Happy Friday!

It’s been a long damn week. Here is a cat picture from Angus. 🙂

Since my plea to Target last year didn’t work, I have to take things into my own hands. Loki’s fav cat toy has always been his sad toast from Target. For some reason, they decided to drop the toast from the card, leaving only the less desirable egg and bacon. Loki’s not having it. Today I made him one. Idk guys, I think he might like it. #sadtoast #cattoy #catbusiness #catsofinstagram #Loki #notaildontcare

Are y’all ready for #HurricaneMichael 😬 I have seen people already fighting over ice & gas. Most of both are out every where. While I certainly don’t know everything, I do know somethings. 1. Don’t restrict yourself to tuna as your protein option or you will be miserable if we have 3 or more days without power. Remember shakes, bars and even protein cookies. This will help you not get too hangry. 2. PRECOOK. I know loads of people want to grill when your meat thaws out but if you have too much, someone is going to get sick. We don’t fill the freezer any more this time of year after the one hurricane that cost us several hundreds in a week without power. I bake breads and muffins. Aside from these being snack and breakfast options, you can use up any frozen bananas or cranberries you keep. I bake potatoes. These are easy to reheat on the grill and pan fried as well. 3. Make some smoothies! Frozen fruit, fresh fruit, Greek yogurt and milk. Boom. Freeze in ice cub trays and popsicle molds then transfer to mason jars or zip locks. This is a way to keep other stuff cold in the ice chest & the next morning, pull one out with breakfast. 4. Pick the fresh stuff in your garden. If you grow food all year like I do, don’t forget to harvest any ripe or almost ripe veggies. Pack away any herbs you have dried and cut as much fresh stuff as you can for hanging up. Having fresh rosemary to throw in those pan fried potatoes will make you feel a little less tired on day three. 😂 5. Fill up ziplocks with water to freeze! This is the easiest way to avoid the #icefightsof2018 Once it’s thawed, boom, more drinking water! If you have an ice maker, don’t forget to start bagging that up a few days in advance as well. Next, fill your water bottles and you are set. It’s miserable no matter what happens. Your garden will be flattened, your yard a mud pit and you may not be able to eat all your food before it goes bad. It’s okay. It’s happening to all of us here. Try to keep that in mind and check on friends and neighbors when the storm passes. We can do it! #ihearttally #prep #food

UPDATE: People have lost their damn minds out there so I am hoping you have all you need. Hang in there. #hurricanemichael Ok #Florida #Georgia #Alabama people. You know what to do. It’s charge your phones/fill up the gas tank/get some bottle water & can goods season! WOOOOOOOOO! Be careful and eat all that stuff in the freezer quick because you know what it’s like when the power goes down around here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The water was almost gone at Walmart & many a shelf was empty. I hope you keep a good stocked pantry because no one wants to live off Twinkies and Vienna Sausages for three days. 😂 #storm #weather #Michael #tropicalstorm #hurricane #hurricaneprep

Here’s the low down on Venom: BAD: camera angles, editing, abrupt changes Rarely do I criticize movies. I try to find something good because I know how hard it is to just put words on paper. There was a lot to like in Venom. Unfortunately, several things could have been better just based on camera angles and editing. I make an effort to suspend belief when I start a movie but some of these issues actually took me right out of it. If you find yourself getting a headache, don’t be surprised. GOOD: fun, action from the very beginning, Tom Hardy just Tom Hardy’s the shit out of it I enjoyed the movie for the most part. I wish Sony would just hand all the Marvel properties back so they could all be done at the level they deserve. Tom Hardy deserves the credit for making this one worth seeing. Did you see it? What did you think? # #Venom #goseeit #tomhardy #movieday #movie #amctheaters

This week we were fortunate enough to be invited to a #Publix cooking class with #WWP This one was on all things pasta (my fav) and apparently @oldcrowbone is an expert, who knew? Too much deliciousness! #wwp #publix #pastaclass #cooking #pasta #delicious #nomnom #selfcare #learnsomething

One of the biggest things you can do to help yourself be more productive in the long run is to develop a system. While there are a number of digital options that can help, (I LOVE the Wunderlist app!) for me, nothing beats having a calendar to write things down. Remember that the first items should be scheduling are the times for YOU to make sure you are recharged for the week ahead. Next up, daily to dos and appointments. I find if I write it down, I am better at staying organized and productive. When you are trying to move forward, nothing is better than @daniellelaporte Not only is she amazingly inspirational, she’s incredibly generous with freebies for followers. Getting your shit together doesn’t have to be expensive! @iyanlavanzant daily meditations are short, positive and help me focus my meditation for the day. You can do this, just find what works for you! Tell me what you are working on this month. What kind of tools help you stay on track? #organization #planner #calendar #scheduling #meditation #getyourshittogether #books #fixmylife #selfimprovement #selflove #changethevibration #newstuffcoming #bestlifestuff
