Surviving Weekly XXI {8.13.18}

One of my best friends is pregnant with her first child.  She texted me claiming to be in existential crises that she had just ate a carton of ice cream and got fake lashes and is wondering who the F she is! 

In that moment I had an epiphany.  Well calling it an epiphany is strong- but certainly a realization.  Being a mom, at least in my experience, is a series of who the F am I moments.  

Hear me out.  

First and most obvious, I have gone from loving the summer and never wanting it to end- to having a secret countdown on my phone for the first day of school, 6 more days for those wondering.  Who the F am I?

My husband and I just came back from a quick little getaway to attend my cousin’s wedding.  We were there three nights and before kids we definitely would have been day drinking, napping, heading to dinner, then  to drinking at a club, to late night eating to waking up in time to attend the wedding.  We would have been thrilled to learn that a DJ was playing in our lobby every night, and not in complete and utter dread.  The first night we were definitely asleep by 9 PM and we even found ourselves waking up to “work out”.  Who the F am I? 

I spend weekends at soccer games, I can’t remember the last time I bought a nice pair of heels, my pantry is filled with gold fish and fruit snacks, I bake banana bread, and can sing you any Disney song on demand.  Who the F am I? 

Back to my friend… after I explained how that would be the first of many an existential crises to come… I also explained how all these changes are maybe and probably for the better. 

I’m joking… while being a mom is a perpetual series of existential crisis and laundry.  I can definitely say it is the best kind and while you are tired and probably not as showered as you would like to be- you get more love than you could have hoped for. 

To the moms gearing up back to school- I will see you in Target!

When you look at Adam Sandler, do you just think dreamboat.

Well would you be surprised to find out that he is one of Hollywood’s best kissers? Because he is… Brooklyn Decker just went on Watch What Happens Live and gave the scoop.  Catch the article HERE.

Ever wanted to learn how to roll a doobie? If you are anything like the people I recently had dinner with, you already know how.  Where was I in high school when the class less for joints was taking place? Because I am a believer in always continuing my learning journey, and solely in the name of knowledge, I googled a how to and stumbled uponSeth Rogen giving this tutorial.

GQ just came out with a Best Bars in America list that proves that we aren’t old like the Teen Choice Awards tries to make us feel, but a good bar is just cool again. ClickHERE for full list.

A mother’s love.  Pictures have gone viral of a Killer Whale who has been carrying around her dead calf on her head for 17 days. Full story HERE

Beyonce, she’s just like us.  Or at least almost seems like she could be part human inTHIS video posted by one of her best friends.  Also, what are fish lips? Are they the new duck lips?

What’s on my list to watch next? 
Have a suggestion? Let me know! 

Insatiable: (Netflix) Netflix has been nudging me towards this show since it premiered.  I was hesitant, solely because it stars a girl from the Disney channel, and my theory on girls who star on the Disney channel is they go one of two ways: breakout to top taking slow transitional roles (think Selena Gomez and Hillary Duff), or do something provocative to prove they’re grown up (Bella Thorne).  This show is the latter.   I’m two episodes in, and I’m not loving it.  I have heard good things, so I’m going to journey on.  But it’s a dark comedy that is just a tad too dark for me.  Are you watching it? What do you think?

Bachelor in Paradise: it started last Tuesday! I’m sorry I don’t know how I missed it.  I will start watching it ASAP should I do a live Instagram story? Let me know!
