Goes along with the Reality TV Star thing.. any dude who was on The Bachelorette and has a abs is basically a male Instagram model now. ie Robby Hayes.
Lost my shitty job of 2.5 years last summer. Had to move my crap into a storage unit for 6 months to move back in with my parents several states away. After months of doing data entry work through a temp agency and being driven crazy by my parents, finally found a laterally shitty job in my field again. After saving up enough money to move by stuff out of my storage unit in the other state + security deposit/rent + credit card debt from unemployment + surgery for my dog + a VERY meager amount of savings, I’m finally moving back into my own place in July.
Unemployment left me pretty much back where I started and there was nothing fun about it. That whole “finding yourself” while unemployed thing is a load of gunk.
Whenever I go to Cook Out and just order like two things, it always costs more than a tray. Tray is the ultimate bang for the buck and it’s perfect. I know this post is about burgers, but I also love their BBQ sandwich.
I found that funny as well. I’d been listening to him with The Steeldrivers long before he blew up as Best “New” Artists at the CMA awards and did his duet with JT. He 100% deserves all the success and recognition he’s getting, but it was just funny to me that he’s been around so long, yet was considered “New.” If anyone hasn’t heard The Steeldrivers, they’re great, even the albums post-Stapleton.
How much weight does one have to lose to need surgery for the excess skin? I’m probably been like 30 lbs overweight, give or take, since I was like 15, but never considered the fact that i might need surgery for loose skin if I ever hunkered down to lose it for good. Crap.
I do a 10 day smoothie cleanse a few times a year. I recently planned to start it on a Monday, but on the Saturday before, I got my period…
So I purposefully waited until that s*** was done before I tried to go all in. No point in setting myself up to fail. Last time I tried to do it during my period, I ate 14 mini Reeses cups from the office candy jar in a fit of desperation.
I have bought coffee from plenty of local shops, and also from McDonalds, Dunkin, Starbucks, Sheetz, 7/11, and various truck stops.
I’ll happily discuss my favorite local coffee shops with someone, but if they’re also the kind of person who is going to judge me for buying coffee from a truck stop, then they’re probably not the kind of person I really want to be hanging out with.
Damn. My mom/her half of the family are all from TX. I only go every year or two, but I feel like I’ve done a bunch of stuff on that list.
Then again, not sure if the Pat Green show I attended really counts since it was in DC! Also saw William Clark Green there. Wish country radio was more like TX country!
I’ve moved a bunch in the past few years, so some of these are regional. My favorite takes in no particular order, because honestly it depends on how and what kind of drunk I am.
Sheetz – The appetizer platter is everything.
Cook Out – Basically the mecca of my fast food existence.
Bojangles – If only they were open later..
7-Eleven – Used to be the only place I could get a pizza at 3 AM.
Royal Farms – Potato wedges covered in cheese.
Waffle House – Only go when it’s dark outside.
Denny’s – Pancake Puppies put me in a sugar coma.
There’s not really a right or wrong way. A couple of years ago, my bf of 8 months drove up 1.5 hrs on a Friday to see me for the weekend. Spent Friday night together, went to dinner, did normal things… then Saturday before lunch, he was giving me the speech. He’d been planning it the entire time.
I was pissed that he “went through the motions” on Friday when he knew he’d be dumping me the next day. Then again, had he done it over text, I would have been equally pissed at that too. So, there really wasn’t a right way, and it sucked for all parties involved.
My thing is that I’ve never really looked at a kid and been like “I want one.” It’s like my desire to procreate is just kinda broken. If I was in a situation where I HAD to raise a kid, I think I’d be a decent mom and could rise to the occasion. I don’t hate kids, and it’s not that I don’t think I can do it; I just don’t want to.
Now, when I look at dogs, every protective “mom” instinct I could ever think of rushes to the surface. Clearly I just don’t like my own species very much.
Seasonal Reese’s are better than regular Reese’s. The ratio of chocolate to peanut butter is perfection in Reese’s eggs, Christmas trees, and pumpkins in comparison to regular ole Reese’s cups.
I was an idiot and filled out my paperwork incorrectly when I got my first job out of college. Nasty surprise when I got my taxes and I owed 2 grand. I was paying DC area rent on a very lean entry-level job and had no sort of savings account to pay up with.
Ended up having to do an auto-payment plan to the IRS for over a year… There’s nothing quite like the slow burn of watching the IRS draw directly out of your bank account every month.
As a girl who doesn’t get very excited about sports, I can attest to the appeal of hockey. I never got into watching it at home, but I will damn sure pay attention if I’m there.
I have a dog that is roughly the size and shape of a beagle (droopier ears and slightly larger), but her coloring is more bluetick coonhound. She was found living under a house in WV with a ton of other dogs, so she could have 5 different types of hound in her for all I know. Anyhow – sweetest dog in the world. I am forever sold on hound dogs.
I don’t make a ton, but my bf makes even less. When we first got together, I kept offering to split the check, but he would pick it up and look at me like I was nuts. He still reaches for the bill every time and it makes me sort of uncomfortable. He told me he’ll always pay unless he’s totally broke, and in that case he’ll ask, but that hasn’t really happened. When I pay, it’s because I grabbed the check and insisted, but he’s still like, “What did you do that you’re trying to make up for?” I usually pay when we go to a concert or something, because I’m usually the person who suggests it and I can just go order the tickets myself.
In all honesty, I would rather split everything 50/50. I never want him to see me as a burden, and him paying for me every time makes me feel like a mooch, even though I never asked him to.
My office candy jar is overflowing with the good stuff. It’s terrible. I have gone through days where I sustain on coffee and 15 mini Reeses cups.
That being said, “good me” has been fairly good at forgoing the Reeses as of late. I drink unsweetened herbal tea (chocolate mint or something that sounds comforting even if it doesn’t actually taste like the Peppermint Patty I so badly crave) and eat an apple with a spoonful of peanut butter very slowly. The tea “waters it down” for me better than plain water does for some reason, and you can still add it to your water intake!
I’ve got the best of both worlds. I’m a NC girl and I love my vinegar, but my mom’s family is from TX. We have brisket every Christmas and Thanksgiving instead of turkey.

“Looks like a bunch of girls in a living room crushing Mich Ultras. My invite must have gotten lost in the mail.”
They probably emailed you, but it ended up in your spam folder. Time to go back to texting?

I once made out to Rage Against the Machine. That was… interesting.
