I feel like saying something is “super obvious” should earn someone a lifetime ban from the classroom..

There’s good Planet Money episode on this and it was inspired by one of the hosts getting a call from her own number!

I participated in a 10k yesterday and before we started, there was a pause for someone to sing the national anthem. It felt super weird and I realized it has happened at almost every race I’ve run this year. ????

Prior to my first trip through Frankfurt years ago, I had only ever heard that it was terrible so maybe I’ve just gotten lucky..? I just had to do a fair amount of speed walking and going up the steps instead of taking the escalator this time, given the short connection time. Aside from making sure you are ready to…

I’ve actually had pretty easy experiences flying through there. Coming from the US, you will have to go through passport control but I have never come across a long line - the Germans are quite efficient at getting people through. It’s just a lot of walking, so wear appropriate footwear. Two weeks ago, I had 35 mins…

They are indeed super lazy and don’t require a ton of exercise. However, it does take a lot of patience to get them used to life off the track. Our guy needed a month before he felt comfortable with stairs, almost a year to learn how to play with toys, and forget about learning how to do any tricks (he is not food…

I would read this book.

My hairdresser told me that when she booked her venue, someone there asked her, “Four Weddings is looking for brides having weddings her experience who are willing to be on the show. Would you like to participate?” She noped out of there pretty quickly. I never would have thought of this method of recruitment.

I was travelling internationally a shit ton for work, so remembering to take the pill at the same time was a challenge. Getting an IUD was a game changer. I can’t recommend it enough.

Are you on BCP? When I was on the pill, my drive pretty much disappeared and I just assumed maybe it was because I was getting older or something (wut??). But then I went off the pill and got a IUD, and the sex drive came roaring back like nobody’s business..

A friend and I spent 6 hours driving all over Portland to pick up donuts for our very own donut taste-off a few weeks ago. The Voodoo maple bacon was my personal favorite but friend and my husband voted differently. And by differently, I mean incorrectly :)

Definitely #12. I see a lot of my friends worrying that they are failing in life when they see that they don’t have it all, all at the same time, and fear that time will never come. It’s important to acknowledge that life happens and priorities shift accordingly. It doesn’t mean you’re doing life wrong.

True, true. I made some strawberry rhubarb crumble the other day and couldn’t stop telling my husband that it was by far the most crumble-est. (I fully enjoyed this movie much more than I had expected.)

And now I will not be able to get that song out of my head for the rest of the night. Thanks.

But is there an accompanying post about how to make the deer itself? I am craft-challenged.. :)

Same. While I would love to use a service like this, my greyhound would freak out at spending multiple days at a different stranger’s house each time.

Oooooo greyhounds represent!

Awesome!! I’ve been having a hard time getting back to gym these last few months. I’ve been training for a half marathon, which happens on the Fourth of July and it’s been hard to get motivated when my legs are tired from running. Hopefully, when it’s all over in a few weeks, I can get back to throwing some weights…

How long did the separation training take for you to be able to be gone at work all day (though, with dog walker break in the middle)? And were your neighbors understanding? After over two years, ours still freaks out if he thinks we’re gone and we’re really just in another room. We were making decent progress in our…

My first period after IUD was... something else. Maybe it’s because being on the pill had made them light and only last 4-5 days at most before but holy hell, it was like a massacre was going on down there for like a week and a half. It took a couple cycles for things to get closer to normal.
