On Friday, Alec's school had their senior prom and seniors are allowed to leave school at 10:45 (as long as they have parental permission) so that they can "get ready" for prom. Obviously, Alec does not need 8+ hours to get ready so he asked if his friends could just follow him home from school and hang out at our house all day. Of course I said sure and even offered to buy them pizzas.  They laughed their way through a movie (or perhaps TV show; I wasn't paying real close attention) They played Battleship They ran a good 30 minutes behind schedule with hair and make up even with Alec pitching in and helping one of this friends with their hair style so we were very late getting to the park for pictures with all of their other friends (and didn't get any at our house like we had planned). But it ended up working out well since the park was pretty much deserted by the time we got there and it had been really busy with 2 other proms in the area on the same night. Bef

A couple of times now I've tried to get into the habit of sharing a bit more regularly what we've been watching. I don't know about you but I often struggle with what to watch when one show ends... I try many shows and often get just an episode or a season in before I end up giving up on it.  Most of the shows we stream are NOT new shows. I tend to look for shows that have multiple seasons already lined up so once I get invested in the characters and storylines I don't have to wait around for new episodes to come out (but there are some shows we do watch as they air).  There have been a few shows we've really enjoyed lately.

While there he gets hired on as a concierge doctor to the rich; a job he very reluctant

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge.  This month Jodie picked straw bags.  I didn't have a straw bag but one look on Amazon and I had the hardest time picking one! I wanted so many of them but finally settled on this plain tan one-- I wanted something neutral enough to go with anything but it had to have a zipper on it.  I took my mom out earlier this month for an early Mother's Day lunch and decided that since we finally had a warm sunny day to go all out with skirt and shirt and sandals with my new straw bag.  Sorry the photos aren't the greatest; between the wind and lighting we really struggled to get some good ones! I originally had a different top picked out but switched it to this bright pink one; it just screams sunny weather to me.  My new skirt is from Amazon (here) So is my new purse (the sandals are quite old though I can't remember where I got them).
