Shaun and Bear are opening the pool. I guess it's about that time. Kira should be happy. She's been asking about it for weeks. 😂

I was sitting up talking to Kira and Shadow...

I was sitting up talking to Kira and Shadow and Toebean decided it was time to wrestle Shadow as he stood there eating his food. 😂 I don't usually see Tobi play; he doesn't with the other cats and he's cuddly with me and Shaun. But I've seen him come for Shadow a few times and it's pretty funny. I guess they're buddies. 😂😊

This boy and his kicking. I was in the living room when he started kicking the box. He tried to pretend nothing was going on until I went to my office chair, then he immediately started kicking again. 😂 He's easily fooled. It's not like I wasn't still looking directly at him. 👀😂

Pardon the mess. This is the room we were rearranging over the weekend and we are not done.

A couple of the few people...

A couple of the few people who have been in our house since we moved have commented some version of "It's very... neutral" or "How long have you been here?"... I guess in response to my lack of decoration.

It's totally fine; that's not offensive to me. It's kind of funny. 😂

But I will agree that downstairs is pretty neutral because that's where everyone should feel welcome, and it's also where most of the animals are. So not too much that I really care about is down here.

Shaun is more of the decorator of the family. His game room is swords and knives and red and black things and LOTR. Our bedroom has my loft bed and more of a nature vibe, I think. It has some of my decorations in there. And the actual loft room does, too.

But all in all, I prefer less clutter, fewer things to dust and clean, and less grabbing my attention. I find it easier to relax in a space like that.

It's funny because today we moved some stuff around. We took the shelves from the sunroom and brought them in to the "dining room" that I use as my downstairs office space. It's not done, but there are a few plants on the shelves and some driftwood and some rocks. We have a few small totes of rocks and I put the totes in the bottom shelf. I called it decoration. Shaun disagrees. 😂

But there is no good way to display that many rocks. I don't know why, as a family, we have so many rocks, but we do. Me and Shaun both collected rocks when we were kids, and still do. Shadow did/does it, too. Kira might be the only one of us who didn't move a box of rocks into this house. 😂  Actually, she did.  She brought rocks that she had painted.

I'll post a photo of the area once it's done. Right now I am getting beachy vibes, probably from the pale colors and driftwood and sunny area. I would like to try my hand at houseplants, but I hit a few spring sales for succulents already and I'm not trying to spend a bunch of money on plants I might accidentally kill. There is plenty of time to load up my indoor shelves.

Anyway. Goodnight, friends. Monday is almost here!

So the question earlier...

So the question earlier stemmed from the fact that I say "in the dash" instead of "in the glove box." Apparently, it is confusing to Shaun, so I'm gonna try to remember to say "in the glove box" next time. I just grew up hearing "in the dash" and thought that was pretty normal. But I like to be precise with my words, so I'll work on this.

Oddly, this isn't the first time we've run into this. But I'm glad I'm not the only one who understood what I meant. 😂 Thank you if you answered my question. ❤️

If I asked you to look in the dash of the car to get something, where specifically would you look?

Two of my cactus plants are really showing off today! 😊
