Missing a photo with Michael, but otherwise hits a lot of highlights! It's been a good year. A few rough times (just medically, at least), but overall a very positive year. The is just no comparison to the fun had with three awesome daughters and a wonderfully supportive husband! 💜💜💜💜💜 via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Q3xj6C

Sabrina is finally home. Her costume didn't make it in time, so she took her 6th grade Gaia costume and adapted. So here's our Greek Yogurt. 😂 via Instagram https://ift.tt/36ol2zO

I prefer to do all the things at once. So today I'm hoping to finish off passing a kidney stone. For all the stones I've made (a dozen or so?) this is my first time having a full one pass. So that's nice, at least! Should be headed home fairly soon. Now that the stone is low it's expected that I'm through the worst of it. #fingerscrossed #passthelemonwater via Instagram https://ift.tt/2NuHw9y

Yes, when I wear foundation the color match is better than this. No, I don't have a ginger beard shadow. Looks like the collar is dispersing the surgical iodine! 😂 via Instagram https://ift.tt/2MGQCAW

Luxurious lunch from The Next Step Up food truck. Not healthy today, but cozy and delicious. Mozzarella bites and tempura zucchini, deep fried grilled cheese with apple slices and chips, and hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream. Perfect for a day feeling rather crummy. via Instagram https://ift.tt/2NZ55Js

I found the perfect place to cut out half dozen shirts asap. The break room at Michael's work has a great ping pong table. I wish it could be lifted on blocks to reduce the bending, but the space is fabulous. Should have brought my machine down too and just made it a sweat shop for the day! Bonus points for the boxes of soda to use as pattern weights. #byosodalicious #drpepperpatternweights #prayformyback via Instagram http://bit.ly/2ZpxQSl

So good. Definitely will do this again! Braised short ribs in the instant pot. I seared the meat (with merlot salt and fresh ground pepper) using Sautee feature, poured in about 6 oz pineapple juice to deglaze, added 2 or 3 cups of black cherry juice, pressured on high for 35 minutes with 15 minutes release. Removed meat, added a nice drizzle of balsamic vinegar, thickened with a bit of cornstarch/water. Served over fresh mashed potatoes. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2Elp3IK

Totally random recommendation - have y'all seen ads for these "shampoo scrubbers"? I ordered one (off AliExpress for $2) and I love it. My hair is very heavy, my hands cramp up, I have a nail that's always split that catches and tears in my hair, I sometimes have longer than usual stretches between shampoos, leaving lots of dead skin behind on my scalp. Then you know what happens: dandruff and itchy scalp. Last time I used this and it was so comfortable and soothing on both hands and scalp that I massaged my scalp for much longer than usual. My scalp feels better than it has except times I've gone to the salon for a good hair wash. Even some of those are too hurried. This was amazing. I don't know how long it will last or anything, but I'm delighted by it. via Instagram http://bit.ly/2UIyNTn

My Gmail calendar on my phone is how I manage to miss only a couple significant events a week. I rely on it heavily. It really is only as useful as the content, however. Apparently on Thursday I need to "schedule stuff". Doctors appointment? For which doctor? Pediatrician? Vet? Dentist? Birthday party? I really have no idea. But at least it's on my calendar in bright red to make me feel anxious about what I've forgotten. It's my RememberAll™ of the week! via Instagram http://bit.ly/2TmFmKO
