Louise Penny’s books are excellent. Highly recommend. I love the world she created and I do suggest reading her Three Pines series in order. But I’m also definitely a suspense/mystery person.

I’m slightly obsessed w/ Seth Meyers. He and his brother started a podcast, Family Trips, that I’m enjoying. And I always find his YouTube clips cheer me up. The husband and I both get a kick out of “Corrections.”

Those are just a couple suggestions of things I like / am liking.

We’re watching The Bear too. If it weren’t in Chicago, I’m not entirely sure I’d enjoy it as much.

Snoozeberries are THE BEST. So you can count me as a sleep edible user too.

I took ThinkSport with me to the Galapagos last summer because 1. I needed to bring something environmentally friendly; and 2. we were on the equator. It’s a little thicker than I prefer. I’m back to Goop’s Unseen. I tried the La Roche Posay sunsreen and I liked Unseen better.

I haven’t tried a lot of others, so am of no help.

Yay anon, glad the surgery went well and you’re on the mend. Also really cool about your grandma!!

And congrats on the site design Wendy.

I’ve typically worn black to most evening weddings. There was some advice blog not too long ago and a lot of the commenters were against black for weddings, so I was second guessing my choices.

I had an impeccable black lace dress that I wore a lot. While I haven’t gained weight, my proportions are a little different and my dress no longer fits comfortably. I’m on the search for another.

This one is on super sale, so am considering. But nervous because no returns.

Peggy, I’m so sorry that happened to your sister. What a horrible tragedy. I’m happy you were able to find some peace and not take up more headspace than needed with that guy. It’s still hard, I’m sure.

Benign breast tissue. Which I was sure of, but glad to get the call regardless. The nurses/techs were so, so nice, which was a comfort.

Good luck on the solo portion Copa!!

Hfantods, I really wanted to like Hadestown. I think I would have liked it had it been a different cast. The singing was so off. It almost seemed amateurish for a broadway play. So, if it’s the same cast, I wouldn’t recommend.

I had a similar problem with Six. I saw the original cast before the show hit Broadway. They premiered it in the states at the Shakespeare theater in Chicago. I saw it again when it came back and was disappointed. The original was SO GOOD.

I told the husband maybe we need to start flying to NYC if there’s a show we really want to see. I’m kidding of course. I have liked other shows when they come to a Chicago.
