I adore her books! My favorite was Starring Sally J Freedman As Herself. I also went to Catholic school and unfortunately, my 5th grade teacher was awful and had all the Blume books removed from our library after finding a copy of Tiger Eyes in her classroom. I can’t even remember what part set her off. Luckily, my mom was cool and bought me my own copies.

Oh shit! Beat Street!! Loved this movie.

Name a song you loved from your past that has been redone and you actually like the remake just as much if not better.

I love Miley’s voice so much. Loved her live cover of Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over” with Ariana Grande. Though I would have preferred just Miley.

Labor. It hurt so bad I threw up at home before getting to the hospital. By then I was begging for something to take the edge off. I got an epidural after that so the actual birthing wasn’t so bad. But, man. The labor. 😣

I feel you. My bday is Christmas Day and it just feels like everyone’s busy with holiday parties and everything to celebrate so now I don’t even bother trying to get a party or dinner out or anything going. My 50th was recent and my husband asked me what I wanted to do. Nothing. So that’s what we did. All I wanted was a special cake and he left the ordering to the last minute so I couldn’t even have the cake I wanted. (Sad trombone.) 🎺
