    You know those graveside services they have in the spring because they couldn't during the winter? I'm going to one in June and really am stupid about dress etiquette. I know it's most important that I'm there but is a black dress still appropriate? I feel since it'll be almost summer I should be dressed all flowery and stuff. :/
    Just wondering.

    Funeral dress etiquette still calls for conservative and traditional clothing in darker tones. I think it’s meant to keep the attention on the person you are remembering. Honestly, I have and I would wear something black or black and white. I’m sorry about your friend.😕

    My dad's was delayed a couple months and his was at the end of May. Everyone wore dark colors. We wouldn't have cared if they hadn't though.

    Why does my arm hurt? Like it feels like I've scratched it but there's not a mark

    Why we're not down.

    I thought we were supposed to be down.

    I typed "extinction" on my phone today and it suggested emojis for dodo bird 🦤 and mammoth 🦣. I debated not using a period after the mammoth but my 5 year old thought it was hilarious. He doesn't know about the smiling poop emoji yet. I'm considering showing him.

    I got home from work yesterday and was parking my car (I back up into the space). The car next to me decides to pull out before I'm done and taps my car. I sat in my car for a few seconds with my rbf on and then got out. I glanced at the guy who was already looking for damage for a sec and said, while still walking, "I don't even give a *kitten*."

    What can I say? I'm in pain 24/7 these days and I had laundry to do.

    And, honestly, there are about 3 different cars that use that same space and none of them know how to park. It's annoying.

    So, basically, this was a not really on my mind thread. :)

    Grandparents Day. Volunteered at my youngest’s school so I got to kind of be a part of it. Watching the kids. Thinking about our neighbor who was our adopted grandpa because I never had one really. And my grandmas didn’t want to go. Sweet to see my parents with my son and see all the others too. Try watching that or telling someone about yours as a kid and not cry.😭❤️

    I look forward to late nights in the office because we bill the dinner to the agency and I like trying out the various low-calorie-but-expensive ice creams they have here.

    Obviously when I try to read certain posts on MFP, my eyes glaze over and my brain turns to sludge. :(

    Also, why my situationship dodge my question of when he’s next available? 😕 I especially hate this beginning stage of does he like me or is he just going to slowly ghost me? Am I being needy or am I asking for what I want? I mean, the guy is busy a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️. Has multiple jobs that makes having multiple girls easy. I’m like…. Ya but why do I care about that? I was the one thinking about polyamory but idk if I’m chill enough.
    Plus I’m hormonal and got in trouble with the po po this morning and I wanna cuddle. BUT maybe it’s too early to lean on him????? ALSO BUT I often just try to take care of myself and only comfort other people and maybe asking to see someone isn’t such an ordeal…… 🙄I don’t think I’ll ever stop sounding like a teenager 🙄
    I come here to vent when I don’t need other social media linked to my emo-ness

    Well guys, I’ll be in Dallas TX all next week training! I should get a map for my wall and mark off places I’ve been. Technically I’ve at least driven through most of the east coast. Uk and costa rica. California. Tennessee.
    Excited and nervous since the airport is very strict about being on time and my dumbass gets lost relatively easily. So hopefully everything will work out bc I’m gonna hella cry if I lose this job. BUT I’m gonna trust that the best case scenario will happen. I’m the absolute best employee ever and I get to have enough time to fly cool places and find cheap hotels. 😁 Rumor has it moving up in the company isn’t that hard.

    These hard seltzers are awesome. Low calorie, too, for if you're watching calories. I'm.... storing calories more than I'm watching them 😐

    Not bad for quenching thirst, also. With the added bonus of feeling good.

    Those drinks at the bar turned out to be just what the doctor ordered. Not too much and not too little.

    Also, I like when I swipe my debit card at the register and the machine says "approved." Means I don't have to steal at shizz, and break a run for it

    Wondering if this crocodile skin with fur collar would be a bit too gaudy 🤔

    Another option would be cashmere with crocodile accents

    @James__Jordan If you like it... that's all that really matters. Who gives a rat's @$$ whether anyone else likes it. Funny thing about trying on clothes, we usually go right back to the first thing that catches our eye.

    Clothes are like foods, we don't have to stick to the same menu.
