i feel like i’m trying to cover way too much ground with this lately post. there’s just too much to share (that i haven’t shared) over the last month before our heads were out of the clouds so, i’m throwing it all into this here post. bear with me.
today it’s pouring rain and has been since the moment i woke up. which is actually kind of nice–keeps us all inside and cozy (lindsey’s making us tea right now!). i’m going to read some stories to parker as soon as i’m done here and under a big blanket too. i took william, lindsey, and parker to a movie today (his first!). planes 2. it was pretty cute and not too scary for the timid guy he is. william and lindsey liked it too and were excited to go which is a double (triple?) bonus. we shared a bucket of popcorn. i cannot go to the theatre and not get popcorn. literally. a place where i actually mean literally when i say it.
i spoke of today and being cozy and it was until our friends’ ryan and caroline challenged us in the ALS ice bucket thing (i am pretty sure it happened because of this tweet yesterday–even though ryan and caroline aren’t on twitter. this is suspect.). never one to turn down a challenge (jk, i’m not that person at all), steve and i did it while william taped. raining and 60 already, it was ideal to throw a bucket of ice water over your head. being pregnant should automatically disqualify you from such things. i kid. it was fun. have you done it?
we have been going for bike rides almost daily. while i was in dallas, steve rode my bike a few times and was like “this bike is crap. we need a new bike and a new seat for parker.” you know why? because it’s a cruiser and yes, it is old (i bought it with my own money in 8th grade. i’m almost 30. so, the rusty gal is old. it was one of my proudest moments aside from the doc martens i bought myself in 6th grade.) and doesn’t have gears so it’s especially hard to bike up any inclines with parker on the back. but yet! i’ve been doing it a lot this summer and while pregnant so steve’s a fool and i am clearly the tougher of the two of us. so with that said, he went out and got one of these (i’ve been wanting one since our vail bike ride and scouring craigslist for them) and i must say, i do love it. it’s so, so fun and i envision packing it with picnic stuff and groceries and the list goes on. i haven’t replaced my bike yet (he just replaced his of 24 years… we like our bikes vintage) so one of these days, i might retire the ‘ol cruiser.
what else? oh, i started a facebook page for the blog. was that necessary? i don’t know. i’ve always thought NO and that it’s JUST ONE MORE THING but i went and did it. i heard a lot of people say they prefer it to twitter. do you? i’ll probably share things there from time to time that don’t make it here, so maybe it’s a nice little outlet (cause i reaaaaaaally need another one). i don’t know. we’ll see. but if you’d be so kind as to like me there so that my self-esteem doesn’t plummet, i’d be grateful.
and that’s all for now.
I started a FB page too for my blog… just two days ago! I've been against it for a while but, caved… some people are Facebookers & not Instagram-ers or Tweeters! Love that y'all have been taking daily bike rides!!
your'e right! and so i did it.
oh the bike rides have been amazing.
Great photos. Lux has a total Veronica Mars vibe in that pic.
i can totally see that!
"Liked" your Facebook page. I think it makes reading easier when I see a new post pop up in my feed 🙂
that's what some people say. i think some are strictly twitter people or instagram or… FACEBOOK. thus, there you'll find me now.
80th like! I have always followed your blog and now it feels more "official" since liking it on facebook, so here I am, a long time reader and fan 🙂
thanks ana! self esteem not plummeting!
how did you guys like otto pizza? I like it but think Nick's heated up the next is out of this world
i love it — i thiiiiink the white bean/butternut squash one might be my favorite. but tell me more about this other one. it's actually called "nicks heated up the next?" am i confused? i love me some good pizza.
major typo-sorry. down the street from the otto pizza in our neighborhood is Nick's pizza. it's good but I prefer the leftovers re-heated the next day:) although, Tripoli's holds a special place in my heart, too.
yay for a fb page!!! I mean I read all your posts and follow on ig but I check fb way more than one person should ever (no twitter here)!! and all of those pics up there are just so, so good….love your sweet family!!!
Yea for facebook 🙂 Just went and "liked" your page to follow along that way! 🙂

hi bridget! your writing is really enjoyable to read. I feel like since I follow you on multiple platforms and I've stalked your blog for a couple months….I really ought to say hi. hi! I'm ashley. keep up the great work. 🙂
mmmmm we love us some flatbread pizza! Oh and don't retire the old cruiser!! Let it ride. I've always regretted getting rid of my vintage 3 speed. I was talked into it by my husband, who deemed it unsafe and too slow. Yes it was slow but I always enjoyed the ride!
