Re: Talk about your day thread
Enjoyable weekend away at the beach house with MiL and our besties. Daughter came up for a night which was nice and we have 3 dogs running an absolute muck about us most of the day.
Walking the dog on the beach has been lovely, weather is gorgeous.
Been eating great, drinking too much and watching the footy. Stayed up late to watch the start of the NBA playoffs last night, plan on doing the same tonight if I can. But I'm a bit weary so we'll see.

Free boops today.

Haven't had one in a long while, never fun!
Anyway, now my wife and I hate each other and are just playing hot potato with our kid so we don't have to interact. It will all be better tomorrow though.
