Bless you TamTams, I may have to look into this!

No dear! It’s quite obvious! You are a very polite Storm Trooper. :-*

Oh yeah, I’m not trying to shit on them, people certainly love them, and there are many, many types. An organization I’m on the board of is trying to get me to go this year on their Viking River Cruise tour of Spain, and while I would looooooove to, it is much much much kaching, and I just spent way more kaching than…

My original carrier was such a sweetheart! Once I was out on the porch and the cats had caught a baby snake and ran into the dining room with it. I ran in, checked to see what kind it was, and then snatched it up off the floor and ran to the front door. I was just about to toss it out without looking and would have…

Your last paragraph is SO important!!! Incompatible travel styles can really screw up an otherwise good friendship. I’ve been lucky not to have it happen but I’ve seen it jack some other people up! If you’ve got an itinerary monster and you’re not one, that’s gonna be pretty stressful, but also knowing how the other…

Perfect! I know it’s subjective but I find your method the correct method. It’s how I roll too.

Yes, that’s why I can never fathom doing those tour group/organized trip deals. When I went to Paris, I was lucky because I stayed with a friend. She knew I was low maintenance so she didn’t take any time off while I was there. I got in on a Friday, Saturday she took me to the metro (I had a Rick Steves metro map…

RIGHT? I’m here working so I can afford cats and books and internetty things in my lovely, peaceful home where none of the worky things are!

DAMN! Flashbacks to the Lanie episode of Sex and the City!

Yeah, I find most adults may have a lot of weekend plans, but they are usually hauling kids around to stuff, home maintenance, trips to Home Depot and Costco, and not exactly ziplining, skydiving and going to raves. I think it’s just one of those default, waiting around for the coffee or meeting to start questions. I…

A lot of my going out and events are in the evening during the week, and a lot of time I actively avoid making weekend plans because I want that time to just chill and get shit done. 

That does sound sweet. I do travel usually three or more times a year, but I love staycation. My company has unlimited PTO, so as long as you’re getting your shit done they encourage you to use it (I can also work remote, so sometimes if I’m doing just a long weekend I get work while traveling). But I love to take…

Y’all are making me love my coworkers. Maybe its just age but usually if I get the ‘Doing anything fun this weekend?’ when I don’t have any plans and I respond “Ya know? I don’t have any plans, so probably some house stuff and a whole bunch of reading and just being lazy.” instead of pity or something, most people…

The Target one or the header image? Because if you have the Target one, how do you like it? I’m in the market for a new purse/work bag and that looks pretty good actually.

Not a bag, but a file drawer at work. Everyone calls my file drawer the Mary Poppins bag. Sewing kit? First aid? Ibuprofen? Vitamins? Lint roller? Toothpaste? Skin irritation? Here, try witch hazel. Oh you’re going to put out Halloween candy for the kids coming in to trick or treat in a box! Oh, no no no, here’s an…

Right? Why do you need two straps to put it over your shoulder?

Thanks for the heads up. I’m glad I resisted the temptation to click.

And apparently she makes bank! I’m in the market for a new purse, so I clicked on that Marc Jacobs cause it was nice! It’s also $495!!! I don’t spend money on designer purses, but I have a few because I wait around until my friends that love Coach and Kate Spade get tired of theirs and hand them down to me. Guess I’ll…

Not every slack chat needs to be an article, for sure.

This needs to be top comment!
