When I tell my husband I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it. No need to remind me every six months.

All the conversation about sexual assault has been triggering for me. I’m thinking about all the women who might be feeling it, too. These conversations matter, but they can bring back so much pain. Sending you love and support.

I think of the women who question whether what happened “counts.” A date or partner wore them down, guilted them, or made them afraid to say no. Giving in under pressure isn’t freely given consent. How many women have blamed themselves or never told anyone because it happened with someone they knew?

“I have no idea” sounds unprofessional. “We’re exploring our options” sounds like you have a team and a budget. On the BiteDraft blog: “The Art of Saying Absolutely Nothing in a Very Professional Way.” Read it here: bitedraft.com/blog/blog-fu... We can circle back about your thoughts.

Corporate Jargon: The Art of Saying Absolutely Nothing
From “let’s circle back” to “we’re exploring our options,” professional language has perfected the art of using more words to say considerably less.

I heard someone refer to hooking up with an older person as “antiquing,” so apparently I’ve appreciated in value.

I tried to kick a stray dryer sheet off my slipper mid-stride, caught the doorway molding, and basically curtsied directly into a laundry basket.

I love how as an adult, the consequence of doing too much is pain and exhaustion, but the consequence of doing nothing is also pain and exhaustion.

The audacity of my husband asking if I ate the last cookie while sitting there with chocolate on his lip. First of all, wipe your face. Second, that’s my move.

Everyone needs to watch James Talarico’s interview with Jimmy Kimmel on YouTube tonight and SHARE IT EVERYWHERE. The FCC threatened ABC, and the interview was pulled from television. Call it what it is. Authoritarian censorship.

One minute, you’re young and carefree. The next, you’re saying things like, “Let’s just get there early and park close.”

Marriage is asking your spouse to hide the sweets from you until the weekend and then being genuinely offended when he commits to the assignment.

RIP. Dolly Parton. ❤️ What an extraordinary soul. One of the kindest, most generous and most talented people to ever grace this world. She gave so much to others, raised millions for people in need and brought joy to generations. The world was simply better because she was in it.

If I see someone who looks like they could use a hand and your response is, “Someone else will help them,” we probably shouldn’t be friends.
