I Love a Mama’s Boy S.2 Ep.10 Not a Recap

Photo by Vie Studio on Pexels.com

I keep trying to come up with clever titles but I’m starting to repeat myself 😜😜. So for the rest of the season (which is probably a few more episodes – 12 to 14 maybe?) I’ll just site the season/episode number.

Shekeb, Emily and Laila (mom): The fallout from the “promise ring” fiasco continues this week. And I’ve decided that promise rings are bad after a certain age, like 16 😆😆. As it was pointed out by Emily’s friend you’re getting engaged to be engaged, why not just get engaged. Good point – I think I said something less eloquently in a previous post 😁. Before Emily departs the non-proposal event, which in her defense appeared as a proposal (ugh I hate defending her) she massively disrespects Laila in front of Shekeb – which could be her final nail in the coffin. It was bad enough she was throwing a tantrum but to take a mouthful of champagne and spit it in his mother’s direction, I wouldn’t abide by that either! As for the ring, Skekeb gifts it to his mother after all. Just no Shekeb 🤦‍♀️. After a few days, Emily decides to talk to her (above mentioned) friend and realizes she acted horribly, so good on her for that. She actually said she wasn’t gracious and decides she wants to try to salvage the relationship. Yeah, like Laila’s gonna let that happen 😒. She basically told Shekeb that Emily is dead to her. Quite frankly, they all acted like assholes over this whole thing – Shekeb for pulling the whole promise ring stint instead of just having a conversation with Emily; Emily for acting like an ungracious brat because she was disappointed and embarrassed (not sure why she was embarrassed – because of the camera people maybe?); and Laila, who still hates Emily, deciding they need to test her with the stupid promise ring.

Bryan, Tracy and Jayne (mom): The real dysfunctionality of Bryan and Jayne really shows in this episode 😬. Tonight’s story arc for this trio is that Jayne has been asked out on date from one of the dating apps! Go Jayne! Tracy is beyond thrilled as she hopes it will get Jayne to be less focused on her family (good luck with that 😆). Since Jayne is nervous, she asks if Tracy and Bryan will double date with her (of course she didn’t mention it to the date, who was quite gracious about it). So it turns out Jayne hasn’t had a relationship since Bryan’s father left them years ago (FYI – Bryan is 29) because she was so hurt by the experience, she put her love life on a shelf (even I’m not that bad 🙄). And Bryan wanted to keep her from every being hurt again, so he has been completely against the idea of her dating, ever. So if you haven’t guessed already, the date does not start off well as Bryan is openly hostile to this guy and it’s only the first date. I was surprised that Jayne called him out for his rudeness and Tracy is regretting her decision to double date. The date is to be continued next week, but I think you can see why I said the dysfunctionality is really coming out this episode 😳.

Theous, Tia and Carolyn (mom): Theous decides the best way to set boundaries with his mom is to take her out to lunch and not tell Tia 🤦‍♀️. During their lunch, Carolyn is complaining that her knee isn’t better (probably because she won’t do her PT exercises at home?) and she thinks that if she moves in permanently with Theous and Tia it will help her knee get better (yeah you figure that logic out because I’ve got nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😆) and Theous agrees, WITHOUT TALKING TO TIA 🤯🤯. These two are killing me 😵. So they drive home so Theous can pretend to ask Tia about it without telling her he already agreed to let Carolyn move in (to a 2-story house with her bad knee), while Carolyn hides upstairs. Since Tia believes in family helping family, she agrees as long as Theous continues to work on becoming independent from his mom (remember to pay his bills on time, help his son with homework, etc.). Tia is a better person than I am because I don’t know that I could invite someone who openly causes problems in my relationship and disrespects me frequently into my home. I can’t even imagine how this will work out 🤔.

