Thanks for all the nice comments today!
I was starting to write this post when I noticed something rather remarkable. As you know, we went out of town this weekend, which means standard weekend activities like laundry, grocery shopping, and sitting on the couch had to be postponed. Thus, I am currently wearing what I like to call my Olympics shorts:
Except now it’s totally fine – even, dare I say, trendy – because the Olympics are, in case you live under a rock, going on RIGHT NOW and everyone is very excited. As am I. Some of those male swimmers are pretty hot.
So today I proudly wore my trendy blue Olympics shorts while walking Jack around my neighborhood. A couple people looked at me funny, but I’m sure they were just marveling at how patriotic I am.
Right?
Right.
Anyway. Aside from not having to do laundry and other annoying errands, another benefit of going to visit my parents is the food. Check out these vegetables:
And you already saw the peaches, which I had as part of my afternoon snack:
Along with some of this unbelievable tomato:
Seriously. Unbelievable.
Congrats on the engagement! That is so exciting! Those fruits/vegis look so fresh! I love the big tomato! mmm
Those olympic shorts are hotttt. I would totally wear them too if I had them, even if it’s a little (or..a lot) nerdy. Gotta get in the team USA spirit!
haha a beautiful tomato…and A RING! I’m not sure if you snuck that in on purpose…but knowing your clever-osity (that’s a word right?)…I’m guessing that was the intention…which is one more reason why I think Couch Cubicle is so fantastic and classy! Your awesome Arielle! Not that I think it’s bad to be excited and hooting and hollering about something that IS indeed EXCITING and amazing, but I think it’s so cute you take another route!
Have a great evening!
THE RING!!! New addition!! And yes, I’d do Ryan Lochte ANYDAY.
congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! beautiful ring!!!!
Ring! Can we see a picture of the ring? hahah
Great shorts and vegetables; and I see a ring!!
I am soooo jealous of that tomato!!!
I haven’t had a tomato like that ALL SUMMER!!!
yummyyyy… that tomato looks delish.
nice bling added in there too;)
Congradulations on your engagement!
Those veggies look so delicious. There are so many in season now I love it! YUM
beautiful ring! i don’t know which i’d like to stare at more, the tomato or the ring? i’m perplexed…i also am in complete agreement, Olympic male swimmers have good genes.
Nice rock! Do you find yourself looking at your hand a lot more than before?
purty ring
And *that* is why I love summer…. all that produce to go crazy with! Just all by itself, the taste just sings out. Enjoy! Can’t wait to read what you do with it.
And congrats again on the engagement!
CONGRATS on the engagement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so exciting
OMG . . . that tomato . . . I bet it would be AWESOME on a BLT.
clothes from 1994 are hot. I have a tshirt from 1996 that I proudly wear to the grocery store every now and then. I think people just think I’m a trend setter or something. Obviously.
Excuse me.
I come here hoping for a shot of the ring that I had to email Chris to learn the story of and all I see are some vegetables and a lousy side shot.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FULL ON PICTURE OF IT PLEASE.
If you want, you can even hold it over a plate of food…
Where’s the close up of the damn ring!? Stupid tomatoes, always in the way!!!!!!!
do we get to see an actual full on ring shot?
too cliche?
ok
Just for the record, you might have the greatest sense of humor….EVER! I am constantly cracking up at your posts. LOVE IT!
