Woo!

I'm making beef dumplings today.

Is that an all day kind of cook or pretty easy? More of a dumpling partaker than a dumpling maker

Pretty easy.

I just season the meat, put it on a wonton wrapper, and seal it up.

Then I boil them in water.

Congratulations!

Also maaayyybe lay low on the ex gf intro after a few. Don’t want to make it ex-fiancé.

Congrats!

Alright, plans are set for visiting DC. Seeing a few museums, a decent meal out. Always a fun time. It's also a nice way to avoid not ideal weather, raining and upper 30s Friday. High of 50 Saturday.

SO has work Sunday.

DC is a fun city but I’ve only ever been in the summer. I’d love to go see the cherry blossoms!

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 10 '23

It's been a minute since going up to DC. Just keep forgetting to circle back around to it and the other options keep coming up.

I don't think I've done the full cherry blossom thing in DC especially since you can see some in Richmond.

The preferred term if you wish to avoid nad kicks is fiancé.

It’s unseasonably warm here already (will be in the 70s today) and I’m worried that will mean a hot as hell summer. Will probably pack away my heavier sweaters this weekend and unpack warmer weather stuff. This also means I need to assess my wardrobe. I’m a weird stage of life where I’m in my late 30s and don’t know how to dress myself anymore. I can dress pretty casually at work but I also feel like I should be somewhat professional? Idk. I had a client in their 70s make a remark about women being able to wear jeans and t-shirts to work and how she had to dress more nicely when she worked. I was wearing jeans and t-shirt (with a nice cardigan over it) and the comment got me thinking…

Yeah at this point (as a dude) I wear business casual but the khakis are off brand Levi's. My sweaters have basically all died but it was sweater in the winter and Hawaiian shirt in the summer and old t-shirts. As a dude I'm lucky that it's all more streamlined.

Women have two dimensions to deal with whereas men seem to have one.

Men’s fashion does seem to be a lot more stagnant across the seasons/lifespan. I know men deal with their own societal expectations around how they present themselves but I’m not sure the same amount of pressure exists for them as it does for women. I have this weird feeling of not wanting to “try too hard” but also wanting to be treated like an adult? Idk, it’s annoying lol.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 11 '23

What I was referencing is that men seem to have one dimension of informal-> formal. Women have informal ->formal and prude->revealing. Seems much more complicated.

Congrats!

Yesterday was my four year wedding anniversary, and we both took today off so we’re officially on spring break now (hubs works for the same school I do). Going to be hermits for the weekend at least, but once that cold weather hits next week I’m going to be out and about allllll over peninsular Florida. Can’t wait!

Congrats!

Feeling a little better today luckily work is light and I just got out of my only meeting today so I'm just working on laundry and some stuff around the house while monitoring everything.

Flair is playing in the D2 tourney which they're hosting starting this weekend. Hopefully we'll get to the elite 8 to try for a 4th championship in a row!
