I now live in a tiny town where fast food consists of one Subway. I used to love the f*ck out of Chipotle. I would eat there again in a heartbeat if the nearest one wasn’t 70 miles away.

I’ve seen her on various talk shows and from that I’ve gotten the impression that she’s smart a.f. Gawd I’m so jealous you got to have dry martinis with her...

Yes, I agree that pot does have more of a mind-altering effect.

I grew up with a recovering alcoholic mother, so I sometimes feel like I grew up in AA meetings. I also live in a state where weed is legal.

Aw, sorry hun! ***hugs from an internet stranger*** Breakups are never fun, even if the person is nice about it.

Yesterday was my last day too, but I gave two weeks notice. I don’t have anything specific lined up, but I have plans, and supportive as hell boyfriend who’s confident I (and him = we) will kick ass at the next things.

Minnesota winters can be harsh on everything, including people!

In beds. I live at high altitude, so we’ve already gotten some snow. Not quite down as low as us, but we can see it! Skiers and snowboarders are getting excited.

I put in my fall bulbs last weekend! I’m looking forward to some crocuses, hyacinths, and alliums!

He drinks everything from wine to beer to vodka.

Maybe she woke up last week, heard the news that Brad Pitt was getting a divorce, smiled quietly to herself and went to three hours of hot yoga.

Yes. That’s exactly what hell is. Moving constantly and lots of boxes that are never completely unpacked.

Thanks! It’s actually a situation a lot of people have found themselves in, I’m finding out.

I’d like to get them onto my etsy store, which is disabled at the moment because I sold all the inventory IRL. I’d be happy to send you a link to my etsy store once they’re there!

Hm, yeah, I can see how that might be hard, depending on the kind of relationship you have with your dad. I’ve talked about that stuff with my dad, but him and I align more in terms of our beliefs, so it wasn’t an uncomfortable conversation.

I’m gonna talk to them Monday. I don’t really feel emotionally attached to the job anymore, and am ok with any outcome. It’s kind of a good place to be, actually. So whatever happens, happens, and I’ll be ok.

Yeah, that’s the problem. You finally feel like you’re making progress, and then there’s another box that throws a wrench in the progress. We’re still unpacking and reorganizing. I feel like we should be more done by now (I want to have guests! Throw dinner parties!), but there are still 5 boxes in the living room and…

YES! That’s what it is. The MBAification of the company. We were actually talking about that at work the other day (in relation to another company--didn’t know it’d become relevant to ours in a matter of days). But yes. They’re adding more and more sales and marketing people and cutting back on the production/billable…

Ugh. Yeah, this company was doing ok when I joined, but something always seemed off about their financials, projections, and how work was managed. I wasn’t naive enough to believe that they could continue being profitable, especially with 1/3 - almost 1/2 the staff dedicated to non-production, non-billable roles…

I’ve been making winter headbands. They have a little wider part for the ear, and are all knitted from bulky yarns. They’re actually really cute. :)
