I’ll tell you how life works. I got home from work yesterday with a half a pizza leftover from lunch. I scarfed one slice down as soon as I got home, because, ya know...why not? And then I ran outside to catchup with the folks under the reflection oak tree.
My parents have created this lovely reflection area under the oak tree in the back corner of the yard. There’s a swing and lots of chairs and even a fire pit. My dad referred to it as the, “reflection oak tree” tonight, and I can’t help but remember all the conversations that have been had and look forward to having under that oak tree.
Getting back to the story, the mosquitos were coming out, as usual, so I decided to head inside. I may have even had a little bit of a skip in my step because I knew there was pizza waiting for me!
You have to know that pizza is in my top two favorites.
I hopped up the stairs and into the kitchen, and I opened the box, and let me tell you how life works. Life works like this: (these are the things that actually happen in my life, and it’s too crazy to not share with everyone) I opened the box, and a COCKROACH crawled from on top of the pizza and ran behind my stove. That’s how life works.
Needless to say, I didn’t have pizza last night, and I’m still somewhat sad about it. It was from Pizza Hut, handtossed, a mixture of full meat and a few slices of supreme, perfection on sauce and cheese...I would have eaten it all, out of pure gluttony. #constantreminders
Enjoy these updated photos of my rock garden. Not quite complete, but getting there. Because who doesn’t love a rock garden, and less grass to mow.
