Don’t forget that your two new best friends are loudly chewing their Cinnabons and McGriddles with their goddamn mouths open and you can’t even drown it out with your noise cancelling headphones.
Crying in the office right now. When we had to put our last dog down that’d we’d had since I was 12, my parents and I all took the whole day off from work and spent the rest of the day at the beach crying and trying to drown our sorrows in beer and cheese fries. The current family dog is also amazing and even though it’s years away, I’m already dreading that day.
The crock pot has a time and a place, but the Instant Pot is clutch. So many recipes can be made in 30 minutes start to finish in that thing. It’s also helped with meal prep since I can have that going while I cook other stuff. Also makes perfect brown rice.
Flew Royal Dutch Airlines to Europe this summer. Best experience flying so far, even in basic economy. The dream though is to fly first class on Emirates one day.
My experience with United is that “very nice” is a bit of an exaggeration. It’s marginally better than their domestic flights, but the bar is so low there that even a mildly better experience seems great.
Girl is just a product of her environment. Also, shout out to Girl for taking one for the team and letting Todd go golfing instead of dealing with her mom. That’s actually a quality fiancee move.
Typical Sunday brunch- bacon from an actual butcher, french toast made with bread from a bakery topped with local fruit from the farmer’s market. More expensive than Oscar Meyer and Wonderbread, but way cheaper than going out and I still get to feel a little fancy. Financial responsibility doesn’t have to suck.
Spent my 27th birthday traveling solo in Portugal. It was awesome. I spent the day trying to get myself to like port, had some wine and a cheese board at a nice riverside bar, and then met up with some new traveling friends for dinner. None of them knew it was my birthday and I had a great time.
Direct deposit to an online savings account where it takes a few days to get that money. Seriously. Save as much as you can so that when you get fired from your first big kid job you can eat your way across Italy and then move to a new city and start a new life.
Unless you manage to connect to them through some outside means, your significant other’s friends are just that- someone else’s friends. If you wouldn’t be invited to their parties without your SO, you’re under no obligation to go to one when your girlfriend isn’t there.
Maybe I’m wrong but I always thought registering would be fun. You get to pick out stuff and play with that scanner. Plus you can register for games and chick-fil-a gift cards if you want to. Though I’m a big fan of just writing a check and they can use it for whatever the hell they want.
Ugh this one gets me more than the nice thing. A girl I know from college says this all the time in the most condescending way imaginable. It’s like she totally forgot she was constantly on the prowl and would cut a bitch for the attention of any guy over 6 feet tall.
I literally once dumped a guy I was seeing because he said the reason he liked me was because I was so nice. There were other reasons, but that was the final straw. It just showed me that he didn’t actually know me at all and just wanted to be with someone, anyone. Because none of my close friends would put “nice” at the top of the list of words that describe me.
Seriously. No dishes. No other people. No screaming breakup fights right outside your bedroom door. No hard boiled eggs left on the stove for days. No #MAGA cookie cake on the counter. No pants ever.
I’m at my desk internally screaming at you to STFU. I’m counting and hoarding every one of my PTO hours, since we only get Christmas Day and New Years’ Day off and I need to use half my annual time to make going home for Christmas worth the cost. Seriously, just take random days off. Go grocery shopping in the middle of the week. Sleep in on a Wednesday. Take a weekday cooking class with all the retirees and stay at home moms.

Numbers and garbage.

Todd is not worth sacrificing Sperry. He’s had plenty of chances.
If girl really wanted to “exercise her mind” she could always get a job. Or even just read a book.
It was down all weekend and is still down. This is the universe saying I can order out for lunch.

Agreed but it wasn’t to share so I didn’t even get to reap the benefits.
