Wow, honored that my mediocre hair inspired you! I just got bangs too, so we will be hair twinssssss. Also, why is Noah Wylie so fucking hot now? I keep getting turned on thinking about his character finally getting to pee lol.

Beautiful bookshelf and gorgeous haircut. 💛 I’m also, 25 years of marriage in, trying to react differently in these kinds of stressful situations. Taking that pause and getting quiet can really help, if we take that moment for ourselves in the midst of it. Not easy, but it does make a difference.

p.s. I thought the same thing about Noah Wyle!

p.p.s. Yay for 600 words of your novel!

It’s amazing how much changing the way you have always done things can help a bad situation. I’m glad you found your way out of the misery of the leak and yay for cutting your hair. In times when I feel imprisoned by my usual tendencies I try to remember “if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you always got.”

I thought Noah Wylie was such a cutie pie back in the day!

Btw, I LOVE your enormous collection of books in the background.

Jenn, thank you for keeping this shit real. We're going on 23 yrs of marriage and this type of stuff never gets easier and I am trying real hard to change my reaction to things that I can't control. Not always successful but I'll keep trying.

I’m thinking about that red light neck bondage device! I noticed Blue Mercury now carries a variety of what I refer to as “face dildos”! Let the lymphatic drainage begin! Sorry to hear about your leak. I hope your vinyl collection didn’t get damaged. I remember when my beloved Stones and Yardbirds bootlegs were damaged by a burst water main!😕

If you have a Kindle you can read the book for free through Prime Reading. I started reading it a couple of nights ago and I’m really enjoying it.

Noah Wyle was 100% my ER crush. I was 18 when it started and did not get Clooney at all...until Out of Sight.
