So this is the deal. There’s a lot on my life that’s not perfect (and yes, I know social media makes everything look great). There’s a lot of stress, and worry, and things not working right, and anxiety, and all of that. Right now, I’m struggling with having been sick a lot this year despite the mild winter, and some overarching dread that there’s some huge health issue and I’m going to die young like my mom..
But every single day I wake up and make the choice to be happy.
Gosh, I love her.
The website for Berkshire Hathaway Inc. never ceases to bring me joy every time I have to load it. Perhaps my favorite corporate website because it visually communicates where their priorities are (i.e. making money, not websites).
Coining a new term:
Jacket Book — Everything you need to know from the book can be gleaned from simply reading the jacket, thus eliminating the need to read the whole book.

Here’s one of those “The more you know…” moments:
Mental Health holds in New Orleans are handled by the Coroner’s Office.
Don’t ask me how I know.
Beatrix has only been to a McDonalds one other time in her life. And only for an ice cream cone. So, when tonight at the fish fry the subject of Shamrock Shakes came up, we realized we had to explain by doing.
My daughter’s school has a place where they can post their (anonymized) college rejection letters and there’s so many layers of awesome here I’m not even sure where to begin.
To some of us, Nineteen Eighty-Four was a warning. For others, an instruction manual.
Everybody does it is not exactly a strong defense.
This is your regular reminder:
A blog (a truncation of “weblog”) is an informational website consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.
Therefore, each entry is called a “post” not a “blog”.
I’ll take no further questions at this time.
Can confirm. This is a thing.
