If I'm not careful this post is just gonna be me gushing over my new fella, which I'm SURE would get old real quick for my lovely readers, so bear with me. I'm gonna go for a quick run down of the weekend and minimal gush.

It's my fellas bday weekend, so to celebrate I took him to 903 Brewers in Sherman, tx. He had told me that was his favorite brewery, so OF COURSE we had to go. The have a wide range of beers and a LOT of interesting dessert stouts. Like, these beers taste like the dessert they are named after so trust me, you are good with just 1 of those after a meal. The ABV % ranged from a normal 5.5 to a staggering 16, which is basically hard liquor in beer form.

We had a lovely time and learned that Fridays are their trivia nights, so we must go back with other friends.

Saturday we went to his friends house for his bday party. I got to meet 4 of his friends (C&D, S&C) one small child (4 mo old), and 2 new dogs. We had margaritas, beers, and food from taco casa (they don't skimp on the CHEESE). His friends were lovely but I mostly got pix of the pup who decided I was his new friend, chew toy, and pillow.

Guys with a face like this have 100% chance to steal your girl.

My fella got a tres leches cake and sparklers. 42 is an important # you know!

its very loud when a new friend decides to chew on the chewie next to your EAR!!

It's been a really lovely weekend and I'm pretty much crazy about him. We get along great, his friends are lovely, we want the same things, we have similar goals, and soon he'll get to meet my people, too. There hasn't been one red flag so far... which is both strange and refreshing.

I had the WORST fruit fly eviction so far. I know they have been proliferating in my used coffee grounds I throw away, so on Friday I grabbed my trash can (with the lid down) took it outside, opened it up, and a CLOUD of them came put at me. They had cocoons in the lid, the smell was like wet dirt. I took the trash out of the can and walked it to the dumpster, came back and scrubbed the lid and inside of the trash can, got rid of all the cocoons, and brought it back inside. I then opened my coffee maker and ANOTHER cloud rose up. So I set a trap, left both the trash (with a new liner) and the coffee maker open, put the carafe and filter holder in the dishwasher, and went to the brewery.

the trap is working, I think I've seen 2 on Sunday. I now will be putting old coffee grinds in an empty coffee can, and drinking cold coffee for the next week, until ZERO fruit flies remain. I don't want to go thru the nasties AGAIN!!! Dang things always seem to follow me. 🙄

Job-wise things are a little nuts, since my boss has put in her notice. I'm not sure how things are going to change, but I know I'm gonna trust God cuz this is 100% out of my control. Allergies have been awful for the last week, but I think I'm finally on the mend. It's the start of summer so you know what that means... shark movie watching season is HERE! There are... SO... MANY bad shark movies out there. It's kinda fun to see just how bad they can be. 🦈🦈

So thats that. I think i made it with minimal gushing over my fella. Hope all is going well for all of you. Remember, red wine pairs well with shark movies 😉 have a good week and I'll check back in next week after our Houston trip!
