Life According to Steph: Thursday Thoughts - Oh, I just sit up in the house and resist and not be seen until I cease to exist

Wondering why the hell everyone in DD Tuesday morning had to look at their receipt before claiming their coffee. The DD people were yelling out the coffee orders three times. You just ordered that less than two minutes ago, Derek. You don't know how you ordered your coffee? Get your ass up to the front to retrieve it and let us all get on with our lives. Man alive.

Hoping Bender stops rolling in poop. MFD alleges that he does it multiple times a day. Not for me so far.

Getting paid $125 for two hours of a focus group on Monday night. The topic: Planned Parenthood and bodily autonomy for women. As soon as I heard the topic, I put my hands behind my head and sat back like let us begin. As soon as I started opening my mouth, the facilitator knew she had the perfect candidate.

Replacing plates and silverware at the shore this year. My Dollar Store bowls are going strong from last year.

Listening to Least Complicated by the Indigo Girls.

Fangirling when authors acknowledge you tagging them in something.
