I was told a team was excited to have me back & their VP asked for me. Hearing him say what he appreciates most is he can count on me to be direct/honest, he doesn’t always get that, is incredibly rewarding. I knew they were my people. I’m glad to be back with them. I needed this mental boost.

This might be my favorite day of Bluesky. It’s so pretty and colorful and positive. I want to bottle this up and save it.

Reposting this because #booksky should know 📚💙 #Pride 🏳️‍🌈

I’ve heard great things about Theo of Golden by Allen Levi so that’s what I’m reading next. 💙📚 #booksky

Reposting this in an effort to be inclusive when wishing everyone a Happy Pride Month. 😂🤣🏳️‍🌈

To my LGBTQ+ friends: May you be supported, loved, accepted, & surrounded by people who let you be yourself. To our allies who show up, speak up, & stand with us: thank you. We notice. If you’re still figuring it out, that’s ok too. There’s room for you here. Now go be gay and stay hydrated. 🏳️‍🌈

This game is crazy!!!!!!!! I don’t even know who I’m rooting for anymore Texas Tech or UCLA #WCWS

I need to rethink my makeup. In the last few weeks we painted the walls, moved lighting, rearranged my desk, and I’ll soon have entirely different glasses. Nobody in these meetings will notice a difference, but I can’t be on camera and see myself looking pale, shiny, or like I haven’t slept in days.

Wow. That’s a terrible way to lose a #WCWS game. I was rooting for you Nebraska. Sorry.

I successfully avoided thinking about it all day yesterday, but now I need to figure out the doors for the bookshelves I said I’d put together this weekend. It turns out ignoring a project does not, in fact, cause it to complete itself.

Someone help me. My girl is looking through the desserts section of a cooking-for-two cookbook. Yes, there are two of us. No, I do not believe dessert should only exist for two servings. What are we supposed to eat tomorrow? Our memories?

Let’s go Nebraska! I can’t root for the number one seed. #WCWS

I just found out my girl sometimes eats pie out of guilt. We are coded so differently. I eat pie because pie.

Come on Texas Tech!! You can do this!! #WCWS

Today, I’ve already spent an embarrassing amount of time arguing that pizza should never require a fork and knife. Chicago, looking at you. @icehouze.bsky.social is in charge of me for the rest of the day.

Two new pairs of glasses ordered because when you’re old and not wealthy enough to retire yet, you now need glasses for a computer and separate driving glasses. Tell me I’m old without telling me I’m old.

Bret Michaels decides not to play a concert and people immediately start calling him a second-rate Kid Rock? One of those men had teenage me staring at MTV and the other would have me checking the locks before bed. These are not remotely the same thing.

One of my favorite hobbies is throwing out opinions I KNOW will get people worked up just to see how passionately they argue. Saying “Clifford was a great movie” has genuinely offended people. Some of my best friendships were built on me encouraging people to make fun of me for my terrible opinions.

I’m reading It’s All Relative by AJ Jacobs 💙📚 If you want to date comfortably again, you shouldn’t read it because he’s researching a family tree where we’re all related. 👀😬 #booksky

Jimmy said he went there for a lot of reasons and one of them was to find love. What would the other reasons have been? #PerfectMatch

Amelia can do so much better than Toni. I don’t like them as a couple. #GreysAnatomy

Is it wrong that the first thing I want to put in my office fridge is a bottle of wine? At this point we may need to stop calling it my office and start referring to it as “the study”. We can retire there for a nightcap and take up cigar smoking.

Seiger, you already got sent home once and lucked your way back into this competition just to leave again giving my girl Kristen attitude over criticism about a dish that clearly wasn’t your best? Yeah… now I’m REALLY glad you’re gone #TopChef

I convinced myself Jessica Jones was eventually going to realize men were a problem and pivot accordingly, so Luke Cage showing up at the end of #Daredevil really messed with the storyline I had created in my head. 😂🤣

That Requiem episode has me all stressed and anxious but the upside is Jessica Jones!! #Daredevil

Autocorrect keeps changing ON to IN. At this point I’ve accepted defeat. Also yes, I know the difference between YOUR/YOU’RE. I just choose peace over proofreading. I used the wrong one twice to the same person yesterday, so I might blame autocorrect for that too 🫣

We have a saying around here about not asking questions you don’t actually want the answer to. So when I asked if there was anything I could do to help and she said she might send me to the grocery store, that’s on me. I’d rather sit through a 6 hour corporate training than go grocery shopping

“There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.”

Cirie for me. I’ve always been a Boston Rob fan too, but finding out he coached Jonathan dropped him a little in my rankings.

I hate when I wake up and try to go back to sleep but my brain wants to process things.

We heard what we heard #WCWS

Booing a pitcher for accidentally hitting a batter is so trashy. She’s a college kid, not a villain. I know it’s the #WCWS but some of you need to get a grip. Be better humans.

Commentators always make me laugh. “This is the highest scoring team in the league so the key is not letting them have possession of the ball.” Ohhh so defense. You’re describing defense. Thank you for the insight. I now understand lacrosse.

Update: putting dishes away may need to be added to the list because apparently I do it wrong and at this point I’m basically a long term strategic thinker 😉 SMART goals

People explaining dreams feels like being dropped into the middle of a story where everyone knows the plot except you. I’m engaged but somewhere around “then your mom was there trying on clothes” my brain starts quietly buffering. I think I got it all but I hope there’s not a quiz at the end.

I can relate. My response was to say… I really need these updates to stop coming to my phone.

Still waiting…

My BIL went to buy tequila and asked for Patron. The guy behind the counter recommended another bottle and said, “It’s made by Ivanka Trump.” My BIL: I’d rather drink my own piss than anything with that last name on it. #FamilyValues

Lacrosse is intense! We turned on the NCAA championships because a friend went to the game and their badass 10 year old plays. Unfortunately their kid is rooting for Northwestern and we’re rooting for UNC Sunday so I might earn some side eye for that 😬

OMG! Ang is pregnant?!?!? #JSFamilyVacation

Exactly. Sit your ass down, Jonathan! I’m just tired of these same entitled white men showing up everywhere and somehow still demanding all the oxygen in the room #Survivor50

When I was younger, I thought I wanted to be a mom someday. Then I realized I really enjoyed life being all about me and what I wanted. They are the best things to happen to other people, but some days I’m reminded I made the right choice for me. Parents don’t get to be selfish. I couldn’t do it.

When we say we’re finally redoing the office, that means my Lego sets get to go back on shelves, right? Or maybe they have their own dedicated shelving now? #Adulting

Leave it up to Ozzy to be the person in the relationship that talks to much and Rizo being the one who can’t handle it. Meanwhile Cirie’s like… if you can’t stand the heat 🤩

Aubrey won $2M tonight. Production couldn’t make some shit up to give Tiff a car (assuming Cirie wins AFP) tonight. #Survivor50

So do we watch the fire making just to see what happened? It feels anticlimactic. I do t think that was the first Corona of the night. Go home. You’re drunk. #Survivor50

Jonathan: if Aubrey wins this, we’re all screwed. Ummmm, isn’t that the case regardless of who wins? #Survivor50

Tiffany bringing the heat on tribal council tonight. I don’t think she’s gonna have to do much work, but I really hope she sways these people away from Joe and Jonathan. Also, she looks beautiful tonight! #Survivor50

This challenge was so obviously built for a man to win. Also… fuck Jonathan #Survivor50

I need Jeff Probst and Julie Chen Moonves to seriously consider walking away while they’re on top. They’re entering Aaron Rodgers territory. We’re not talking about your legacy anymore. We’re asking why you’re still here. #Survivor50
