Friday Flotsam

Fridaaaaay! Okay, you can’t comment on this freaking blog anymore, I’m hearing.

You guys, I am so sorry. I know the irony of asking you to give advice on a platform that’s not letting you, but I need help!

I was on the phone with Godaddy yesterday for an hour and they were useless. AND wanted a billion dollars to talk to their tech team. No way, dude. Not happening. Actually, want to know their advice for this? Get ready. Oh, you better pony up.

“Talk to a friend about it?”

TALK TO A FRIEND?

So I’m asking you all. Ha!

If you go and try to comment, it will give you an error about captcha or something. Sounds like a sorority. Captcha captcha captcha can I haptcha haptcha haptcha!

Captcha verification gone sour. Something. Guys I have no idea how to fix this. Are any of you web developers or tech savvy geniuses and can guide me on this?

Or is this my sign to leave this space and head to Substack where we discuss thrifting techniques, frugal home styling, maybe a smidge of Taylor and all that?

I need some guidance.

This blog would remain. The recipes would remain. But I’m so sick of hiccups I could almost punch a pear.

(We’re starting a metal band called Punch a Pear.)

Can you please DM me on IG with suggestions? Or email me! I have no idea what to do to fix this Captcha thing.

Thank you and sorry and love you.

BUT ALSO….

I have something to admit. And you won’t be able to comment but I know you’re reading. I know you’re there.

We’re definitely in a Taco Bell era and I can’t decide if I’m super pumped about it or super grossed out.

This is what happened – I made the mistake of watching a Taco Bell “influencer” drive through a TB and order their order (order their order? why is that weird. PLACE their order!) and then unload it on their table and eat it. And I was embarrassingly hooked. Give me all the Taco Bell content.

BUT – because I liked it, the algorithm has now decided I’m a college student and it shows me allllllll the fast food influencers getting their Jersey Mike’s pregnancy subs (it looks so good, you guys) and their nachos at Subway and their Chipotle hacks and I’m so perplexed and inspired and happy and embarrassed and I love it. All at the same time. All of it.

Aaron was like, “Girl you gotta start liking other content, this is out of hand.”

He didn’t say the girl part. Can you even imagine that?

But this is my question about the whole thing – why do their orders look so good? It looks grilled, which apparently you can do at Taco Bell! You can ask for it grilled! Why haven’t I ever known this!

What is your Taco Bell order, is what I’m getting at. Tell me on IG because my blog sucks!

Weekend plans?

You will DIE when I tell you mine. It’s 500 hundred days long with no school on Monday and Tuesday, and I.have.nothing. Absolutely nothing. No soccer, nothing social, no sleepovers (yet. this all changes the moment my children cross the threshold.), nada, zilch, zero. It’s equal parts heaven and a little anxiety-inducing. I don’t need to fill it up. Tell me I don’t need to fill it up. (on IG apparently) I’ll read. We’ll have fires. Make something noodle-y and warm. That is all. I can do this.

Oh! Posted a mixtape earlier this week, which you’ll love, and a chicken enchilada soup yesterday. Get in both and come tell me about it! On IG, that is.

Okay you guys, anyone have Captcha guidance? Be my north star!!

thank you and sorry and love you.
