Friday Flotsam

Frrrrrrrrrrrrreeeedeeerrrlleeeedeeeee!

You know what I never understand? And tell me if you agree, or even notice this.

In books, why does the main character, or any character for that matter, always turn their phone off in a moment of stress or crisis? Like they turn their phones OFF. And I just don’t feel like people do that. You know how many times I’ve read, “they sighed and turned their phone off.”

OFF? All the way OFF? Give me a break. I’ve lit-rally never done that, unless it’s to restart for an update or get on an airplane. And even then it’s in airplane mode. They could just put it in airplane mode! Don’t worry, I’ll alert all the authors now!

I can imagine being frustrated with a text and clicking the little button on the side to darken the phone. And then turn the phone face down on an end table or couch. Or even just turn the ringer off! But all the way OFF? Come on.

Do you ever turn your phone off? Like all the way OFF? Please don’t tell me this is normal.

Also yes I just wrote multiple paragraphs about this topic. #needsfriends

Speaking of! (ha ha. ha?)

I have a potential opportunity to take an exciting trip later this year, and I’m wondering if you’d like to join! Yes I know that is very weird and random. It’s in the very, very infant stages of planning. Like literally nothing is planned out, besides me wanting to see pretty things, eat fantastic food and drink wine. And thrift? And thrift. I would be the “host” of the trip, and Trova Trip would plan it all. We’re getting our toes wet in the “gathering interest” stage. If you are at all interested, I’d love if you would fill out this quick survey! It commits you to ZERO. Just getting a gauge of what idiots would want to travel with a lunatic like me. Just kidding! About the idiots part, not the travel.

But like can you imagine? A trip with all of us? Hahahahah! Sorry.

You do realize that the mom in Arachnophobia is the same woman as Harry’s ex-wife in When Harry Met Sally, right?

Same woman! Helen Hillson. The woman that apparently was retaining water in her ankles because according to Harry, “the woman saved everything.”

Same woman!

That’s all.

Weekend plans? I just started The Tenant and I’m hooked. We can all agree it has the same vibe as The Housemaid, right? Just a different point of view. At least so far. But I’m always into this psychopath-based behavior that rips open relationships and then twists on itself. Sold sold sold.

We have a lot of soccer and some middle school enrollment forms to fill out! YOU GUYS. Tell my ovaries to stop picking fights with my jowls. Because upsettingly, the jowls will win.

From this week:: I posted a Chicken Parmesan Focaccia Toast situation and it’s a prooooooblem. Chewy, crispy, toasted and melty. You’ll be so mad at me. Here’s the video! And also, if you missed my first episode of Book Tasting last Friday, please peep it! Episode two coming later this afternoon, once I wash my hair and put mascara on. And deodorant. Even though you can’t smell my pits.

Sorry.

A trip together, ahhahahahah!
