You are so inconsiderate and your husband is worse. I will try to be kind to you this weekend when you visit.
Walking down a street in Geneva Switzerland and came upon this. Oddly, it made me think of College Confidential.
Middle son who made my hair turn gray, wow, how you’ve grown up. It was so thoughtful of you and your new wife to tell us to go out to dinner last night on you. I’m so hoping we get to go to Poland in August to see you.
Telling someone their interview needs to be rescheduled 15 or more minutes AFTER it was supposed to start is just rude. People need to take off work and lots of prep just wasted.
The Celtics championship parade is going to be VERY hot, be careful out there people.
So sad. Our son’s in-laws were denied visas to visit Poland. His MIL is just devastated. She just wants to see her daughter! It’s not their fault that Syria has a crazy dictator.
As a result, we won’t be going to Warsaw in a few weeks as we’d planned. We’ll go next spring when it’s not as hot. It doesn’t make sense to leave Maine during the nicest time of year, plus we already took a long vacation in March. But we are disappointed.
I hate these service windows of time…sometime between 8-12. Ridiculous!
Inside Out 2 is an awesome movie.
Support your creatives! A friend’s 14-year-old kid is starting their own business so that they can buy a bike to get to school. We were the first customer.
Love my friends… but… really guys! Friend #1 invited me to lunch for my upcoming birthday. I mentioned that another old mutual friend had moved back to town and asked if she could join us. Sure. So the 2 of them talk to each other for most of lunch and I sat and listened. They ordered appetizers and a main course. I ordered just an appetizer. And at the end they suggest we all just split the bill. Well ok, but, ummm, happy birthday to me?
Hmm so you charge a very hefty overnight parking fee (and it’s not even valet parking), and then you add on another 99c “convenience” fee??
Maybe your kiosk should have prompted me to add a tip as well
As a little girl in a small town in the midwest I was glued to the TV every New Years Day morning. The Rose Bowl Parade was on! I still love it and watch every year.
I will not be sitting in front of my TV next Jan 1st. I will be seated in bleachers watching in person (very close to S’s new apartment). Cross an item off the bucket list!

Window replacement companies----do they think they are selling us uncut diamonds or something??? So so d*** expensive for something they can install quickly in a single day.
Honestly, what the *******?
I do feel badly for anyone who gets negative comments about their appearance and understand that it can definitely take a toll. At the same time, however, when one has made many millions (maybe even over a billion) based almost entirely on one’s appearance, I don’t have quite the same degree of sympathy. If it’s too damaging, then maybe one should get out of the business.
Don’t want to overshare too much of my health news but did want to share God answered prayers for a good surgery outcome today, awaiting biopsy results but doctor anticipates at 95% good news. The tension I’ve carried for two weeks just evaporated…didn’t realize how scared I actually was. God is good!
On Tuesday evening I saw Jon Meacham in conversation with Doris Kearns Goodwin about her new book. He joked that coming from Massachusetts to Tennessee, she needed to have her passport and go through customs. It was funny (as he typically is), but the humor disguises the complexity that I feel about being a Southerner.
Oh Louisiana! Why?
I have been particularly angered by some of the actions of my state government lately, but this is a story from our state that just warmed my heart.
As a synopsis, two times during the baseball series, the baseball players went into the stands to clean up the trash left by the spectators, including after the game when they won the national title. The players didn’t do it because their coach asked them to or because it was some kind of punishment. It was something that the players just did on their own.
“I was the last one out of the dugout and I’m walking up into the stands,” Willis told. “I watched our players pick up the trash of all the patrons – thousands of people that were there. Our team was going through those stands picking up their trash.
“I was blown away at that point, thinking I didn’t tell them to do that. They did that on their own.”
Andrew Lee, the team’s catcher and former Ascension Episcopal standout, said it didn’t require some big team meeting. It was actually more of a natural reaction.
“We were walking out and we saw the trash, so we just kind of did it,” Lee said. “It was something that we could do in 10 minutes that it might have taken someone else an hour and a half to do.
“Coach Willis preaches those kind of lessons to us.”
I can totally, 100% get behind this kind of instruction.
I never in my life have known anyone who can talk on and on and on and on and on etc x 1000 like you do. It’s amazing. I literally cannot get a word in edgewise. If you take a breath I hurry up and start and even then you start back in sometimes without realizing for a couple of seconds that I’m already speaking. Good thing I love you, friend.