Now the best for last – Matt, Kim and Kelly (mom): First I have to say I have a girl crush on Kim. Honestly, the way she has composed herself living in with Matt’s parents and taking constant verbal punches from Kelly is beyond impressive and I really want her to find a healthy relationship where she is the third wheel (it’s like a weird throuple and Kim is the one getting kicked out of bed every time because she isn’t the primary in the relationship with Matt 😬). So it turns out that after a few weeks of constant contact, Kim has been m.i.a for 2 days. When Matt finally gets ahold of her to show her the progress on the house (with Kelly snooping in on their conversation of course 😡) she is a little short with him and it’s obvious something is up. Matt realizes that he needs to visit asap to salvage their relationship so he tells her he will be coming as soon as he can get a flight which Kim agrees to. And of course, Kelly says make it two tickets (first class for her she says 🙄) because she wants to be there if things go wrong. Jeez lady, he’s an adult – let him figure it out himself! Flash to Austin where we see Kim having drinks with her new friends. And my lovelies, she is NOT wearing her ring 😮😮😮😮 (yes I looked for it 😆)! Am I surprised? Given the fact that every week since she announced her promotion I’ve told her to run – nope, not at all 😁. Kim is realizing how f🤬🤬🤬ed up and toxic their relationship is and that she feels like she can breathe in Austin. If any of you laid bets that this would be a good move for her, make sure you get you 💲💲💲.

Next week we see Matt, Kim and of course Mrs. Buttinsky Kelly meeting up to talk. It doesn’t look good 😳.

So ends another not a recap recap. I don’t know what I’m going to do when this season ends as this is one of my favorite shows to talk about ☹️☹️. I guess I’ll have to find something else just as off the beaten path as this show 😁. If you have any suggestions…

Before I sign off, if you are an animal lover, I have an awesome new show to suggest – Arctic Vets on Nat Geo Wild! The animals they treat are amazing to see, so give it a shot if you are so inclined 😊😊.

Just When I Thought Things Were Going So Well

Me Thursday afternoon 😜
Photo by Kat Smith on Pexels.com

Happy November My Lovelies! Halloween has come and gone, and I way overestimated the amount of trick or treaters I would have. Planned for about 50 to 60, had about 10 ☹️. I’d like to say I’ll save the leftover candy until next year, but let’s be realistic 😆😆😆.

Anyway, on to today’s nonsense 😁. I swear I must have the most post’s where I make a claim (last weeks “It Has Been a Great Week”) only for something to happen to turn me into a liar 🤪.

This time it was 23andMe that ended my streak of peace 🙄. As I last mentioned, I filled out the required paperwork, scanned it, along with my DL, and sent it back on Thursday afternoon. I was then prompted to create an account with them. At the very end of the process, they ask for my kit number, which of course, I don’t have, because I don’t have access to my data! I leave it blank, notify the Henry, the agent I’m working with online, that the account is complete. Receive an email stating my request has been updated and to reply to this email with any questions or additional comments.  So, I respond asking when I will be able to see my information. Again I am informed that my request has been updated yada, yada, yada. I take this to mean that all is set, so I logged in and (drum roll please 🥁) – NOTHING! Nothing EXCEPT the profile I set up minus the kit number, because (say it with me now) I don’t have the number! Now I’m getting annoyed and send another email requesting the kit number so I can register it. And I get the same response “your request has been updated below….” Apparently the “below” part just refers to the original response of “set up an account…” At this point I am pissed. I try one more time with the following “additional comment” via email:

I have followed all of the instructions provided in this email, created my account, confirmed my email and yet when I log in it has none of my data under my profile and asks me to register a kit number, which is number I don’t know or have. So my request to have my sample attached to my account has not been “updated” so please let me know what I need to do to get my access to my profile and stop telling me it’s “updated” when it clearly isn’t or I would be able to see my data on my profile. Charleen

Response? “Your request has been updated…” I almost lost my s🤬🤬t. I decided to wait until Friday and call customer service in an effort to resolve this issue. Now if you think customer service solved my problem (which most of you are probably laughing at me for my naivete 😆😆) you would be as wrong as I was. After going round and round about the issue, he finally understood the problem and had the nerve to tell me that the information was private so he couldn’t give it to me. Enraged and trying to keep my cool I responded “I know it’s private IT’S MY DATA! And you are telling me that I my data is private so I can’t have it?” At this point I asked to speak with a supervisor which he could not do at that time, could someone call me back? At this point I agreed because this call wasn’t going to get any better and my attitude was only going to way worse. I told him that I had been in contact with someone named Henry via email before hanging up.

Now I didn’t expect a response until Monday, but low and behold another email comes through from Henry. And you won’t believe what it said 😳. And I quote:

“You have received a request from Michael Last Name to accept the transfer of the profile for Charleen Last Name to your account. 

