Pic of the Week
A portrait of me from the kid I nanny. Complete with bags under my eyes, "Because you don't get enough sleep."
What's going on?
Not a lot, honestly. Since basically everything I do to earn money is related to either entertainment or education, things slow WAY down in the summer. In fact, in the next 10 days or so, I think I have 2 hours of work on the books. Luckily, we have some GORGEOUS weather coming up as well, so I'll be spending quite a bit of time outdoors - hiking, cycling, paddle boarding - it's gonna be great.
I have a new friend here in LA that does audiobook narration for a living, which is something I've been interested in looking into for a while, and she basically told me, "You'd be perfect for this, you should absolutely do it!" so I'm gonna spend some time getting together some samples and starting on that journey. Should be fun!
What I'm reading
What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera. Just a little adorable YA LGBT romance situation. Missed connections and young love. A little bit of language and tastefully dealt-with teenage sex to watch out for, but overall pretty wholesome.
What I'm watching
This is a post-apocalyptic, dystopian situation with some light fantasy elements. It's kind of gritty and quirky and thought-provoking and beautiful. Language warning here as well. Also, the premise of the show revolves around a world-wide viral pandemic, so if you're not ready for that, maybe steer clear.
What I'm cooking
Some good old caramel brownies. My aunt Lisa sent me a little care package with all of the ingredients. I'm not even sure she knows that these are my absolute favorite brownies. I used this recipe because I can't remember where I put the one my mom used to use. They taste the same, but I don't recall eggs being part of the recipe I grew up on, so this batch was a bit cakier than the brownies I'm used to. Still. SUPER rich and indulgent and delicious. Highly recommend giving them a try, but I'm pretty sure you shouldn't use eggs.
