Life Wright Now | July 2020

We are still walking through the unknown fog of house hunting, unsure what neighborhood or home we'll find ourselves in on the other side of all this. There's been a lot of tours, conversations, and decisions in the last four months, complete with five offers and five letdowns. It's become a little wearisome but we're staying positive and still hoping to secure an offer soon!

WATCHING | I'm on my way to finishing the final season of The Office. I decided to pick up at season 4 this spring, push past the awkward seasons after Michael Scott leaves, and finally see the entire series and know how things end. The one-liners, ridiculous shenanigans, and random situations continue! 

EATING | I love re-making Blue Apron meals and adding them to my repertoire. These tahini-balsamic chicken bowls are so yummy and fairly quick to throw together. I swapped out barley for Trader Joe's Israeli couscous and skipped the fennel altogether. The easy-to-make dressing and ripe pears are definitely the showstoppers.

On another note, I recently embraced free grocery pick up from our local QFC. It's something I wanted to try given COVID and the allure of avoiding public spaces...but even more than that, I saw it as a huge time-saver and resource to use once we have two more babies to care for. So far, pick-up has been easy, wonderful, and such a convenience. Color me converted!

READING | I recently blazed through The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. The classic book cover has always stuck with me and I've been curious about the plot, hearing it referred to as a darker Narnia series. It was a pretty good fantasy adventure read and I plan to complete the next two books to see how the story ends.

LISTENING | When cleaning out our car, I uncovered a number of my adolescent mix CD's, everything from Relient K to Never Shout Never to Regina Spektor. The current song on reapt is "Angel" by Jack Johnson :)