If you would like to accept or reject this request, please click on the button below to view your pending profile transfers. Please note that you may need to sign into your account if you are not currently signed in.”

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! 

They had to contact him so that he could allow my own data to be transferred to me! Are you kidding me? My own data is private from me but not my ex just by the virtue of him putting both kits under his own account. How F🤬🤬🤬ED UP is that? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of 🤯!

Of course, I accepted this ludicrous request just to cut the ties, but 23andMe is getting an earful about the way their system is set up 😡.

So for a day and a half my week went off the rails but by Saturday all was right with the world again and I was feeling less murdery (yes I know it’s not a real word – thanks Microsoft 🙄) again 😁.

I tell you this long-winded story for three reasons: a. of course this would happen to me, I think I’ve documented enough similar stories to prove I have weird things occur around me; b. to give you a good laugh 😆; and c. to encourage you to track your own data and keep online accounts as separate as possible to avoid this kind of nonsense.

Learn from my messes My Lovelies 😊! And never be afraid to laugh at yourself 😜.

Note: Tuesday is Mama’s Boy and it’s a doozy 😬.

It Has Been A Great Week

I have to say, this has been one of the best weeks I’ve had in a long time. The weather has been beautiful, my writing has been on point, my emotions are in a good place – just a peaceful week 😊. 

Of course, just as I was settling in to sleep the other night feeling incredibly content, my anxiety flared up 🙄 (so much for contentment 😜). Fortunately, it was mild, but it did follow me into my dreams in the form of my ex-husband. That’s when I realized that the negative voice in my head, that evil little Jiminy Cricket (JC for short), likes to attack me in my dreams by showing up as my ex-husband acting like a jackass. Well that needs to stop asap! Recognizing he’s the problem is half the battle right 😁?

In order to shake off the energy of evil little JC, I thought I would do some updates and an anecdote to end my week with you all.

Updates: 

I should have mentioned yesterday that my horse is just fine after the vet visit 😊. I, on the other hand, have another vet bill coming my way, SSSSSIIIIIGGGGGGHHHHH (to dramatic? 😆). Seriously though with the vet bill 🤢.

The ear is pretty much healed and not hearing the popping and cracking anymore is such a relief 😮‍💨. I do not recommend ear infections for anyone 😒.

I swear I’m getting closer to signing up for a dating app 😁. It’s just so weird because when I was a part of the dating pool (waaaaaaay back when, you can say it 😆), I never had trouble meeting men. Hell, even after I was married, I never had trouble getting hit on. Sadly, it’s been 5½ years since the last flirtation occurred.

In regard to my Halloween post, one of my best friends kindly reminded me that you can’t say the title of one of the movies without singing it 🤣🤣. I’ve included the link to said song for your viewing pleasure 😁. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3uIKzgcDxo. Also check out this clip for the best worst line in the same movie 😆😆😆 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Hq5jJDrAg.

Organizing my desk is definitely on the to do list for today 😊.

23andMe came through with the next steps for getting my DNA profile under my control, so YAY me.

Real Housewives Anecdote: I have a complicated relationship with organized religion, despite the fact that I was raised Catholic, my father was once in seminary school studying to be a priest, my Uncle Bill was a priest, and my Aunt Irma was a nun for over fifty years! As a result, I struggle whenever people ask for prayers regarding some issue in their life, and I usually fall back on saying “sending positive energy your way”, but that doesn’t work for all occasions. Then this week on Real Housewives of Potomac I found a solution to my problem when one cast member said to another – “I’ll speaking healing words for your family.” This is a perfect way to convey my feelings! Who says you can’t learn from reality tv? 

I’ll close out this post with one more positive for the week. If you are plus size (like me 🤷🏼‍♀️) or struggle to find jeans that fit, you will appreciate it when I say I found some awesome jeans that fit and, to top if off under $30 – Woo Hoo 🍾🍾. Thank You Cato Fashions! Way to round out my week!

Happy Halloween weekend My Lovelies 🎃👻! See you in November 😊.

My Forever Weird Dreamscape

Photo by Alex Andrews on Pexels.com

Yep, we are dissecting my dream world again today. I’m beginning to wonder if some underlying stress in my life is causing my sleeping brain to work overtime to solve problems, because I hardly ever feel rested 🥱.

