My brother, dad, & I met with my dad’s accountant today, & I, the baby, went into full, terrifying, AOSD (agenda, outline, supporting documents) mode which caused the accountant to call in her assistant, hold up my outline, & say, “See? This is what I need from you.” & my brother texted me, “OMFG.”

Obviously it's disappointing that I didn't win the inaugural FIFA Peace Award. I felt like I had a good shot at it, and that there was a case to be made. But I'm not giving up, and I will do whatever it takes to win the next one. They're definitely going to keep giving it out.

no i do not want to give you my email for 10% off. and furthermore, I don’t think i should have to click a button that says “i’m a dumb bitch” to indicate that. you’re a website that sells blankets and you can’t speak to me like that.

For Thanksgiving entertainment, we did an Uncrustables® blind taste test (Smuckers original (top) vs. Trader Joe’s knockoff (bottom), strawberry variety for both)
Everyone agreed that Smuckers was more bursting with jam, while TJ's provided a stronger peanut butter experience
TJ’s won by one vote!
