1. I’ve been working on lots of new things for my Etsy store this week and I can’t wait to share them all with you guys! Hoping to have some new stuff listed this week or next. I feel like that’s whats taken up a majority of my time this week, so hopefully I’m able to get it all done.
  2. I’ve been dying for some puffy peanut butter cookies this week. Every once in a while I get this overwhelming urge to bake something other than just a plain chocolate chip cookie, and this is that time. Thinking it may have to happen this weekend. Don’t these puffy ones look just delicious?! (Spoiler alert: they WERE!! I made a few tweaks to this recipe, but they’re loosely based off these.)
  3. All of a sudden we sort of have loose weekend plans again and I can’t decide how I feel about it. Happy to have some things on the schedule, but also sad that our “do what you want” weekends are kind of coming to an end. You’d think after all this time of doing nothing we’d be happy to have some things to do!
  4. You guys, this week I RAN. Only like the equivalent of 3 blocks or so, but I did it. And for the first time in almost a year since my insane foot injury! For the backstory, Ry and I were actually out on a walk and in the distance I could see pink skies and we decided to literally make a run for it. The good news is that it didn’t really hurt! I was super careful about every step and constantly thinking about how my foot was going to land, but it didn’t hurt. The bad news is I’m more out of shape than I thought. SIGH.
  5. Speaking of, how are you guys feeling about gyms opening in New York? You probably all would guess that I don’t feel great about it… but wondering if anyone is feeling ready to hit up the gym again?! The concept of gyms has always been gross to me, but now in covid-times, I am just so grossed out at the thought of it!
  6. Saw this nut butter all over TikTok this week and I am so tempted to try it. We’ve been eating quite a bit of banana/ nut butter/ granola snacks over here lately, so maybe when we finish an open jar have I’ll have to try it out. The different flavors are so intriguing!!
  7. We went to a comedy show at our local bar this week and it was ~an experience~ If you guys didn’t know, one of my biggest fears is being called on for audience participation at a show. I hadn’t thought that this was going to be that type of event, until we got there and the only seat open was front and center. I had anxiety almost the entire time we were sitting there 😂 But we made it through! I faced my fears even though I wanted to up and leave the second they called on someone. And we got quite a few laughs out of the whole thing. So fun!
  8. TikTok comedic relief of the week
  9. Any tips for traveling during all of this?! We are headed to Maine next week for a long weekend and although I feel pretty good about it, my covid-crazy is kicking in just a little bit… Have you guys traveled anywhere? Done a road trip? Stayed in a hotel? Anything you would recommend packing with you that you ordinarily wouldn’t? Tell me everything.
  10. Life felt normal this weekend after dinner with some of our favorite people on Friday and a near debilitating hangover. A 2am night after months of quarantine will do that to ya! Welcoming the normalcy with open arms and hoping for plenty more where that came from.

hoping you all had a relaxing sunday!

with love, jak