First up is just a few of images and a feeling I was able to pull from my dream. The two overriding thoughts were of a boxer/boxing match and the color yellow, like bright sunlight yellow. Somehow the two were connected and I had failed to get the yellow (sunlight?) to the boxer on time and I was embarrassed and disappointed in myself. And I kept coming back to the same thing over and over even though I woke up a few times trying to escape the dream 🙄. I tried a little googling to see if I could find out what the images meant, but sadly I got nowhere 🤷🏼‍♀️.

I was finally able to move on to a slightly less weird dream but no less annoying in nature 😆. I was at a house that was mine, but of course looked nothing like mine, my sisters were visiting, and I was trying to decorate for Christmas (The Most Wonderful Time of the Year 🎄) when my older sister decided to make a bed out of pillows, sheets and blankets on the floor of my walk-in closet. It looked pretty comfortable but all I could think was “I can’t get to my clothes 😡”. Meanwhile my younger sister started putting out Christmas tchotchkes on my dresser and the only apparent theme was 70’s kitsch. And some of the tabletop decorations didn’t even work! Although one that worked was a piece that rotated around a light and projected images on the wall. I quite liked that one. The one that needed to go was a plastic Santa that had a non-working bulb that I didn’t have a replacement bulb for (it really reminded me of something from my childhood). Another piece had Goofy and Mickey Mouse on either side of Snoopy, all wearing Santa hats. At least this image I can parse out because I decorate a lot with Peanuts, Snoopy and Woodstock more so, and my sister is a Mickey fanatic. My sleeping brain just connected the dots 😁! Unfortunately, I was getting annoyed because there was no thought behind the design, just a bunch of stuff plopped on my dresser. Then she insisted on hanging up a Christmas bathmat on my wall, which I promptly took down after being impressed that she hung the heavy thing with just on push pin (yep, my brain picks up on the strangest details 🤦‍♀️). After placing the mat back where it belongs, the dream dissolved, and I woke up trying to hold on to the details of both dreams.

And now I am sharing them with you. I figure one day someone will be able to figure out the nonsense in my dreams 🤪!

Comments, as always, are open.

P.S. I almost forgot one more small dream that appeared to be prophetic. I dreamt I ran into my horse vet – Dr. Nicole – and she was on her way to an appointment, so I didn’t keep her. That was the dream. The next day I get a call from the guy boarding my horse and they had to have the vet out to check her out because she was getting colicky again. Coincidence 🤔? I think not.

It’s That Time Again – We’re Talking Mama’s Boy

Photo by Vie Studio on Pexels.com

It’s time for another installment of what the f🤬🤬k did I just watch on I Love a Mama’s Boy 😆😆😆😆. The selfishness and disrespect of the moms really hits an all time high this week. It’s both wildly comical and ridiculously sad all at the same time.

Enough chit chat, on with the not a recap, recap 😁!

Shekeb, Emily and Laila (mom): The time has come for the big promise ring reveal and before it happens, I’ve decided that promise rings for adults is a really bad idea. This idea that you are engaged to be engaged is just bullcrap. Be an adult and have a conversation to set expectations, like time frame for engagement and how much will be spent on the ring (Emily is still in the wrong on this). So Shekeb and his mom set up a picnic with a little charcutier and champaign in some random park. Shekeb claims he busted his ass getting this together and even though it was thoughtful, it didn’t take that much energy to put it together. Emily shows up nervous because she thinks it’s a proposal because that’s what it looks like. I was almost on her side until in her interview she said she should be “flown to a private island and had this whole luxurious and extravagant experience” for her engagement – just no Emily. Guess it’s a good thing this wasn’t an engagement 🤪. So, they are talking and eating, when Shekeb decides to present her with a strawberry with the ring hidden inside. And he doesn’t just give her the berry, he shoves the whole thing in her mouth so she can bite into it an find the ring (if she doesn’t choke first that is 🤦‍♀️). Meanwhile, mom is hiding in the background (because of course she is) waiting to sprinkle candy about as it is a cultural thing meant to symbolize sweetness for the rest of their lives – which would have probably gone over better had a. this had been a proposal and b. Laila hadn’t scared her to death by dropping it on her head from behind when Emily was unaware of her presence. Now if you thought this went over poorly, you would be correct. I get that Emily was hurt, embarrassed and angry since she thought she was getting engaged when Shekeb was really asking her to “hold a spot” for him (double 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ for that statement) but her reaction was very ugly, in my opinion. Just not how I would have reacted, but that’s me. And of course, she failed Laila’s test 😬. One last comment before I wrap this segment up – don’t put rings in food or drink, can we just agree to that?!?

