If you’re reading this you, like I, are probably not at A-Camp. If you’re at A-Camp, you should probably stop wasting your precious cell phone battery and go attend a workshop or take a hike or slip that cutie patootie your number and you know, live in the moment! BE THE MOMENT! BE THE MOUNTAIN! If you’re home like me, you should totally check out these hot, hot links and keep refreshing Insta to see if there’s any fresh #autostraddlecamp posts.
I’m living my best summer/camp aesthetic, even though I’m stuck at home. For example, I had an extra cucumber so I made cucumber-infused water yesterday. It’s super refreshing. It tastes like summer! I even got outside this weekend and logged some sunshine time and today I have the day off work for Memorial Day, so I’m going to barbeque ALL THE THINGS. I’ve got asparagus and zucchini and sliders and Italian sausage and hot dogs and romaine hearts for grilled caesar salad. Suffice it to say, I’m most likely eating better than everyone at camp, so I’ve got that going for me!
I hope you have the bestest Monday and get to eat something yummy today!
