15 thoughts I had on last night's debate

Hey all, please know that these are pretty much all silly comments because I honestly think the few big take aways I had are so far from unique. But I'm happy to talk about those with anyone who is interested.

  1. Hell yeah Andrew Yang, your plan will pay off most of my loan...huh...almost seems like it doesn't fix my problems...
  2. The sound was slightly off and that was so distracting.
  3. Why did three candidates miss the blue memo?
  4. Some of the candidates must have had like stepping stools, right? I know I saw Klobuchar's...
  5. Biden and Yang got away without wearing wedding rings (see my rambling Buzzfeed post about this).
  6. Klobuchar had clearly practiced some lines ("While Bernie wrote the bill, I read the bill.").
  7. Yang's shirt is too tight...that top button was struggling. You're rich dude, get that tailored.
  8. Castro is going to catch so much flak for going after Biden.
  9. God I hate it when people don't just answer the question they were asked.
  10. Saying "he invoked your name" made the mentioned candidate sound like a demon...yes?
  11. Yang, you're right, standardized tests are problematic and, IMHO, awful...but you sure did make money on them, right?
  12. Hey Biden...real quick, what year is it?
  13. Each time there has been a protest at a debate, I can't understand what they're saying.
  14. Warren has a good career story, but I have heard it so many times (yes, I get that candidates have to repeat things so that people get them).
  15. Did Castro have glitter on his suit or was the light just catching it weird?
(Prompt by me)

Starting my parental journey, part 9

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here ,  read part 6 here ,  read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
