You know how sometimes when you think of people from the past, you forget that they were, like, normal and had senses of humor similar to, ya know, us? I feel like this is a possible reminder that somewhere in old timey Iceland there were some old bags that really liked to fuck with the youngsters and got this thing started. (More power to them.)
Hullo! I started an e-mail newsletter last week. Gotta get my shit out there. Feel free to subscribe, or don't, whatever! It's at tinyletter.com/stuffroachknows. Anyone else getting their creative juices flowing in this dreary month?
WOW! Congrats, and hope you got to enjoy some cheese and crackers yourself. : )
As someone who has struggled in the past with "wearing a shirt with Wonder Woman brandishing her lasso," (and it is a fantastic shirt) with pride, I love this article and thank you for it, Nichole!
This was my first thought, too...but then I realized that they hired a photographer for the ceremony and party and will be the first to see the photos. [insert angry face emoji]. BUt maybe I can get some pictures that our friends take and you're right, the handwritten note would be a great touch. Thanks!
They are, although we've already had them over a few times just for kicks. Maybe we'll do it again and up the fancy a little. Thanks!!
Good thinking! What a great gift that must have been for your dad. Going to do some EBay/Etsy scouring this weekend.
Hi, people. I have a gift question. In a few weeks I'm getting married and some family friends are very generously hosting a small get-together after the ceremony. Or, it was supposed to be small and has gotten big. I feel like these people need a proper thank you gift but I'm not sure what that can be. They are an active couple in their 60s who live in New York City and already take full advantage of everything the city has to offer. Additionally, they are very wealthy and have well-connected friends, so anything that I would normally give as a nice gift (great theater tickets, night out at fancy restaurant, etc.) they either are already doing or could get a better offer from one of their well-connected friends. (i.e., backstage pass and opening night tickets from their actor/theater friends, their own table and tasting menu from chef friend, etc.) Even if we did take them out to a nice dinner and told them we were paying, they would probably find a way to slip a couple hundreds in one of our pockets on the way out, cuz why the hell not. They are also the type of people who have everything they need and more, don't want more THINGS, and would tell us frankly if they thought we wasted our money on something dumb. Oh also we're not in a position to, like, spend a whole lotta coin on this. Whattttt to do help please.
Same. After the SECOND person broke their arm and collar bone and had to have surgery to get pins in his arm. (After the first kid who had to get surgery/pins they were still like, eh, lightning doesn't strike twice, right?!?)
