Here's what decided to bloom today. I am so excited! I texted all my gardening friends. I've been waiting for two years for this to bloom. My poppy has two buds so hopefully tomorrow the other one will bloom. I love this colour so much and that gorgeous structure on the inside. It was swaying in the wind so I took a ton of photos just to get this one.

Those white flowers on the grass are from an azalea my brother-in-law gave me which was basically dead but I've been able to bring it back. We had lots of flowers so now I need to dig up some more lawn to plant it in the ground. It's been in a pot since last winter.
Wow! This is so beautiful! You waited a long time! We have a giant pink azalea bush with a small, growing, area of magenta. I wonder why it's started changing colors. You can kind of see the lighter pink in the back. I love when it blooms every spring and wish the flowers lasted longer. Did you know the entire azalea plant is extremely poisonous? That's the one downside.

Today was the Coach VIP event I was invited to and it was very fun. I wasn’t sure what to expect but my two lovely SAs were working so that was fun to catch up.

Pretty candy snacks. I ate a macaron. I love gummy candies but I had a bad incident with a crown and a chewy candy so no more for me.

@Syren here’s our Parker (with a few rivets) with my dark denim Dinky 24. I didn’t buy it. The colour is beautiful but the pocket on the back was not terribly functional as @Alexa5 mentioned to me and I can’t get past the signature print. Please excuse the shadows.

Hey, guess what?! Scratch cards!
View attachment 4446502
There’s a special pop-up store at the mall in my city so these cards must be leftovers from there. I got 25% off a full priced item! My SA had the floral print Charlie in black put on hold for me. But I thought it through and I couldn’t bring myself to pay the price (even with the discount) so I bought the cute pink kisslock change purse instead.

I also bought the medium cadet blue wallet with pink crystal rivets that matches my Charlie. The roses wristlet is a gift for a colleague. I was happy I didn’t buy a bag. I’ve been enjoying my Rogues and Speedies a lot and don’t need so many bags after all.

My gifts from the evening. I love my card case in saddle. I’m going to embellish it with one of those cute stud pins when the summer holidays start. Fun projects!
Beautiful picks, ML! The pink kisslock is so sweet! And what a great gift to get that card case!
 
Got my black Grace finally, i went a month ish without it and basically skipped a bag altogether. It's nice to have it back of coarse, i really do prefer it, i mean i checked a few options out there but nothing felt "right" or worth my time/$$.

So what all are you carrying ? I think i am gonna put my butterflies on her, they are black/navy and silver HW so should match well?
Good idea! I’m carrying my small Kipling crossbody in bag for work. When not at work I switch into my other bags.
 
The show “Justified” — fantastic :smile:.

I believe good Korean FC generally has a much lighter batter and maybe spiced slightly differently (although I can’t tell you how since I am not familiar with spices or cooking in general. It tastes really good and I promise you it is not a strange acquired taste.). Also, some Korean FC comes with a mild or spicy sauce too. I am very hooked — and it is not good for me, lol. I honestly don’t think I can go back to KFC ala the Colonel, lol.
I’ll have to try it sometime. Sounds naughty and delish! .
 
Well, it's been a rough month here. A water heater leak cost us $1400 out of pocket and a homeowners insurance claim, so that wasn't fun. Could have been far worse, but it still sucked. :smile:

And now I'm on crutches, unable to walk. :sad: Background - I have severe plantar fasciitis, which is an inflammation/thickening of the tendon that runs the long way through the bottom of your foot. It's very painful, not super treatable, and I've been dealing with severe PF in my left foot, and mild PF in my right foot, for years. I have extensive tearing and shredding of that tendon in the left foot.

Sunday night I was chasing our pug puppy around the back yard, and managed to slip and further injure that tendon on my bad foot pretty severely, causing even more tearing, and unbearable pain. Saw my podiatrist yesterday and he gave me the bad news that I may not be able to walk for two weeks or more.

Good news is that the super slick knee scooter below is being delivered today. I do not do well on crutches, having chronic back and shoulder issues. The scooter will hopefully enable me to go back to working at the office, as I work in a large building. I might want to invest in a helmet...I anticipate some wheeeeeeeee! moments in my near future. Hopefully my body decides to cooperate in healing at least back to the pain level I was at before the Sunday night injury.

C, I'm so sorry to hear about the rough time you're having! That doesn't sound like fun, but you have a great sense of humor planning on having fun @ work with your knee scooter! :) I hope you heal and can walk again soon!
 
Hi BBG! Yes, I understand. I’m feeling too busy myself. My brain is so full stuff is falling out.

I leave this thread open in Safari on my iPhone. Is that an option for you?
I try to not keep anything open when not using to save battery and data usage. I will have to mess with it at some point. Just a lot going on during/after work. Need to catch up. Lol
 
I know me too. I have mixed feelings on the ending. Jamie’s ending felt wrong when he was on the road to redemption for all the seasons. Dany’s ending felt unnatural. I don’t mind Jon’s ending because it was literally what he said he wanted (or didn’t want haha) but I felt like he should have battled Greyworm for his freedom or something. And I hated that Bron somehow ended up working his way up to a Lord! Hello he wanted to kill Tyrion and Jamie! The only ending I was satisfied with was Sansa.
The ending didn’t bother me. I do think it opens Arya up to show spinoff if they decide to go that route. I was quite surprised about Bron, which I guess that’s why it didn’t bother me. It wasn’t predictable.
