Glitter Gel Pen

We all slept a little late on accident today, but luckily we got up and moving and made it to the girls’ schools on time and neither were late.

I got breakfast for Jeff and dropped him off at his office, and then proceeded to have myself a little mental health day off work 😉 I treated myself to breakfast at Bruegger’s Bagels to read and listen to the new Taylor Swift album.

Which was followed by a trip to The Frother’s Daughter to get The Latte of a Showgirl, to celebrate The Life of a Showgirl. They’ve done fun specials like this for her last few albums, and now I’ve been able to get the special drink every time. This one today though was super yummy!

And of course I had my matching showgirl nails, as well!

I kinda just did my own thing around the house and around town today, including watching all the Taylor video interviews on YouTube, visiting a few Little Free Libraries, eating lunch with Jeff, and listening to the album on repeat while driving back and forth across town. I loved finding this LFL for the first time, which was painted to look like “The Giving Tree,” which is one of my favorite books. I didn’t get any books from her today, but I did drop off a few here.

Eventually I went back around town to pick everyone back up again (we’re still in one car today), and then headed back home to cook dinner. I made “no-peek chicken & rice” from a recipe my friend Maggie sent me, and this was yummy. Addie told me it was delicious, and Emmie liked the chicken, but not the rice. Jeff and I thought it was good though!

We decided to go out for ice cream cones after dinner, and the pink sunset was beautiful and that was a fun little outing as a family.

Then both sweet girls were ready to get started on bedtime routines and snuggle down in bed.

Today was a fun day for me, just hanging out, having some free time, some solo time, listening to the new album, which I absolutely love. My top three songs in order are: 1 – Opalite, 2 – Fate of Ophelia, and 3 – Life of a Showgirl (and honorable mention is Wi$h Li$t because it’s so cute). It’s such a “glitter gel pen” album (IYKYK) and I literally instantly loved it upon my first listen right at midnight last night, and it’s only growing on me more and more with each subsequent listen. Fellow Swifties, what’s your fave song on the new album?!
