In a fit of brunch optimism, my friends and I booked a girls weekend in August to see Alanis Morrissette. Here’s hoping these vaccines work.

You’re paying for coaches and gym time. The competitions are basically a monopoly that can charge whatever they want. It’s subjective judging, so it’s loaded with bias. These kids train as athletes, but the competitions aren’t much better than the teen pageant world (jaded former cheer mom). The travel is a lot, too,…

My daughter grew up in competitive cheer. It wasn’t the other cheerleaders that made her stop. It was the non-stop criticism and scrutiny from the cheer moms and dads, which would eventually get in the middle of her friendships. She was very talented and loves the athletic side, so she went into power tumbling and…

I hope that you and yours are able to get vaccinated quickly, as well, but because each state is different it’s unfair to compare individual experiences. I had a bit of a crisis of conscience when the vaccine was made available to me. I’m a fairly healthy 42 yo, but here I was able to get it before my parents,…

FDIC only insures up to $250,000. She doesn’t even care enough to spread it around to multiple accounts and lose that $100,000. 

I lost my long-term boyfriend in January to covid complications. It’s hard for me to watch shows where people fall in love or someone dies,  but I can watch a true crime show and tune out. It seems more abstract to my life than following a plot where someone dies of natural causes.

And Bowen Yang doing his best So You Think You Can Dance lyrical performance because that’s exactly what I want to do when I hear that bridge.

My problem with the generalized shaming is that the underside of that is that the person who catches covid probably deserved it. I love my boyfriend deeply. We finally officially moved in when covid hit. We stayed home and avoided everyone for 3 months. Then summer hit, and the restaurants and bars reopened, and we…

Was going to write a long response about how this has been a well known fact in Arkansas for years, which is why other Arkansas republicans started declaring their candidacy over a year ago, and more about the inside workings of Arkansas politics. But then I read the comments, so fuck it, I can just burn with the rest…

I’ve had the same thing the last few days when I hear “the president has,” I think “oh god, what did he do now?” and then remember it’s ok, because it’s Biden.

On the Basis of Sex, where I fell in love with him as Marty. He has now tainted the RBG movie.

She needs to put a call into Erika Jayne to see how to work it so she gets all of the money when the creditors and lawsuits come rolling in.

My co-workers are 10 and 20 years younger than me. They asked if I wanted to go with them on Halloween to get $15 tattoos, knowing that I would say absolutely not and wish them well. On Monday, the youngest of the group showed me the outline of a ghost that he got on his ankle. I’ve never felt such a generational…

It is definitely not a happier album. Just listen to Happiness. I did 3 times in a row, which is not advised when you are having relationship difficulties, and you don’t really want to break up, even though all signs point to you should probably break up, but you still love each other and aren’t ready. 

This only works if the person is not an egotistical narcissist and able to accept that they don’t have to make all of the money, and that someone else can do it as well or better. Unfortunately, being humble is not common with attorneys, especially older ones. I’ll make a broad stroke generalization and say that for…

Our state Supreme Court doesn’t have mandatory age limits, but they stop paying you if you serve after a certain age (71 maybe? or close), so there’s heavy pressure to serve out your term and not run again.

My boss turned 79 this weekend. She still competes with the other 3 attorneys in the office for business. I’m the oldest at 42, and the other 2 are in the their early 30s. We’re struggling to keep our head above water while she owns 3 houses. She’s also starting to suffer from mental and physical decline but she has…

I’m going to guess that they clocked in right on time, not a minute more and left exactly on time. They also took their full lunch breaks and twice daily smoke breaks. This doesn’t also account for the times that they had to slooooowly walk back and forth to the coffee pot. They also get at least 5 weeks a year in…
