Kamala has chosen her running mate. This might help her "Walz" on into the office, or it might drive people to choose between some special white-man kinda crazy in the election. Either way, as you continue to collect info on both sides of the political line, I hope you keep on dancing to the beat I am putting down in my Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl.

Someone asked me a question, and I accidentally typed, "I haven't even had time to drink about it!" And then I thought, was that really an accident or just a new country song waiting to be written?

When I put on a new dress or shirt, I automatically get pissed off thinking about how rich the creator of the clear plastic strips on the shoulders of all these garments must be, only for me to cut them out and chuck them in the trash.

You know you have mad skills when you're in a company meeting, on Zoom, in the middle of your manicure when one of your AirPods falls out of your ear, and you manage to get it back in there with the nail-soaking foils still wrapped around the ends of your fingers.

There is no shame in bagging your groceries in the parking lot, because you refuse to pay bag fees for things you know you have in your car but cannot, for the life of you, remember to bring into the store. In fact, I may be guilty of also putting everything in a hand-carry basket, bringing it home with me, then returning the basket to the grocery store on my next visit.
5
Speaking of the grocery store, when you ask someone who just pulled in next to if they need your cart or not, it's not really a question of assistance for that person. Rather it is a quiet plea to return the cart. So, since you're going to walk into the store anyway, can you please just take the damn thing with you?

It always amazes me how we go to parties, leave things - expensive things - behind, yet no one ever claims them. Kind of like the lost-and-found at school. How does your kid lose a North Face jacket or a Stanley cup, and no one gives a shit? Apparently, I need more fun money.

I can tell my age, because I am slowly but surely losing the tact I once had when I hear the same story I have heard at least seven other times and can no longer pretend that I enjoy and/or haven't heard it.

Why is it lately that the only time someone needs to call or text me is when I am in the middle of getting ready to leave the house for an event to which I am already running VERY late?
9
On that same topic, why do I feel that these calls or texts need an immediate response? Instead of the "I'm driving and can't answer you right now" auto prompt on our phones, we need a "I'm trying to live my life without looking at this f'ing phone, so please respect my privacy at this very trying time."

I read a quote that I really liked - "Insecurity is loud. Confidence is quiet." And it really made me think about myself, because I am one of the loudest people that people know, but I am also uber (sometimes overly) confident, so...???
While you are chewing on that, I thought I would give you something else to chew on - a FOOD recipe. Of course, this recipe incorporates two of my most favorite things - vodka and pasta! I never really thought about why penne alla vodka is the one thing I will order on any menu, anywhere, but putting this to paper really makes it clear for me. So, this week, you are challenged with cooking your liquor - and maybe grab a nice bottle of vino to accompany it!
I like my pasta straight up with a side of vodka
