Not a PhD! The idea of that is scary. Just a management masters degree. I work in PR so it’s to be able to get promoted. One day. Hopefully.

Yep. This is just the tip of the iceberg with him.

Thank you! Hope you don’t have too much longer to go!

Booo to your family too! And it’s not even about the gift. It’s about the acknowledgment that this was important. A lovely note would have been awesome.

Thank you! I appreciate that. I worked on it while working full time with two kids. It was HARD. I’m disappointed that others aren’t celebrating this with me. I bought myself new boots and am getting an afternoon of pampering after the holiday.

I’m sorry. It’s a terrible feeling to have that intense longing for something and to be around others who have what you want. Be kind to yourself.

Ah, my favorite Winchester!

Thank you! It was a long process and it feels great to be done, just kind of anti-climactic.

I finished grad school this week! And . . . No one has done anything. Actually one friend gave me a gift card for a massage. But that’s it. No card or flowers from my husband. No donuts at work.

In Michael Ian Black’s podcast he interviews Suzy Favor Hamilton who was an olympic runner and has bipolar. She worked as an escort in Vegas until she was outed. She talks about her appearance on Dr. Phil’s show and it’s pretty terrible. She said someone from the show even warned her in the green room “Most people…

Yep.

The one above in the body of the blog post looks like Hal Sparks. I’m going to call it now, Hal Sparks is 2017's sexiest man alive.

I’m not a huge fan of her style of writing - it’s a little too . . . gooey? - I don’t know the right word. But I did read Love Warrior on the recommendation of a friend and she’s not really a fundie. She’s very spiritual but she’s very open about the fact that she’s struggled with eating disorders and alcoholism. She…

I’ve been waiting to see if he’ll be named as Trump’s press secretary.
