This was hilarious, Tina. I don’t know if you should divorce your husband, but if this had happened pre-marriage, I would have recommended calling off the enguagement. My junk-food-I-could-eat-til-I-die is Cheez-Its. Those little orange bastards own me.
ENGUAGEMENT! I snotted just now reading that. Brilliant! I also loooove Cheez-Its. I like buying the reduced fat ones and feeling like a real g.d. Health Nut.
This is true. Should I make that my next post—an exhaustive list??? Could be fun. I haven't even mentioned how dramatically loud he sneezes, or how many times in a row. Such an attention hog, that guy.
Thanks, Ofifoto! I appreciate that. I slap-dashed it together as a challenge to myself to write a little more quickly. It was fun! Even though there were a few misspellings which might make my hair fall out in one big chunk. We shall see!
I have "nuggs" often with two small humans living under my roof but ask me for one right now and it's like being asked to tell a joke...I got nothin. I've been thinking of carrying a notebook with me to jot down these things. Also, science I'm good with but start talking about finance and I'm all head nods and fake smiles. Just ask John how our last financial planning meeting went. I don't get invited anymore. Love your nuggs!
I promise you, you have so many—and they cross your mind more than you realize. It takes a while, but if you can start training yourself to notice those memories and funny things that cross your path, you'll be shocked. And yes, write them down! But keep them short: don't make it hard on yourself. I keep a daily note in my phone and write just enough that I'll remember the reference. Like: "Becki financial planning meeting." Get going!!! I'd love to hear your stories!
REcently posted a note about the word "nugg," as a shorthand of nuggett, which makes sense in the context that you are referring to. However, I took exception to chicken "nuggs." In this food context, nugg is too close to "Ugh" and is also vaguely sexual, i.e. unappetizing!.
It's not the prettiest word, but it was memorable enough to stick, I guess. My students don't all love it, but I just smack their hands with my wooden ruler! That usually shuts them up.
So happy I found you! You’re funny, lovely. I love your voice and tone. Thank you for including the details!
Thanks, Christiana. Appreciate the kind words!

I buy the regular ones but remind myself that they’re baked, not fried, as I shovel them into my face. Also a health nut.
I only voted no to divorce because there are soooo many other better reasons to divorce him.

I need a bahahaha option on the poll. There was so much to enjoy about this post, Tina.

Nothing as funny (or noticeable) as the box of guages!