Theous, Tia and Carolyn (mom): This will be shorter because Tia’s issues are two fold – she feels pushed out of the family dynamic because of the mother son (dysfunctional) relationship and she wants Theous to learn to take care of himself (i.e pay his bills without being reminded all the time, help his own son with his homework instead of relying on Carolyn – who may not be the best resource, etc.) because Carolyn isn’t going to be around forever. Tia holds a family meeting with Theous and Carolyn to discuss these issues so that she an Theous can have a healthy relationship. Carolyn’s response to the meeting in her side interview? “I hear the words coming out of Tia’s mouth but I’m not really listening because there’s nothing she can do to about our (her and Theous’) relationship.” 😮. I don’t see any change coming soon in that dynamic. The co-dependency runs deep with this mother and son 😬.

Mike, Steph and Liz (mom): There segment begins with Steph packing to stay with her parents before she leaves for LA (run girl, run 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️). She is giving herself six months to see if she can make it in LA and still leaving the door open to the possibility that Mike will join her. Before she leaves she tries one last time to talk Mike into considering coming out to LA when his mom calls and he interrupts her to take the call (call her back dude 🙄!). Steph departs and we flash forward a week and Mike says he started thinking about their relationship and what Steph means to him (you waited until NOW 🤯? Idiot) and says as fate would have it he’s  been offered some great job opportunities in LA that he might want to pursue. You can’t make this shit up. Mom Liz of course says she wouldn’t stand in his way, but really, she tries to guilt him into staying (not that he had decided to leave, yet) by bringing up the fact she was in CT as was all of his family. She admits to the viewers that she “definitely needs Mike close to her…” and wants him to have some separation from Steph (like an entire country 😆). So really it’s all about her and her needs. Cut the damn strings lady and let him follow his path. Maybe he needs space from you to learn how to adult on his own. Like Theous 😜!

Last we have my favorite girl Kim, who is engaged to Matt, and his mom Kelly (changing up the format 🤣🤣🤣): It’s time for Kim to run  move to Houston, like get on the plane and fly far, far away from Kelly. As Matt and Kim are getting into the car Kelly comes out to horn in on the trip to the airport. Matt’s all like sure you can come along, and Kim can’t say no because Kelly wouldn’t listen if she did ☹️☹️. Jeez lady give them there last moments together! On the ride Kim asks when Matt will come visit her and he says he’ll be out in a couple of weeks after she settles in and Kelly pipes up that she will also be coming 🤦‍♀️. If I thought a “come to Jesus meeting” would work with this woman, I’d tell Kim to lay into her, but it would fall on deaf ears 😡. Oh and he drops Kim at the curb – doesn’t park, walk her to the check in and then security – he leaves her at the CURB 😳! So, so many things wrong with this. And while Matt is genuinely distraught at her leaving, Kelly couldn’t contain her glee. I will leave you with these two quotes that sum up her complete assholery about the situation: Kelly to Matt “I’ve got you all to myself” and “I don’t want to share you”. Just chew on that until next week when things are going to get really interesting, dun dun duh…

That’s my long and winding not a recap, recap. Rest My Lovelies and we’ll talk dreams tomorrow, which is always good for a laugh 😁!

Note: Don’t forget – you can catch up on past not a recap, recaps by searching “I Love A Mama’s Boy” in the tags.

The Second Most Wonderful Time of the Year – Halloween

Photo by Aleks Magnusson on Pexels.com

Happy Monday My Lovelies! Do you realize we are 8 weeks out from Christmas? If you said “ugh” I’m right there with you. And I love Christmas time. I just like it to at least start after Halloween 🎃 👻. At least I get to see trick or treaters for the first time in 9 years – YAY ME!

