be in my eyes, be in my heart

Steven turned on the Cleveland/Blue Jays baseball game (American League Championship, I've since learned 😂) for the second time in as many nights and both times I've said, "oh, how are the cubs doing tonight?" baseball logos/colors are CLEARLY hard.

we will be eurotripping in THREE WEEKS (bring on the fish and chips, high tea, and champs, London and Paris). I'm nothing if not prepared (ha! could use a hotel rec for Paris) so I've been working on a few new things for my wardrobe: black leggings, black tops, and am debating another black pair of Sam Edelmans also. today I purchased a black wool hat and am also debating adidas superstars. can I pull off the last two? am I too old for superstars since I had them in 9th grade? this whole trend coming back around thing is really making me feel old.

we have a house full of refugees at the moment. my parents and Steven's, along with his nephew are sleeping here. in the past 48 hours, we had a 3 hour power outage, a minor kitchen fire in which I was NOT heroic and instead just started yelling and pointing (paper towels and candles are not a good mix, nor do they just go out on their own, but my father-in-law handled it quickly), and now we're almost out of booze. my parents got tired of sleeping on the air mattress but since they aren't getting back to Savannah anytime soon (we're thinking Monday), he went and bought a mattress. all that is to say our people are safe and sound, it appears their homes are safe and sound (albeit powerless and unable to get to), and we have packed in a LOT of quality time.
