Alex wants musubi.

The bingo thing was by chance obv, but nobody else was willing to commit to the bottle thing, someone had to do it for the lols.

I don't mean to brag, but I won both baby bingo and the baby bottle chugging contest at my colleague's baby shower just now.

Agreed on all points.

Also my #1 breakfast sammy delivery is an english muffin.

yours will do it too if you photo them with the sun behind them!

Soon noodle, soon I promise.

MOAR DAFFODILS

YES THEY FUCKIN ARRRRREEEEE

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been there with my mom, in a way. It made it easier and harder in different aspects. The grief is still very true and real. I hope you have folks around you for support and comfort. <3

Bird is part of our origin story, so it's even more than just sentimental, he's like ... foundational.

Good point, I'll make note to avoid this scenario.

I have married the correct man, is what I am saying.

Me: I am so glad I got this, I would have been so mad if I didn't bc of the price
Pete: I'd have bought it if you hadn't so ....

this was my reasoning for dumping $140 into the anniversary boxed set of Andrew Bird's The Mysterious Production of Eggs. I wanted those alternate takes!

Assholes surround themselves with other assholes, ime. [gestures at government]

... this is quite the conclusion to this tale.

I just googled, and now I understand even more why pete's cousin had to run the freeway overpasses to do hill training for his marathon.

how are they misspelling "Yoda" so badly, I don't get it.

i mean aside from golf, when do any of them go outside anyway? you think they won't create some sort of truman show-style dome with full weather control for that purpose?

I was so so glad they were available. I think we managed to keep all vendors within the Healdsburg-Windsor radius.

except for Pete's maile* lei which came from Hawaii.
*ti leaf for CA ag purposes.

Dragonfly almost weren't available bc we got married mothers day weekend, and they understandably do NOT do weddings on that weekend, but Carlisle's bff is Pete's cousin, so she made an exception bc we were just doing four bouquets and the bud vases, not Big Installs.

- this lady was battering her bouquet for the perfect photo op.

any idea if the marriage lasted bc it sounds like she wanted A Wedding™.

some people there is simply no way to make them happy, which I know you know now and knew then. some people are just joyless.

i forgot about a whole bunch of stuff I had on my list "to do" during the day because i was in the moment and full of joy.

meanwhile as you said later -

No that it would be prime waterfront real estate in a warmer climate, and also nice weather than more southerly regions in a warmer climate, and that's why he (and his richass cronies) want it. it's an escape plan, it's climate change migration.

wasn't that one of the theories about why he's so obsessed with greenland?

we have that.

i will be right over.

cotoletta??!!!

I had no idea what they were going to do, I just told them colors, showed them some inspo, and they were like, yeah we can do bud vases. I thought bud vases meant like 1-2 stems each. They basically did mini versions of the bouquets. It was gorgeous. Any reaction less than gratitude is just bitchy.

I missed Dragonfly delivering the flowers and setting up because I was getting my makeup done at that moment, but when I came out and saw everything set up, I began to cry - with JOY because I am not a fucking asshole. They took my very narrow (for weddings at least) budget and did THIS.

It feels like cheating on his part but I’ll allow it.
