the main characters are the Bronte sisters, and although they're 17 and 19 in the book, it reads a little young. I might have enjoyed it more ten years ago. In other news, I just finished The Book of Lost and Found by Lucy Foley, a novel that is 100% worth sharing. (If you want to borrow my copy, shoot me an email!)

Stressing over: nothing, really. I think that's the first time I've ever been able to say that, and it feels so good.

Thankful for: the means to turn my hobby into a career that I love. I'm very lucky.

Listening to: the new Beauty and the Beast teaser trailer. It's playing on repeat in the background.

Learning: to take better photos, and to edit them using Affinity Photo and Photoshop. Working on those photography skillz, y'all.

And a little bonus fun fact: This past weekend, I experienced the magic that is Reve Coffee Roasters in Lafayette for the first time, thanks to my uncle. It's kind of the coolest coffee shop ever. (And yes, I will be replicating that Coffee Belt map in my own kitchen one day...)

Mmkay, bye.
