  • I think we will probably go home tomorrow night Or Thursday morning because I need to return to work and I have a doctor’s appointment on Friday. But we are having so much fun and don’t want to leave!

    That's the first time I've seen rainbow cake that wasn't in a vending machine.

    That’s the first time I ever imagined a rainbow cake vending machine.

    The world gets more amazing every day.
    A night out, even though the nightlife here isn’t great lol

    Actually heels lol, and the nails are acrylics, I ended up taking them off as soon as I got home!
    Don’t worry, my dogs are with me. They’re just not in this picture

    I'm intrigued - in Canada a popular flavor of ice cream and frozen yogurt is "maple walnut".

    The ice cream looks good but that truck behind you looks better. :) Double cab truck, me likey. It's so rare to see them here.

    That sounds divine! :-) It's so warm here at the moment, I could really go for some ice cream right now :)
    I'm leaving to go to Maine in the morning, we are so excited! This is my first time traveling with a significant other (clearly, since I have never had a significant other before lol.) All of my other vacations have been solo vacations so hopefully this will be a better experience.

    Save a lobster, don't order lobster. At Red Lobster, they backed up in the tank, they instinctively knew their days were numbered. Very smart.

    Thanks everyone! @Aspychata I don't eat lobster for this exact reason.

    Someone actually painted this for me as a gift. It is now one of my most prized possessions.

    As an aside, I look like a farmer’s daughter from Iowa lol

    The level of parasocial relationships that Taylor Swift fans engage in honestly really disturbs me.

    She has talked about how before she was famous she liked to drive aimlessly around Los Angeles to clear her head, something I personally can relate to. But now she can't cause she's worried about being mobbed or harmed. People who sell jars of air from her concerts on ebay (yes, really!) show a level of parasocial that is downright creepy.

    That's insane even by parasocial relationship standards.

    I didn’t drink at all last night, I got about 7 hours of sleep, and I still woke up feeling hungover lol. I’m leaving for vacation in two days so I hope I’m not still burned out when I have to drive for 4 hours.
    I’m going out tonight, here is my outfit

    Thanks everyone!! I’m a bit nervous about wearing a rainbow/Pride flag shirt in public, but hopefully I will be left alone since I’m going with a pretty big group, including 3 men who are not to be messed with lol

    Awesome! :-) Kitty and rainbow theme! Love it! :-) Hope you have a great time! :)
    I am potentially planning a trip to Europe sometime next year, or the following spring (Enzo too, since he is a service dog and can fly with me in the cabin.) Anyone who considers me a friend and lives in Europe, and would like a visit from Enzo, let me know! :) More details can be discussed in a PM.

    I asked the cats, they were a little sceptical to Enzo and his intentions. ;)

    I am moving to Europe tomorrow then. Oui, oui Enzo, un petite doggie croissant pour ma ami Enzo, if you please.
    I hate when people bring up something really embarrassing that they're still mad at me for, months or years later, when it was a really insignificant thing and I've already apologized, moved on, and forgotten about it. Like, I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed, just leave it in the past. It's not relevant to anything current.

    Wow, it's like they derive happiness from spouting insignificant crappola. Move on, get mature piehole. People make mistakes, big friggen deal. Because they are so perfect themselves, yeah right.

    He looks so relaxed. His expression is so perfect. Yes, l too would take a bazillion pictures of him. Too cute.

    Enzo contemplating whether it's an interdimensional portal he's staring at.

    (He probably saw that Lost in Space episode too.) ;)

    Or Enzo is thinking, l truly maybe the most perfect dog in the whole world. I think "mom" will be okay with this. I wonder if mom should use buttermilk on my coat before baths, that youtube had me convinced that it would brighten my coat.
    This is me and Benji. We are both a few years younger here. Thought you might like it.
