Love you guys

Oh my gosh guys, miss you SO much! For sure still LOVING LIFE and having NON-STOP FUN and I didn't get chubs or the rona and I'm still hair-smart not booksmart, BUT can I just say, the other day was WIERD. Do you ever just look out at Pal and fill super empty inside, not in the skinny way but in the sad way, so you close your big ol eyes and quietly realize that filling deep down...

is you mIsSiNg thE dAyS whEn wE dId tHis to eMpHasIZe tHiNgS?! 

ME TOO. 

It's like, back in our own pioneer times, JJWT's and I's time in law/biz/medical/dental school, when we had to go INSIDE for cupcakes instead of drive thru cookies (bad I know) and my sassy tweens were just my sassy baby bump? THOSE. WERE. THE. DAYSSS. 

Remember that old saying, the only thing constant is Cafe Rio? SO TRUE. Where does the time, like, literally go!

Let me guess, you have like 6-8 kids now?
No and ew! Everyone knows 4 is the new 6, guys. I'm definitly hot, definitly righteous, defiantly fertile, but I'm not gross.

How big are your eyebrows now?
On a scale of one to ginorm, ginorm.

What's up with your frumpy SIL Ruth? 
Uggggh, I fill super bad for her, not only did she leave the church cuz pride but she also uses ZERO oils, didn't put her girls in dance AND has NEVER remodeled her kitchen, not even once. Super sad.

What have been the biggest changes in your life in the last decade since you blogged?
Seriously, honestly, literally, not much. My hair extensions got more aggressive, my hot boobs got a boost, plus we built a new house a couple times (don't mean to be rude, just saying, used houses bum me out), I DID MY RESEARCH and got way into conspiracy theories, but everything else is THE EXACT SAME as way back when, and that includes my face because #botox {stiff wink, stiff wink}

Tell us your views on racial justice and all the ongoing civil unrest, TAMN. 
Seriously, I LOVE black people. Both I've talked to have been darling. I hardly even see color but when I do, I'm all, CUTE! It bugs me when people say I need to "do" the "work" bc HELLO...I play Lizzo literally EVERY time I teach group fitness.

FROWNSMILES!

The submissions were so good it was fuh-reaky. Meet just four of the dozens of master-pieces submitted! Love them!

See the look on Jeannie's face as she sees that her friend Marie is back on diet coke? That is the "I'm def not judging you, but my feelings of moral superiority are through the roof and it feels so good to be better than you" look at it's finest.

Barbara gets bonus points for the painting AND willow tree figurines in the background. This is the face I made when Lynzii said she was having triplets. It's like polite happy and awww-that's-way-to-bad mixed with thinly-vailed gross out. And its beautiful.

Amy's frownsmile is of such intensity that it could be used for LITERALLY any occassion.

"Oh my GOSH how ARE you!?"
"You didn't do your VTing yet?!?"
"Have you put on any weight lately? Not to be rude."
"My daughter wrote all over your wall with permanent marker? CUTE!"
"LOVE. YOUR. SKIRT."

A true frownsmile works for all of those AND MORE. Divine.

Lili's is not quite frowny enough to be a real frownsmile, but I include it bc it's got an adorable rebukey gentle voice-as-high-as-your-standards confrince talk written ALL OVER IT.
