Last night I was talking about Fabio, as we all do a few times a week, and I asked my friend Skylar,

Eli: How old do you think Fabio is?

Skylar: Gosh. This feels like one of those "guess how many marbles are in the jar and win a prize" questions.

And I'm telling you, this felt like a very accurate statement. Because is Fabio 85 or 30? Or 50? Or did he live in another era entirely and have absolutely no overlap at all with my life?

HOW OLD IS FABIO?!

I really wish I knew how to Internet and find out. This is important.

And now, your Pictures & Distractions:

Why didn't anyone tell me I looked like a Methodist preacher at The Porch!?


Lagoon selfie with Hannah Rose!


My Christmas cactus is in bloom and apparently confused about what season it is. I blame it on the stores that already have Christmas decorations for sale. 


In my Snuggie and in front of the fire. 


I drilled holes and installed the hardware on my island cabinets without Matt's help! Matt WHO?! (Just kidding. Matt Pants.)