Speaking of Halloween, I took my self out Saturday to enjoy the latest in the Halloween saga and I have a few thoughts (no real spoilers here 😁). First, how does anyone think a handheld circular saw is and appropriate weapon against Michael? There is no flexibility in that type of saw and it’s not the easiest to wield! Next, why do they waist ammo when they don’t have a clear shot? And shooting him never works, EVER! Also how has no one shot him in the head by this point? Moreover, I want to know who keeps giving him a new mask – that thing is fifty+ years old and been beat on as much as him, don’t tell me it hasn’t been damaged and in need of replacement, so who is his accomplice? Lastly, he’s 61 years old in the latest movie (it’s set in 2018 taking up where the last movie left off) – how has he not had any health issues carrying around all that hatred for 55 years – that’s gottta cause some issues, right? These are the burning questions I have about the movie/series! 😆😆😆

All that aside, the Halloween series is by far my favorite horror series, and I’ve been enjoying different Halloween movies throughout the month of October, except for Rob Zombie’s Halloween remakes because I think the original still holds after all these years. And also Halloween III Season of the Witch, because it’s a decent standalone movie, but has little to do with the series.

As it is the spookiest month of the year, I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite scary and not so scary movies for you to check out if you haven’t already. Be forewarned, most are from the 80’s because that’s my thing 😁. 

On to the list:

  • Fright Night – the original is very campy, which I love, and the remake is more serious and I can appreciate that.
  • Of course, you can’t forget the Nightmare on Elm Street series – original all the way!
  • Once Bitten is good for a laugh and has a very young Jim Carrey spearheading this goofy vampire movie.
  • Speaking of vampire movies – the original Salem’s Lot and the Rob Lowe remake are both worth watching. The kid outside the window still gives me nightmares 😱.
  • Other Stephen King hits – Pet Semetary, 1408, Christine for sure, and definitely the original Carrie with Sissy Spacek and IT – remake and original.
  • We also can’t forget the original Poltergeist. That damn 🤡 gets me every time!
  • Lastly, if you can find her, I would recommend Elvira, Mistress of the Darkness Movie Macabre – She gets some of the worst B movies that are just so much fun to watch, especially with her running commentary. Three favorites of mine growing up were Pigs, Alien Contamination (a.k.a. Contamination) and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (classically bad movie 😆).

Just a few suggestions to get you through the rest of the month, with a little something for everyone.

Happy (almost) Halloween My Lovelies!

Note: Guess what tomorrow is? Mama’s Boy for the win!

One More String to Sever

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com

Just when you think you’ve got everything separated out from your ex, you discover yet another connection that has to be severed 🤬.

I recently remembered that my ex and I had done a 23anMe DNA test years ago. At the time he tucked all of our information under one account (let this be a lesson – keep stuff like this separated) and I don’t have the login information. And it’s just one more tie connecting me to him 🤮.  

So I called to see if that tie could be severed and praise the goddesses it can. As long as I can recall any data that would call up the account 🤦‍♀️. We start with just my name, hyphenated of course, and then name and DOB – nothing. Then we try his name, again nothing (????? probably used Mike instead of Michael). Next email address, easy right? Nope he had a few at the time, so I had no idea which one it could be. I tried his general account (after I searched all over my computer, because I chose not to remember it 😜). We tried his name and DOB and I actually forgot the year he was born stupid broken brain 🤣🤣 (I finally realized I was only off by a year 🤷🏼‍♀️). Lastly, we used the phone number (still had to try to different ones, of course 🙄) and finally hit paydirt! It turns out he used my first name and his last name, no hyphen, which is why they couldn’t find it. Wouldn’t you think that the program was smart enough to make the connection, with first name, hyphenated, and DOB even if hyphenate wasn’t used? Especially when your first name is fairly unique and the spelling is not common (Charleen vs Charlene, Sharlene or Sharleen). Add the DOB and it should come up, right? Nope! This took a ridiculous amount of data mining to find the magic combination 🤯. But it was accomplished, I think, 🙏🏻.

Next steps in this nightmare process? Waiting for a form from 23andMe to be emailed (after it’s escalation), filled out and returned then just maybe I can see if any new data I was unaware of has been attached to my sample. Fingers crossed 🤞. However, if I have learned nothing in the past three years, I have learned this: with me this small will have unforeseen problems down the road. I predict a second call will need to be made 😁. I swear somedays…

Can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next 🙄😆😆. Wish me luck 😊!
