We saw Nope over the weekend. I enjoyed it but didn’t think it was his greatest of all time. There were some scary moments, some good jump scares, some unease underlying a lot of it. I left a little... let down. Maybe I was looking for a more linear plot - so many cut scenes that felt a bit like vignettes. The Gordy…

We were in Boston last week for a work thing and I was determined to get a lobster roll before I left. The ones in restaurants were $40. $40!!! Eventually I got drunk at the Sam Adams brewery and at our hotel on the last night, I ordered one from some place that sold it for $30. I believe I had the mayo type on the…

I stumbled across a TikTok yesterday of Matthew Morrison acknowledging the allegations. He basically said he wrote one simple thing to some dancer and feels like his family is being vilified, etc., etc. At first I thought it was a deepfake, I was so confused about him recording some video about it for TikTok of all…

Wow. I knew my diagnosed ‘unexplained’ infertility had to be wrong. In our pursuit to help up that birth rate, turns out it was p0rn’s fault all along. /s

I’d be curious about the Diva Cup or something like it but honestly... I can not ever, ever fathom washing that thing in a public restroom. Like at work... or out to eat or wherever. It makes no sense to me. Unless you have a private restroom all the time, with a private sink.... how does it work?

Jesus, I can’t even read this article. My husband and I are about to start IUI in June and this is freaking me the hell out.

Glad to hear I’m doing my part to help the environment by becoming recently enthused by boxed wine. We did opened some Black Box Pinot Noir a few weeks ago, and as of maybe a few days ago when it get a bit more bitter... we decided to toss it. But it was GOOD. I love the idea of wine staying fresher for longer. I…

We went to see this last night. I was hoping for a reprieve from Mother’s Day (as someone battling infertility currently) and I was actually extremely moved by Wanda’s longing for her children. Wanda, in general, was the highlight of this movie. I do love Dr. Strange - the first movie was awesome. But I felt something…

My boss dropped an F bomb on my first day. And then she continued to do so during other conversations / rants. It was weird but I’m used to it now.

A straight-up oatmeal cookie can be absolutely delightful. Raisin need to stay far, far away though. Sorry.

Every time I see these photos, I think he’s auditioning for American Idol. Something about the background.

I’ve got a work conference coming up to Boston and I definitely plan on masking up on the flight. We’ve got KN95s and my husband is tagging along on the trip. For me, I think public transportation (be that flights, ride shares, light rails, etc) are going to remain masked for the forseeable future. 

Just hearing the word Abercrombie makes me have really depressing flashbacks to middle and high school. I remember my best friend at the time alwayssss wanting to shop at A&F Kids when we were in middle school. I was already too big for those clothes, and normal A&F was out of my price range, size range,…

I did not go to my 10 year reunion. I don’t really plan to go to the 20th if we have one. The kids from high school that I remain friends with are few - but I keep up with them enough to not need a reunion at our old hometown to talk to them if I want. The good friends from high school that I thought would remain good…

How weirdly timely. I’m going to a Crumbl for the first time on Saturday morning to pick up some treats for my nieces. I also want to try one myself. I didn’t know how big they were; they don’t even look that big on their website. But good to know!

I got off HBC last year in March (2021) because my partner and I decided we wanted to try to have a baby. Since getting off that pill, my sex drive returned a bit more. I’m on anti-depressants, which certainly weren’t helping. I think that was the only positive - for me - of being OFF though. My hormonal acne has come…

My husband is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts - though not almonds or hazelnuts. He avoids them all the same. He’s also developed an allergy to shellfish in adulthood - so no shrimp, lobster, etc. Mussels and clams are OK. It’s hard navigating but in the decade we’ve been together, not one reaction from a known…

We have an authentic Mexican panaderia by us and have started trying a few things from them. Everything has been amazing. A lot of the time, we don’t know what we’re eating but it’s all been so tasty. The other day I had some kind of cinnamon sugar donut type thing which was excellent. We have tried concha and really…

All I want is for my office to get a toaster so I can just make freaking toast at work, or toast a bagel, or whatever else. They say it’s a fire hazard. FOOLS.

Been back in the office twice a week since August of 2021. They have no free food for us. There is coffee, but it sucks. I’ve had to pack breakfast and lunch again. We have no toaster so can’t even bring frozen waffles or something. It’s been a bit difficult. I really loathe being back in the office because the day is…
