Bryn was home this past weekend for a couple reasons. Mainly because she was heading to Florida to spend the week with her dad. But she was able to attend a wedding shower for a longtime friend with me before she left.
Coincidentally, it's also the one-year anniversary of lockdown and the craziness COVID has brought into all of our lives.
She doesn't come home that often because she has school, a job, sorority life and well... a life. And while I miss her terribly, we stay in close touch.
But honestly, I'm not above bribing her with food & shopping, so I've been known to drive up for the day just to see her for a couple hours.
When she does come home though, it's like nothing has changed.
Bryn: Mom! (me sitting on the floor of my bedroom looking for something to wear to my class) You have to taste this smoothie I just made. I almost threw up when I tried it.
Me: Uhhh... no. Thanks anyway.
Bryn: No. Just try it! You have to try it.
Me: Why do I want to try something that is going to make me throw up? And what's in it anyway?
Bryn: That greens shake stuff, a banana, that frozen acai stuff...
Me: Wait... wait. Why did you mix chocolate stuff with the acai stuff?
Bryn: I don't know? I didn't know it was chocolate? Please. Just try it!
Me: Ok... (takes a drink).... Well, I kinda taste something not great, but I'm not gagging.
Bryn: (takes one more drink in solidarity) and then literally dry-heaves over my bed
Me: If you puke on my bed, I'm gonna be mad. Get out of here! Go in the bathroom!! Also... are you sure you're not allergic to something you put in the smoothie?!!
Bryn: No, I'm not allergic (leaves the room continuing to gag)
And this, folks, pretty much sums up 2 months of lockdown last year. It's how we roll. But we definitely keep each other laughing & entertained.
She's my favorite person in the whole wide world.
And as much as I'm sure we'd both agree that neither one of us would like to repeat last year's lockdown... if I had to do it all over again... she'd be right there beside me. Doing a lot of walking outside to survive it all, I'm sure, much to her dismay.
A little vitamin D never hurts, right?
In totally unrelated news... if you're looking for ways to do more than just survive in these crazy times... and THRIVE instead... you could always hang with me at Bloom! We have a 7 classes for $77 special right now.
Here's a tiny snippet of my strength class if you want to join me sometime! Low weights & high repetitions... tone up, create lean muscle, and well... muscle burns calories while at rest too, so it's a win-win!
Although... have we met? My first & true love is dance... so you could always join me for that too! In fact, I'm doing it tonight at 5:30.
Find us on MINDBODY & secure your spot because class sizes are still limited.
{offer is good thru Sunday, March 21st}
Your first class is FREE!
XOXO
