Saw my primary care today and she made me walk back my stretch weight loss goal from 20 to 15lbs. I understand why and hope I can get there by the new year. Just need work to stop kicking my ass

Product recommendation: the londontown "kur" nail recovery set. I had terrible nails but now they are strong and hard. There may be a manicure in my future for the first time in over a decade.

Seasons 1-4 and the recent reboot Resurrection were excellent. Excited for Resurrection season 2 next month

The last time the White Sox swept the Astros in the playoffs, I was in Houston on a consulting gig and could not get a single person to go with me to the games. They were practically giving tickets away. Should have just gone myself.

I think Mickey Mantle's death was the first time I saw my dad cry

Daughter: You need to wear baggier clothes Me: I did not lose nearly 50lbs to wear baggy clothes, child.

Unpopular opinion: Choosing Texas is fine. It's a catchy song. I don't know why it's so popular when there are better songs and country artists out there, but it is, and the commentary cycle about this is tedious. Pop country was my weird covid-fixation and it's continued.

My daughter apparently emailed her 1st grade teacher from Chicago yesterday and got a nice reply this morning. It's sweet to know she's still remembered (especially for the awesome Wednesday Addams costume we did that year!)

Probably the only way I could get my husband to a MLB game

I will be rooting for the Brewers and the White Sox in the post season, both teams from cities I lived in and both ones that I find generally inoffensive.

And four of them wore the blue and orange

Got 2 new pairs of glasses for $477, and I'm thrilled because I got the same frames I have now, but in a different colorway for one of the pairs. Love my current frames but have gotten sick of the color

Shannon @girlwiththemostcake.com · 26/09/2026

I have finally conceded my eyes are shot and I need a stronger prescription. 9am eye appointment tomorrow. Just hope I can find decent frames

I have one month until my next Chicago business trip, then one in each of December, January and February. Then April. “Remote” work. HA!

Who has already submitted her expense report and her manager has already approved? This gal. I'm still at ORD 🤣

In shock - the United lounge has something besides chicken Marsala for once. Beef barbacoa today and it’s actually good!

Had an absolutely delicious meal at Mart Anthony's in the West Loop tonight. Highly recommend for folks in or visiting Chicago

I hope Jenna Ashlyn is smiling somewhere.

Still not a Baty fan, but that was pretty sweet

Giordano's and Mets baseball. A nice night in Chicago. I should do some work but I am too damn tired.

Nobody's Fool is a fantastic film that more people need to watch. Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Melanie Griffith and Jessica Tandy, plus some Margo Martindale for good measure.

So grateful to my company for switching compliance training material -- now you can take a test upfront and if you pass, you don't have to take the training again 🙏🏻 Just finished all of my remaining training in under 30 minutes because I tested out.

I'm surprised but happy. Andy has been a great manager

Chowed Nandos for dinner tonight, as is my “being forced to go into the office” tradition

Back in Chicago. Fastest time to a gate in years. Thank you New Jersey Transit and/or Amtrak for this blessing

And I’m on my way back to DIA. The hail has not yet melted from last night’s adventurous drive back from DIA

Shannon @girlwiththemostcake.com · 21/09/2026

Massive hail storm that we’re driving through. Centennial getting hammered and so is my husbands car

Gas is cheaper in the Denver area than it was in Jersey - this seems really off to me

Crazy rain in the Denver area as we drive back from DIA

It occurred to me at my sister’s wedding that me, her and our mom were all second wives and I feel like that is kind of weird.

My sister tried to throw the bouquet to her new stepdaughter but my kid caught it instead 🤷🏻‍♀️

Passed The Brownstone and pointed out the reality tv landmark to my daughter, who was like, “I don’t understand Housewives”

Danza Kuduro at my sisters reception woke me up

Lost my diamond bracelet during family photos but someone thankfully turned it in 🙏🏻

At a Marriott that only has Pepsi products. I guess the switchover is not complete 😡

My day started when I woke up with 3 huge cystic pimples and immediately drove to my dermatologist’s office to beg someone to inject me before I had to leave for the airport. They squeezed me in. Face still tragic

Back in Jersey where the drivers are somehow worse than Colorado

Took me a very long time to warm to Mark Pinter as Grant. Dack was so good in the role

Having had a very severe concussion that took me months to recover from, I'm rooting for Jared Young. Post-concussion syndrome is a bitch and I hope he avoids it.

Impressed by the money, disappointed by the husband (I did not marry the guy I was madly in love with at 20)

Alvarez needs to stop challenging. forever. he's awful at this

Shannon @girlwiththemostcake.com · 16/09/2026

I'd like to thank my face for deciding to break out for the first time in months, days before my sister's wedding. perfect timing, not like I'll be photographed or anything 😭

Shannon @girlwiththemostcake.com · 16/09/2026

I was hoping for an HR there but I'll take the double
