Sarah M

great name and an outstanding looking dog!!

You mean I shouldn't ask my very specific medical question in front of a group of strangers? Huh.

The people I know who complain the most are homeschoolers and the retired. I don't get it.

Considering restarting the "invite everyone we know" Sunday brunches. I feel like we need a hook though, and maybe opening this bad boy from my in-laws house after 40 years is just the thing.

I've long been a believer in "no is a complete sentence" but am finally living the advice of "you don't have to respond every question you're asked."

At my volunteer gig this morning a church group was also there and one asked everyone "what church to do you go to?!"

Nope.

It's a hilly neighborhood and the houses are far apart. I'm actually amazed we get as many kids as we do.

54 kids in total tonight. Next year I'm leaning in to the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie. They went fast.

Here is what they selected:
12 Cosmic Brownies
11 Twix
9 Star Crunch
7 Snickers
6 plain M&M
5 Milky Way
4 peanut M&M

Today someone stormed down to my office and tried to prove to me that we should implement the very process I was proposing, had they only read it. They also had bad breath and sweat stink and I feel I should be entitled to compensation.

Thank you for your service.

Today I was surprised to learn that the now-iconic inflatable frog costume is in stock and available for purchase. Tempting.

Gotta stay sharp when mocking others.

I can't wait fir next time!

Do you ever just want to apologize to (and thank) anyone who could stand to be your friend when you were a dumb young person?

Stan is at Tonic Ball practice so the dogs and I are listening to Tupac.

Jesus Christ, that's some serious ick.

Found a new season of Call the Midwife, but this episode has a pregnant 13 year old with nutty religious parents, then a pregnancy with the threat of uterine rupture. So relaxing!

Feeling crappy from my second dose of the shingles vaccine. I can't find anything to binge watch that feels just right. Finished the Charlie Sheen docuseries lat night. Watched 2 episodes of Too Much and it's just OK.

Last night I had panic dreams about work. Logged in this morning to find a company-wide email acknowledging World Mental Health Day. Huh.

It's worth a try, but ultimately, just chicken fingers.

He probably thinks they have an office building where attacks are planned.

Feeling nonspecifically terrible today, which is probably related to jet lag, but I’m blaming the indignity of using the stinky and untidy toilet on the long flight from Vienna. If I turn into a zombie, don’t be surprised.

Oops I forgot to learn conversational Hungarian.

Back after over a week in Europe. The Americans seem so…Americany.

We don’t know them.

I can get behind a culture that celebrates beer, mussels, fries, chocolate, and waffles. All of those give my life more pleasure than religion ever did.

When you’re jet lagged and slightly nauseated the last thing you want to see on a breakfast buffet is “tuna in its own juices”

Wow, I had to look up her age. I’m 3 years older than VS. I wouldn’t have guessed that.

I’m never sure what to say when someone says I look way younger than my age. Thanks, I guess? But, aging is fine! It’s 90% luck how a person looks. I’ve worn sunscreen, and lifted some weights but I’ve also eaten a lot of Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers and loved a socially smoked clove cigarette in the 90s

My mom is not that great at technology but I respect that she’s good at texting and never ever types LOL.

Idea for phone trees: make the first option something like "I have already tried the website and it says I need to call" so you don't have to listen to three minutes of how their website is the next coming of jesus.
