• First and foremost, do you have a favorite frozen way to consume alcohol? I like a beer float- fruity or sours with vanilla, stouts with chocolate or caramel usually.

I’d still give a reason for a sick day, but we’ve started getting 1 day a week to work from home. I used to give a reason why I was taking a day, because my coworkers don’t take advantage of this, and then I realized nobody cares why I want to be at home Thursday instead of Wednesday.

I just got into an argument about red delicious apples with my boyfriend last night. We had 1 apple left for a cheese plate, and I thought it was one of my good ones, not his trash apple.

That was always my theory about similarities between people born the same time of year, especially in more agrarian times- the mothers eating similar foods, and facing similar issues (disease, heat, etc.) around the same times.

I found out right before I got to work, so I haven’t been able to process it fully, but I didn’t believe my boyfriend when he told me. I thought he must have been making headlines for something else- his advocacy, his show, anything.

Taking the bus instead of the train to work. I figured it saved me about $1000 a year, so it seemed like a no-brainer at first. I’m reading a book anyway, so my commute is normally good leisure time.

I add it to chili, especially in the depths of winter when my supply of grilled, frozen chilies runs out.

I really like a pair of flat sandals I got from Vionic! I heard about the brand from a plus-size travel group, who are very focused on good, supportive footwear. I haven’t tried their professional flats yet, but that’s my next purchase.

Aw I used to sing this to our old dog Georgie, because he had terrible breath.

I have glass ones, which might also be an option for you. They’re wide (boba sized) and very easy to clean, and I appreciate being able to SEE that I”ve gotten them clean.

Bud light lime is one of those things love has done to me- after dating someone who outdrinks me 5-1, I’ve started cheaping out. I stopped buying the good stuff for home when I realized I’d get 1 beer out of the 6 pack.

I love cooking fajitas while enjoying a Sea Quench or a bud light lime (depending how thrifty I feel that day.) A sip for me, a glug to deglaze once everything is solf and nicely charred.

I feel like this movie is what that woman who pulled a gun on a Hispanic man in her neighborhood in Vegas was imagining. https://www.theroot.com/behold-beelzebecky-white-woman-tries-to-get-man-killed-1826150663

I just saw an instagram ad for this course! I was so unclear why is showed up in my feed, but I’m happy that it exists and you took it.

This isn’t quite the list, but I need to be better about seeking free/cheaper options before I buy things. I need to curb the impulse of shopping to do my homework.

I’ve been seeing a lot of “salt and pepper” diamonds lately. It’s funny how something that was a flaw is now a selling point, without a real decrease in price.

I hated the TJs ginger beer- way too sweet for a good dark and stormy, I thought.

I skip the sugar, tend toward a more vinegary than creamy slaw (like if the awesome pupusa cabbage and slaw got together) and punch it with a bit of mustard and cayenne. My ideal slaw brings enough cooling if you eat it with spicy, tangy food, but has some pop on its own if you want to eat it solo, or with mac and…

My relationship has improved greatly now that my boyfriend understands I don’t want to do his hobby with him (as much as he’d like to share) and I’d rather do my own thing at the same time.

I scraped another car getting out of a space yesterday, and saw my savings account flash before my eyes. I’m really lucky the guy was chill and told me not to worry about it, but I spent all night freaking out about how a little mistake could knock me out financially.
