Oh god I came here to write that, as a big-boobed woman, sweater vests look awful on me!

But yeah…

Put it on repeat!  Stay strong!

Your upcoming weekend sounds great.  It’s really important to hug someone.  And eat scones.  I am impressed about the ravioli score--I’m still scared to shop inside a grocery store and I’ve heard TJ can be kind of nuts.  Was it crowded?

Oh man I was just looking at the EASIEST chickpea pasta recipe. Totally gonna make that tonight—it’s from the article about the 5 things to cook this week.  Says you have to make it while drinking a Negroni, so, hey, I’m just following the instructions :)

Jesus Christ the coverage around here is really slipping

HAHAHA so true!!!

He also has, hmm, how shall I say it...a fiancée...or at least he did a few months ago!

The first few times

I do appreciate that she mixes it up.

I’ve eaten at his restaurant and it lives up to the hype. Incidentally, they are, hmm, how shall I say it........mob-adjacent....

I know it’s too late at night to take a walk, but it helps me to move my body.  And do something mindless yet productive:  refold pants, a crossword puzzle, crochet.  Keep hands busy and mind distracted.  

Wow, that’s great that you found such a close match on Ancestry! I was adopted and went on both Ancestry and 23andme and I’ve never found anyone closer than very very distant cousins. I have to think that if Laura S. went through all the trouble and expense of going on Ancestry in the first place, that she’ll circle…

His own bullshit too!
