It's finally sweater weather in New England! Unfortunately, that's only for about two hours in the morning. After that, you might get summer or winter. Or both. You never know! Just like you have no idea where my random mind will go in this week's Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl

My husband is actually helpful around the house. However, we have lived here for over 12 years. Why is it that he still has no idea where so many things go while unloading the dishwasher? Coming home to a pile of clean dishes to put away is a nice gesture. I guess. But common sense and attention to detail would be even nicer...

My pile of clothes that are, like, a little dirty, but could certainly be worn again is becoming a bit mountainous. The struggle is real though. Like, is wearing the shirt the next week proof that I didn't wash it? I don't want my recycle routine to be that obvious. But then I have two weeks' worth of reusables just sitting around. Also, should I keep them in my closet? But in a special section that does not touch the clean clothing? Or on a piece of furniture? Workout equipment? Hiding behind my bathroom door on the tub ledge? Oh, and somehow, I still have laundry to do. Why?

Cotton balls. I spring for the Jumbo Max size. However, I found a bag of regular-sized cotton balls, and felt frugal, so I have been using them for travel. I'm here to tell you, "No!" Just no. Using little cotton balls are like trying to clean your face off with craft poofs. They hold about one drop of astringent. I'm not even sure they would cover a whole blemish. God forbid you had an open wound that was bleeding out and all you had were these cotton dots to save you. Take the whole damn bag and shove it in there. It will be your only hope. Long story short - making paper snowmen for Christmas? Tiny cotton balls are your friend. Trying to do anything else that requires cotton balls? Go big or go home.

How does a piece of minty gum go from an exhilarating breath freshener to something that makes me want to puke in a matter of minutes?

It isn't until you sell your car that you realize how much unnecessary shit you keep in it. That middle console is like an automotive Bermuda Triangle.

Here is a sure-fire way to tell that I am lying. If you ask me to go out, and I say any of these - "I'm not in the mood," "I'm not going to stay long," or "I'm not going to drink more than one."

Who knew that Pacey Witter and Seth Cohen would be the ones making us drool 20 years later?

Does the US Postal Service feel slighted by Amazon's uncanny way to mail AND return everything they sell for free? I mean, I am at the UPS store almost as much as the Amazon drivers are at my house. It's a vicious cycle.

I passed by a Gen Zer wearing a shirt that said, "Just Do It. Later." And all at once, everything wrong with this generation made so much sense.

It's the simple things that matter. Like the words to a country song by Billy Currington - "God is great. Beer is good. And people are crazy." I mean, right?
Weather-wise, I am truly concerned for all of our friends and family in Florida today. Praying that no lives are lost and property damage is minimal. If you want to say, "F-off, Milton," try making one of these.
Drink up, Milt!
