I don’t usually get emotional over celebrity news but this did me in. What a horrendous thing to have to go through.

We each have a dog that we are financially responsible for specifically because Mr. CEFAD lost a dog in the big breakup before we got together and wanted to be very clear that his dog was HIS. DOG. So now I have MY. DOG. They could care less who they belong to since they alternately love and hate us equally, but it…

Samesies. It was the perfect way to back up all my images

We have a king sized bed with 3 standard pillows. He gets one, the middle one is the buffer zone, and I get one. This way we stay on our own damn sides and can actually sleep (THANK YOU MEMORY FOAM).

I got the Fire tablet too. Do I need it? No, but I cracked my phone screen so can replace my social media browsing at night with the Fire.

I’m the same way. Traveling is so much less stressful for me if I just have to waltz through the airport with a purse. The only downside is the wait at my home airport when I land but it is worth the extra ~15 minutes to not have to worry about it or have to gate check anyways.

Klonopin. Nothing can do anything to me.

The most recent southern wedding I was in had a totally reasonable 6 bridesmaids and I was surprised at how few of us there are.

I’m a quilter so I’m finishing up my Ron Swanson quilt from the Happy Zombie quilt-a-long that I swear I’ve been working on for 2 years, then quilting a couple of finished tops that have been taunting me since the summer. It will be great!

A burger place down the street from me asks “medical or voluntary?” or something along those lines whenever you ask for a gluten free bun, so they know if they need to take the extra time to try to reduce cross-contamination or if they can just throw the bun on the grill with everyone else’s.

I have long thick hair that takes forever to dry so I read my Kindle while I’m drying my hair in the morning.

I was having a stressful work week a few weeks ago so stopped what I was doing in the middle of a Friday and baked a pie (I was working from home). The rest of my day was SO much more productive. At least in my work it’s hard to see a project through to completion, so making something with a tangible end product was…

Part of the reason I’m taking a few days off to sew is because I was originally going to take a vacation just by myself and my husband was all “But I can be free that weekend!” so we are taking a weekend trip leaving me with the 3 days off I already requested. Win/win.

Find your “break up song” that’s super empowering for you and blast it when you’re feeling bad. Embarrassing fact: after my last break-up I listened to “Flying Solo” by Jason Derulo about 1,000,000,000 times.

I’m taking a few days off in a couple weeks and all I’m going t do is sew. I’m sew excited for it!

I did the same thing this year from a fashion perspective. Instead of buying cheap black boots because I wasn’t enamored of how they fit and knew they would fall apart in a year or two, I went all in on a nice pair of designer boots that are exactly what I’d been looking for.

I always read their relationship as like the two friends that grew up next door to each other and everyone just assumed they’d end up getting married and they just went along with that until they realized that wasn’t actually how they felt about each other.

I haven’t read the rest of the article, but $1400/month sadly isn’t wildly abnormal for quality daycare in big cities. Denver’s AVERAGE daycare costs are just under $1000/month.

She was cheating on him and left him so he was like, doubly crushed. The creepiest he ever got was asking to go out w/ me and my friends in the city one night when the kids were with their mom so we could help him meet women.

You can “compete” with friends and send each messages through the FitBit app that way. If she was logged into the FitBit app and had notifications turned on her husband would easily be able to see those messages.
