Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Im traveling with my sister and two “cousins” (moms best friend from high school’s daughters, who we grew up with). I’ve traveled with my sister before but not the cousins. Sister is ok. One cousin is great. The other one is adore but…kind of expected to be exactly the way she is. Luckily her sister is also very aware and very helpful. We are leaving Iceland and heading to London now! Just in time for it to cool down, thankfully. I do not need 90F anywhere. Especially somewhere without good A/C.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We are back from ltc’s birthday trip to Salem. I want to go back right now. There was not a day that went by that Teacup and I didn’t get a compliment on our clothes or my make up. It almost got to the point where I could accept a compliment without thinking that the person was just being nice.

Oh, that's lovely, sj!

Woo, London, meara!

sj, that's so cool!

meara, I am living vicariously through your Facebook posts.

-t and Jen: Midnight Burger season finale tonight!!! If we don't get the story behind Leif's arm and foot, I will lose my tiny little mind. (Also, obviously, they'd better find Frank and bring him back in this episode and not drag it out next season.)

Thrive to spite them

Iceland yay!!

I have switched my work hours to 8-5 instead of 9-6. Works better for work. They would love if i would start at 7 but I just cant. Especially when I keep waking up at 2 or 3 am and not be able to go back to sleep.

I've decicded on my glasses. Have to order them today. I'm in desperate need for a haircut and I want to start doing it myself but right now it's so overgrown I'm intimidated and I want to change the cut up slightly so I'm going to see if I can get it cut today and then maintain it.

It's so freaking hot again. And we are in a hear advisory again. I've been in the backroom and I'm not as overheated as I thought but I'm taking extra long breaks.

I also need a new bra especially since I bought this cute flamingo print dress. It's a navy blue background with flamingos. It's this one from Walmart. It's there new line that is more fashionable. Lilly Pulitzer inspired pieces, etc.

M really liked it.

Cute dress!

I keep forgetting about Leif's arm! They tricked us before with him finding out what happened before he showed up at the Horizon but we didn't, right? So, yeah, we're due. Very excited for the drop tonight, so convenient when they happen on a Friday like this

We definitely didn't, and I am dying to find out the story behind it!

Today E is 18!!!! I can't believe it.

I remember the first time I saw him. Mom and i drove up to Charleston where they were living and she saw L's car in the parking lot of their grocery store. So we went in and tracked them down. E was in his carrier and the first glimpse i had of him was the top of his head.

Which I can now only see if he sita down since he is 6'2.

I haven't been the most involved aunt and I missed a lot of him growing up but I love him so much. And my brother and E's step mom (who is really his Mom) have done an incredible job raising him

Well, phew! That was a hell of a whirlwind of an epic season finale, Midnight Burger! Party at the Sheepseye (Sheep's Eye?)! I think I have to listen again very soon. There's just so much. It honestly could have been a series finale, which has me SO curious about next season. I mean, we certainly got a hint...

Can't wait for Shift Notes.

I got everything I wanted: an explanation for Leif's arm and foot (I was NOT expecting Meesock!), a resolution to the cowcatcher (although that was a little too deus ex machina for my taste), and at least confirmation that Frank is alive, if not rescued. Oh! And Caspar actually said "I love you" to Ava, holy shit!!!

I definitely need to re-listen to it.
