The Governor has still not signed “my” bill into law.  He signed Hanna’s Act, a bill that provides long term support for missing Tribal women, but LINC (SB 312), a first-day solution to file missing person’s reports and coordinate searches, lingers.  The rumor is that he doesn’t plan to sign it, just let it sit in a drawer til it becomes law on the 11th day.

Why?  Partisanship.

He signed the Democrat bills at a big ceremony last Friday, but he wants to see the Republican Senator who sponsored my bill replaced in the next election, so why sign it and give him any credit for his bill or for putting the money back into Hanna’s Act after House Republicans stripped it?

The partisanship from both sides on this should-be-non-partisan issue gives me rage hives.  The amount of fighting the sponsor had to do against both parties had me on edge all session.  There were bright spots, moments when you saw Ds and Rs working together, but they mostly happened behind the scenes, while the partisan bickering happened in public.

Beyond that, I start my campaign job this week.  Kyle is on me to start decorating the house even though there’s no plan for how it should look.  I have about 100 hours of yard work ahead of me.  Not to mention that I still don’t have wedding invitations or an engagement ring.  And I’m trying to get Thirtyish off the ground, work with Hitha on a podcast, and keep this blog going.

I need to sort out a to-do list that brings some balance to my life.  But that’s a challenge for tomorrow.  Today, let’s talk about The Weekly Edit.  That sounds more fun.

How good does this Avocado Hummus with Tomatillo Salsa look?  It just feels so bright and fresh.  We’re having some people over this weekend, so I’m planning to serve this and Greek Chicken Gyros instead of burgers.  I get so burnt out on cheeseburgers by the end of barbecue season that I need to start changing it up.

This time of year, I get a lot of questions about sunscreen.  Supergoop is my favorite brand.  I like that they have a wide-array of products, and that none of them feel heavy or greasy on my skin.

For body, their Superpower Sunscreen Mousse is my new favorite.  But their spray on sunscreen is a great choice too.  If you have dry skin, their sunscreen oil will keep you protected and hydrated.

For face, I have a couple of picks.  If I’m not wearing makeup, I dab on the Supergoop sunscreen oil.  But if I’m going to wear makeup, I switch brands to Suntegrity for their face sunscreen and primer.

Supergoop also makes a lot of specialty products.  Their Part Powder is perfect for keeping the part in your hair from getting sunburned.  They also sell makeup products like eyeshadow, face powder and (my favorite) setting mist.

Because I featured a lot of products, I should probably tell you that this is not a sponsored post.  I take disclosures seriously, but whenever I’m effusive about a product, people always ask if I just forgot to mark it.  I didn’t.  I just love Supergoop.

I needed a break from my steady diet of true crime podcasts.  Something lighthearted, interesting, less likely to give me nightmares.  Naturally, this led me to a podcast about obituaries.  Yes, obituaries.

You may remember Mo Rocca from his Daily Show gig.  His newest creation, Mobituaries, is a look at the obituaries of the famous and infamous.  Everything from sitcom characters killed off to JFK, or last week’s episode about a tree killed by rival football fans — because even foliage achieves cult status in the SEC.

The podcast is interesting but light, and you can listen to the episodes out of order in case you miss a week, and don’t want to go back.   My favorite episode thus far covered trailblazers who history forgot.  Give it a listen on your next commute.

The best shoes I bought last summer were these Universal Thread crossband sandals.  They’re relaxed, comfortable, and go with almost anything.  This season, I also picked up these Jenny slides in the metallic and the snakeskin.  Because if I can get three pairs of summer shoes that will hold up well all season for under-$100, you bet I’m going to do it.

Also, these styles come in wide widths for ladies who need the extra room.  I run 8.5 to 9, and I bought the 8.5s.  They fit well, but stretch a little with heavy wear.  Other than that, my sandals held up wonderfully year-to-year, I just want them to fit more snugly.
