We are going to Houston with 94% humidity. I am bringing all the tshirts and undies and he can kiss my ass at a capsule wardrobe.

a woman is sitting at a desk with the words " don 't tell me what to do " on her face Alt: Amy poehler on SNL is sitting at a desk shaking her head with the words " don 't tell me what to do "

J has poor time mgmt skills so I reminded him of our flight time tomorrow and that he has already purchased me a checked bag. He proceeded to send me a video on how to pack for any trip with 9 items of clothing. This capsule wardrobe included $95 wool tshirts.

I started left to right reading the essays so I had not gotten to Chelsea's Flowers essay yet when I left the first comment. WOW. Despite the warning I felt unprepared. Tears will not stop streaming down my face.

I personally think of Hey Jealousy as bittersweet memories of a failed relationship, not full on sadness. (Song on so many of my mixes!) I get context and why that line is singled out, but I'd also argue the best line is the next one "If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down."

Last time I was in I noticed they updated the signage to be 20 minutes and the signs are only within the exam rooms, not the waiting areas. Okay then.

Trying to avoid Target I thought okay fine I will just grab a single from the grocery store and pay a little more. Whatever. They wanted $7.49 for ONE stick. I pulled my travel deodorant out until I could get to Walgreens.

I find myself highly annoyed that costco continuously switches which brands of these toiletries are available at any given time. I love you costco, but I require consistency! (you know for the once a year I buy these items in bulk. cater to ME.)

We were filing in and my mom commented that she was surprised at the older ages of the audience. We were there 40 minutes before the start of the show.

Bridget was phenomenal as expected. Audio/sound mixing was not my favorite, which was disappointing as we were at my favorite theater. Wish there could have been closed captioning for my parents. Getting home at 11 pm is quite rough. I am old.

I've seen her twice over the years and did not hesitate to buy tickets. J is being a very good sport since he got guilted into attending.

Taking my parents to see Bridget Everett tonight. This should be something. (My dad will be good. Might need to get my mom a couple extra drinks)

Minneapolis/St Paul folks, hit me up with your favorite immigrant owned restaurants so I can gorge for a good cause the next couple nights.

J and I were arguing about paint colors and he sent me a link to Emily Henderson. That was a very abrupt end to the argument because I couldn't stop laughing. I stopped short of asking if he wanted me to make cafe curtains from some old quilts too.

Well that settles it. Pork chops it is tonight.

Blame housekeeping is getting REALLY OLD this morning. Three back-to-back situations where my people are being blamed for mishaps when all we did is follow protocol. It is highly annoying.

TLDR: Someone stuck a camera up a horse's nose and found out that horses vocalize and whistle *at the same time* to produce the distinctive sounds of a "neigh."

Nature is amazing.

Mr. Brightside by the Killers is now closer to the release of Olivia Newton-John’s Physical than it is to today.

No, you didn’t ask what I thought, but don’t worry. That won’t stop me from telling you.

don't worry!

Currently out of stock <sniffle>

I love crepes but J is not a fan so I rarely do it just for me. I am so sorry your person is not here and it is extra feelings on those memorable days.

All I'm saying is that women

I hate choosing best, but this one from Field Report has haunted me since the first moment I heard.

A line in the sand
don't matter if you don't care
A bird in the hand
Is worthless if you're too scared

I am now an evangelist for Altra, but that is simply because my already stumpy feet went extra wide and I love the toe room.

I believe my first thought would be immediate fear that I am not cool, but I think that is just conditioning from middle school with Adidas Phantoms or Doc Martins on everyone's feet.
That said if the person next to me nodded at them and asked me if this was a cult I would wonder the same.

Oh no!
Until it was banned, SSNs were our direct student ID numbers in WI. Like on our IDs, grade lists posted in the hallway with them, students wrote them on computer equipment. It was wild times.

In a world full of stressors, these stupid shoes are still taking up WTF headspace over here. I woke up thinking about them.

Midwest dads when we get a week of 40s following a cold snap.

Thank you for sharing!

We have one neighbor with 3 kids under 4. The diaper trash alone fills their can. I get that. We definitely fill ours once in a while with construction projects, etc, but week after week, year after year overflowing a trash can is SO WEIRD to me. I so want to ask them WHAT IS GOING ON?
