I am addicted to pickled jalapeños. I prefer them to raw jalapeños any day. Jake is the opposite – he would rather have raw. Van’s blueberry waffles have become a staple in our freezer the past two weeks. They’re just so good.

Lu woke up from a little nap after her breakfast and looked so frazzled. I couldn’t stop laughing at her. She gets the best bedhead.

I headed to a workout class after doing a little bit of computer work. Here’s to hoping this isn’t the last day to drive with my windows down. It’s pretty chilly here this morning, but it was hot yesterday – it got up to 80 degrees.

The trees in our front yard and changing and they’re gorgeous. I could stare at them all day.

We discovered this flooring under the carpet in our future gym. It’ll work great for a gym floor until we finish the flooring in our house! Jake found out that the carpet in our house was laid in 1992…I think we are both pretty happy that we pulled it all up.

This is the backing from the wallpaper in our entry. Luckily, this and our living room peeled SUPER easily. I was very thankful about that! We have peeled the wallpaper in our gym, the bedrooms, the hallway and the entryway. All that is left is the dining room, kitchen, and laundry room. We are getting close! That industrial wallpaper steamer is a life saver and the best 50 bucks we’ve ever spent.

A quick lunch after working at the house – chili and Wheat Thins.

I spent some time on my computer, then hopped onto a meeting. I am so excited to be involved in the Faculty Mentoring Program at UALR. I cannot wait to learn from my mentor.

Dinner was the best frozen burrito I have ever had – I got it at Mama Jean’s and the brand is Burrito Kitchen. I just got the bean and cheese and holy cow. SO good. I cooked mine frozen in the AirFryer at 360 for 20 minutes. I will be buying more of these…I’m hooked. They’re so easy when you want something quick.

I let Rhea on the couch for a little bit last night and she laid like this the whole time.

I’m off to a workout class, then need to spend some time working on my computer. I wanted to get over to the house today, but I may not have time. We will see how things go!
I am finally running some trail tomorrow morning and I cannot wait!
Happy Friday, friends!
