Sober ping pong?

Well, if I weren't trying out a little break from drinking waaaaaay too much, I would be having a bbq and making ribs and watermelon salad and 7 layer dip and strawberry shortcake. Those are the things on my mind lately. But obviously you can't eat without drinking, so that won't be happening just now. It does sound like a lovely 4th of July menu though, no?
Last night I played ping pong at a bar and realized I freakin love ping pong and have the perfect spot for my very own table and may have convinced someone they should get me one. Y'all cross your fingers for me, k? In the event that doesn't work out, there's a super cool bar downtown at 7th and Mateo called Tony's and they have a ping pong table in their little courtyard. The lighting seems almost designed to make you not be able to see the ball though. And something else I learned is you shouldn't play ping pong in heels. Not because it's hard, cause it's not, but because you feel like such a stupid ass bending over to pick up those rascally balls that want to skitter away from you.

Stuff and stuff

I'm so excited to cook and eat summer things. Caprese with pesto, strawberry shortcake, strawberry rhubarb pie, watermelon salad, guacamole, micheladas...
I planted tomatoes and jalapenos yesterday. I'm so excited to grow food. I hope the bugs don't piss me off. I'm sure they will, they always do.
I also painted my dining room yesterday (and went to Costco, I know, very productive day) and I'm definitely not too sure about it. I'll have to post pictures and get a vote. I think maybe I like the dining room but will now have to re-repaint the kitchen. Then I'm sure the living room will need to be painted too and I'm already sick of the bathroom. Oh god. The wall is still down.

Aaaaand cowboys

Salty snack

Baked Nacho Cheese Doritos are easily as good as the real thing without the grease! No greasy fingers. Cheesy fingers, yes, but DRY cheesy fingers. It's a whole new world. They are only 90 calories a bag and they may make your tongue mildly numb and your head slightly ache, but I think regular Doritos do that, too. Worth it.
