Hot Damn Monday! The weekend was a thing of beauty. The Monday Flex is real. Lunch: normal salad punching above weight! Balsamic, Ranch, Italian dressing, with Mexican shrimp. And yes, will be eating a fine Indian dinner tonight with friends, cause why not enjoy your blessings!

Happy Sunday! And what a beautiful Sunday it is!☀️🐾🌺

It’s showtime!🌗😎 I was able to snag the highly sought after solar eclipse glasses. Decided to give them to my folks (my stepfather is a space nerd). Besides, Old Blues Eyes ain’t interested in looking directly at the sun. We’ll take the warm weather.
P.S. My parents are cute!❤️

Monday: Rise and shine! It’s a brand new week of possibilities! The whole world is out there ready for you!

Me: …
