BUT THE WEE BABY TURTLES! (Ok I read that all that were seen or filmed for Plant Earth II were actually taken to the ocean, defying their no-intervention rule. If they hadn’t, I would really have lost my marbles.)

Yes, TN may not have income tax but it has a 9.25% sales tax on goods (7% on grocery items). One dollar for some tissues? No, it’s $1.09. Spending $100? Nope you’re really spending $110!

Already live in TN, hmm. But I haven’t gone to university (yet?) so I’m not in debt because I have no student loans. Yay(?) I mean I might go for a degree but at the same time my twin went for 5 years and it took her until now to finally get a job using her communications degree. Up until then she was still getting…

I love title themes and intros. But when I’m binging I don’t need to watch it more than the first time, so when I started Iron Fist I was glad to skip the intro. Hope they expand it to other things. Basically everything with an intro more than 10 seconds.

I don’t have a problem reading but I do utilize audiobooks so I can “read” while cooking or cleaning. Things that by themselves don’t require much concentration, you’re just on autopilot most of the time. So I get about 25% more read in a year just by listening to things during monotonous tasks that don’t need my…

I’m a millenial but have never driven but will be by the end of the year (thanks to eye surgery). I don’t want or need a new car. My dad passed last summer so what am I gonna drive? A 1998 Ford Ranger, which is a small truck the likes of which don’t get made anymore. Seems strange for a 26 year old woman to drive…

Great. I did get Celtx to toodle around on for a long while before dropping any cash on Final Draft. So I’ll do that until I feel I’m ready. No rush.

Eh, I am really not a lipstick girl. I have tried so many shades and wiped them off immediately because it just looked wrong on me. If I do have anything it is very sheer and light. I cannot pull off most colors with my thin lips and pale skin. So basically I just wear lip balm. Vive la chapstick!

Well I’ve always only had a 1040EZ and this year H&R Block wasn’t charging for a period (still going on, I think?) to file them. Did mine last week. I always do them as soon as I get my W2.

Ha! I did buy a Mac in November of 2008. The optical drive crapped out in 2009 while the computer itself worked amazingly well until 2015, when I bought a new one as a birthday present to myself. And then the old one literally died a death 3 hours after my new one came in the mail. I pried the hard drive out and put…

I read this as ‘How to Handle Valentine’s Day When You’re NOT in a Relationship’ because I’m not ergo my handling of it will be watching Hallmark movies and drinking like a mature adult.

“Not now dear, I’m squeezing avocados.” If anyone remembers that Conan sketch I most defnitely quote it all the time when I choose avocados in the store. I just always get the ones not ripe yet. They will then ripen. I put them in the fridge to slow the ripening. They can last almost two weeks before going bad.

If you have a dishwasher always have it ready to fill with dirty dishes. You rinse a single glass or bowl when done and put it straight in there. Once it’s full, run it, then empty it when they’re clean. It’s empty to be filled with more dirty dishes again. Inbox zero but for your sink.

How brilliant. I have all these grains and am so bad about using them in recipes. If I’m just eating them like popcorn, problem solved! I love popcorn because when you make it at home it is a simple, very filling snack.

I can confirm these are killer, I’ve been doing them for years. They are the kind of thing you would think is unassuming but within 30 seconds you can get to dripping in sweat. While working your core it is also a lot of work for your arms/shoulder/back even when you’re not all the way up on your hands, but on your…

I can’t buy my size in stores, but I know how to do what works for me. And it’s not buying those soft bralette things, because I need support. And adding inches anywhere is not part of the formula, by the way. You wouldn’t add random inches to your hips and buy bigger size pants, would you? My bra size is 30G. Or F in…

Now there’s a frood who really knows where his towel is!

Joke’s on you, flower companies. I’m still single so I’m not buying flowers OR getting them. You can take those thorny roses and shove them back up where the sun don’t shine. I’m sure they will make lovely mulch by March.

I’m writing a short story for a contest right now so I think I’ll take all the free help I can get. The winner gets $1000 but I don’t think I’ll win. The act of just trying is fun, though. A friend is really pushing me and it only has to be 2,500 to 3,500 words so all in all, not a terrible length.

If I’m gonna buy a pricey candle it’s gonna be soy wax which is vegetable based and burns fragrantly, clean and long. Paraffin is not any good. If your candle has black soot all around the edge after it has finished burning, that’s because it’s a gasoline by-product. Yuck.
