Greek yogurt is amazing. When my stomach acted up for a week, my favorite dinner was Oikos yogurt and cereal. Sourdough bread and goat cheese really helped, too. It was heavy while I was eating it, but my stomach felt ten times better. That, and 150 mg of Zantac/day.

But we’re women! We gotta stick together!

And Roadtrippers.com. You can plan all of the cutesy ball-of-twine type stuff before you leave and avoid arguments.

My family traveled all the time when I was a baby. They literally drove across country with a van, a cat, a baby, and a small child. My sibling and I were each born in separate states and each of those was different from the state we grew up in. My mom has tons of pictures and journal entries about the whole process,…

That last sentence about taking a break between jobs is fantastic advice. I’ve gone straight from job to job a couple of times and it’s always been a jarring and stressful experience, where I felt like I had to get my footing the first several days. It’s better to take a few days off and start fresh.

Ooh, an email! Hey everyone, let’s spam it!

Not just northeners (well, I guess everything is North to Floridians); NC and VA have them, too. NC decided a few years ago to lump everything (taxes, inspection, license plate fees) together, so everything’s due at the same time. In order to be able to renew our license plate and pay them money, we have to have our…

There is a way around it. Open up Settings and change the default internet app to Chrome (or Firefox or whatever). Find a browser extension like Bing2Google that will open up any Bing searches with Google instead. So far, I haven’t had any problems with searching directly from the search bar.

His approach is more intentional, but he does talk about some of the benefits to the brain from play. If life to hear more about the subconscious aspect; that sounds fascinating.

I’m going to add play and be creative. I’m giving a presentation on this topic and did a ton of research on what certain activities do to the brain. Essentially, making time to be creative instills optimism and initiative. Play relaxes us and helps us solve problems. I based a lot of it on Dr. Stuart Brown’s TED Talk…

I probably would have totalled the car, too.

And it lingers. I used to work at a grocery store and this man passed our bakery counter. Not only did it stink up the counter for the rest of the day, but I could actually tell where he’d been around the store because of the stench.

Look for something without sodium laureth sulphate. It’s not toxic or anything, but its only function in soap is to add bubbles. It also tends to dry out the skin.

Me too! Only if I’m already in the right lane or on a one-lane road, but I feel it’s safer for everyone.

And now the Temmie song is in my head forever. Thanks for that.

I made boxed Mac & cheese the other day, but I also added hamburger fried in the skillet with onions and tomatoes. I stuck some Colby Jack on top of everything. Not exactly gourmet, but it was tasty. Next time, I need to add a little hot sauce.

The pitfall with that is landing a job you may not like or be fully qualified for. If you’re taking the job just to pay the bills and plan to move on, then it’s your life. But if you’re looking within your field, then interviewing really is a two-way street.

Ladies, pay attention to your purse. Few things are worse than showing up with a bedraggled bag that you forgot to clean out. Better yet, just avoid it altogether. Even if you find a bag that goes well with your outfit, all you really need are your portfolio and your car key. I left my purse at an interview once and…

Portillo’s in Chicago. And of course, you have to get the pickle and tomato.

“He ate the whole thing; didn’t even spit any of the bits out!”
